This put a smile on my face. Good shooting man.

Hah, thanks guys! Really appreciate the good words. I actually went to another comp recently, but didn't fare quite as well. 5th out of almost 20 shooters I think. Still not bad. Should've been much better. My 1st stage was FLAWLESS. Couldn't have been any better, but I mucked it up on the 2nd stage and missed a 10" plate at 740 and 780 yards. Somehow composed myself to get 1st round hits on a 1k yard and a 905 yd right after that though. Oh well. Better luck next time.

I'm actually in the process of building a new rifle, a 6.5 Creedmoor. I was going to rebarrel this gun, but after everyone's ranting and raving (both here and my local friends/family), I decided to leave this gun the way it is and build another, just so I can keep hurting people's feelings with this one. lol. Almost even thought about putting it back in the factory stock (I'd have to bed it and stiffen it of course) to REALLY mess with people's heads. haha
