Received the lower sight for mine from Optics planet. Was a bizatch getting the old one out but got r dun. Haven't shot with the new sight as of yet but I sure do like the rifle even if it was hitting LLLLOOOOWWWWW! Critters are going to be in trouble now me thinks. Hope you are as happy with yours as I am mine.

jimbob,

I've  had many days I couldn't shoot a 2 inch group with my BC and a 4 12 40 scope.  You must be one of those young fellas that can still see. ;D  Glad it hit the ground running for you, let us know if you work up handloads for it and how they perform.

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?
