Hey guys, well the clock is ticking now, and I am getting excited already. I picked up the VARI-x III, 6.5-20 today, and put the " Sacrifice " gun on layaway with a healthy deposit. I will have it paid for in a few weeks, then maybe another week to put it together and test fire it, then it will be mine. I am going to put dual dovetail bases, and I have a set of rings already. I love the dual dovetail bases because they do not move. I used to use the conventional Leupold bases that have the screws on both sides for Windage. Well, a few years back, the day before a sniper shoot, my groups started walking left to right almost in a straight line every time I fired. We figured it out, and corrected the problem with a little BLUE loctite. Then I discovered the dual dovetail bases, and now that is all I use. On another note, the rifle that I am buying, is a late nineties ADL synthetic in 7 mag. Action is smooth, and trigger is one of the original 40 x style, that Mike Walker designed. I can work wonders with those babies. For now, I am going to be swapping stocks with one of my other HS stocked rifles until I can decide which way to go as far as it's own stock. I've been looking but nothing has jumped out an bit me, except maybe on of those Bobby Hart LRH models. Time will tell. Just an update, sorry for the long read!
