Another AZ writer,

Good points all. I went all weekend without going to a gun store or visiting gunbroker, then I won a rifle in a raffle at a sporting clays shoot.

You're right: no hangover.

I picked up my 6.5x55 FS!! Now I'm waiting for the 3x9 Leupold Vari XII I won on-line to arrive(...like me, a bit older but better made ). Hopefully I can get the carbine sighted in before season opener so it can be "blooded" this year. The trigger was easily adjusted a smidge to safely break light and cleanly. When the trigger is now set...whoa !! I slammed the bolt and bumped the butt several times to check it and it didn't release inadvertently. This is one of the best trades to date, I don't regret trading the Remington at all and I can't wait to shoot this little Czech beauty !



Excuse me, I got worked up writing this an I think I need to dump kitty litter down my shorts now....
