Where are you? Do you have any trouble finding longer range areas to shoot? Which ammo? Even with a heavy barrel you've got a great shooting rifle in a manageable package!

zookman,

I'm not sure what your fingers or the tape measurer are pointing to in the photos.

Is it the 2 fresh/obvious bullet dents close together in the right hand side of the first image?

And, the 3 on the right for the second group/second image? (minus the flyer to the left of the black circle)

thanks,
richard
