buster, We got some people sick up here when they bought them from a pet store in Chicago, my wife said some were sold here in Wausau also, some kinda virus that started in Africa. Another good reason for shootin' dem little buggers. Sod, my Burris scope is treating me pretty good, last Wed. got a .085" 4 shot group with my 223, I'm tellin' ya, got to get one, they get the job done. Later, Jay
