Thanks guys. I can't wait to run some bullets through her!! Now I just need to decide on a scope...any ideas???
 
I put a Zeiss 6.5-20x50 on her and she shoots awesome!! Factory Federal 100 soft points (fireform) put 5 shots right at an inch at 100yards. Loaded up some full power 115gr Bergers and put 3 right over 1/2" at 100. I also shot 3 95gr Ballistic tips (fireform load) at 200yards at they group a touch under 1/2"!! I'm super happy so far. I can't wait to load some 105 and 115 Bergers and actually test them. Richard Graves is also going to make me some 115 Wildcats.

Finally got around to getting some pics!

So far I'm super happy with the rifle, everything I've shot out of her shoots great if I do my part.:D
