now now rene, there was no slight intended to you or the rifle itself, it was just something of a personal preference. i have seen what you can do with that bad boy, and i say you are more +5

Thanks for a lot for the knowledgable insight guys, I actually went to my local RRA deer and help the standard operator and liked the fit much better than the standard a4. Now I get to start saving pennies for the new toy! Thanks guys and as always keep the brass flying
