Hello Remington40x
Thanks for the reply.

It will get 'out to the range as soon as the snow melts, and I hope to take it 'out deer hunting this fall.

Hello Run With The Fox,
Thanks for the reply.

Yes indeed, I handload for this and 150 other calibers.

Hello Vall,
Thanks for the reply.

Actually, the scope is at the right height where it sits. I must have a 'high face.
