I bought the same rifle and caliber a year ago for $259.00 You are gonna love the .204. O-ring the thing, dry the latch, locktite the rail and screws (Quick- FAQS) and put about 40 rds through it and clean good with copper cleaner and then shoot it dirty for about 30-40rds. Suggestion: Don't skimp on the scope. That thing is good to 400yds on yotes and pdogs with decent optics.
