That makes perfect sense. Congrats , Im not a fan of wood stocks but that thing is a beauty....I'd be scared to scratch it...hence why all my rifles have synthetic stocks. Love my Cooper though!

You should come up here and let me test it out on a big whitey

That thing is a thing of beauty! Wish I could afford a package like that ha.

No no no no. He's mine. Although, we could do a trade. I'll let you sit in my blind for this buck in exchange for that Cooper topped with the Swarovski

I might have let him walk this evening

You noticed it too eh? Kinda obvious I guess. Bit of a bummer on a rifle that expensive.
