Maybe it was just a joke, But obviously there is a lot of respect for you and considering the effort of the people involved in gifting you this awesome tool I say
cudo's. enjoy and shoot straight!
Was shooting at range the other day and two people had magneto speeds that were mounted on an aftermarket bayonet. they both said its the best set up and they've used it for two years! Highly accurate and only missed on 4 shots in the 2 years they have used it.
the B-14 I have is great, 699.00 w/o scope. research shows they are a 3000 to 5000 round barrel unless you load super hot. Mine loves the 143 gr ELDX. 22 in barrel.
