Good to hear!
Also at 29 pounds that rifle is alittle heavy don't you think ??
I'm comfortable with rifles up to 15 pounds personally.

Dimitri,
yes Sir, the rifle is a little heavy but, considering the fact that it goes from the truck straight to the shooting bench, weight is not a consideration as far as that goes...
I'll show you one of my 15 pound rifles and you can tell me what you think of it...
vint2,
This little N.E.F. with it's 16 1/4" barrel makes a superb little rifle for both deer and varmints. Besides the 155 gr. Hornady A-MAX that I load for both deer and coyote, the factory loaded SPEER 150 gr. Grand Slam load will shoot under an inch at 100 yards when shot from the bench. Two other bullets that I load for this gun are the SPEER 130 gr. Hollow Point and Sierra's 110 gr. Hollow Point....
