Glad to be here. Want to thank you guys for all the info I‘ve gleaned. I‘ve spent some time researching and learning and pulled the trigger on some better equipment recently. I received my vortex viper pst gen2 this week and temp mounted it on my Marlin xl7 30-06, and it is amazing. My first good scope & rings, but the rifle cost a third as much 10+ yrs ago, and still shoots sub moa. Sometimes ya just get lucky. Will move it over to my new bergara b14 hmr 6.5C when it arrives next week. Recently finished my first read of Cleckners’ Long Range Shooting Handbook which inspired me, and reminded me how little I know. So I’ll just be browsing around from time to time, and thanks again.

Thanks for the welcoming comments. I got the only box of 6.5 for only $42... But ATF or whomever flagged my background check. I have never had that happen, so I am surprised since I just recently purchased another handgun. Certainly an error, but was told by store staff that it could take up to 30 days to clear. Anybody know about these things? Kinda bummed
 
Got the call tonight that feds released the hold on my rifle! Came with 24” barrel as advertised by cabelas, kinda unusual, and also has bergara 20 moa picatiny rail which I wasn’t expecting. Fit and finish is good. Get to do a little tinkering this weekend...
