Ordered some ammo from Southwest Ammo and my mom (of all people) made me some range bag rests.
I think I'm ready to go put some holes in some paper that are (hopefully) very close together.

It's funny how excited my wife is about this rifle......
Range report and better pics by the weekend.

Re: My new Rig.....

You are very lucky to have a wife excited about your rifle. You could be like the rest of us and have to deal with nagging because we want another part, reloading tool, or ammo. Next step for you is to start reloading and really unlock the potential of that weapon system.

Good luck,
Merritt
 
Re: My new Rig.....

Thanks Merritt..
Don't get me wrong....she's not THAT excited...she didn't give me a bunch of sh!t over it is all....and she took the time to actually look it over... To me ...that's excited.

Already got most of the reloading equipment I need save for a few pieces, however I won't be reloading for a while until I have more brass. Ordered some rounds from Southwest Ammo, but not sure it's going to make it here before Sunday.

May end up getting some Black Hills for Sunday's shoot.
I like the rifle in your sig.....looks very nice!!

Re: My new Rig.....

nice looking stick. Its nice to have a wife not nag you to death . My wife purchased me my last rifle (savage 10fcp hs precision) total surprise . Let us know how it shoots
 
Re: My new Rig.....

Nice agr490.....not sure my wife would go that far....but she is fairly tolerant of my shooting. My shooting buddy just got a savage....nice rifle.

Going to the range on Sunday morning, so I'll let you guys know how I did...
 
Re: My new Rig.....

Have you used that scope yet? lemme know what you think of it, as i can see it has good magnification for a good price.
