Ready to bang some steel this season!

 

[WSMDRT]

Just changed out the Dual Dovetail bases and rings(20 moa total) in favor of 20 moa Weaver rail and Burris Signature rings with 20 moa inserts(40 moa total). I would like to shoot this rifle out as far as it can reach this summer at Thunder Valley in Ohio. Vortex 6-24 HS-T only has 65 minutes adjustment so I need to take advantage of more cant than old bases can offer.
