Darin,  I didn't say it was broke in.  I was simply going to let him hold it so he could get an idea what a nice rig looks and feels like!!   I hate to take it out into the woods,  I might put a scratch on the fine looking wood!   LOL

Those guns do have some pretty stocks on them. You keep yours close to the safe and I'll keep banging my around. Lol.
Really though Tim you can't go wrong with the Leupold or Zeiss in the 40mm plenty of light gathering glass for even the long shots and the carnivore lights sit perfect right on top without the problem of the 50mm bell end.

You guys crack me up.  No secret super secret hunting spots for me, just ice fishing spots and that's not looking good at the moment.

Jake, I may take you up on that.  Send me a PM on when you would be available.

well now lets not forget the Nightforce and Vortex scopes, they both make some mighty fine optics... I'll let you look at my Vortex when I come up if you can wait that long...

The 17 Hornet.....Now that is a predator hunters gun...I have one in a  E A Brown Encore barrel... However I'm going to start to use the MGM 17 WSMRF barrel...  Starting to buy ammo just in case it should fall along the way side.. What a shame they put out a cheap gun that will make people not want to use the rimfire.. Welp i'll be ready... Got like 1450 rounds of the three mfg ammo...  I did have the BMAG but I sold it...It was capable of killing things.. But seemed to string after the 5th shot.. So it was not target gun... I had to run the rod through it and then it went back to shooting the next  4 dead center..I never was a person to use my predator guns for target practice...
