I did it too !

I see that Degoins beat me to the punch with his post, but I just sent Butch a deposit on a Double as well. I finally commited to buying what I really wanted and sent Butch a deposit on a ph in 470. I'm sure I will have as many questions as this will be my first double as well.

At this point I'm sticking with the basic model offered. I intend to go to SCI in Reno and meet wth Butch and look over what he has there. I may opt for the Night sight up grade. Any opinnions? Also is there a commercial manufacture of cast lead bullets. I'm thinking of 500 gr flat nose. I intend to reload for the gun and use lead reduced loads for general target practice. I just ordered 100 pieces of brass through Midway, figured I'd start to assemble the componets now.
