I finally joined this discussion group. First, I want to thank the group for the education; I read all 113 pages, whew! Second, I want to thank the group and/or moderator for keeping politics and other unpleasantness off the pages. I concluded that the forum is focused on shooting (with a side of ball busting). With your help, I selected a 6.5CM RPR with a Vortex Viper PST gen 2 scope as a retirement gift to myself along with all the gear to reload ($$$! I’m in for $3.7k not counting ammo & cartridge components). I’m new to all this rifle business - not having shot rifles for 40+ years. I’m an engineer/data guy and hope that I will be a positive addition to this forum.
