Ahhhhhh ha!

I had to be an ass!!!! You will love the A3...I was worried about it at first and holding it without the barreled action in it but with it all together....yeah buddy!!!

Nice.....you might throw the prices you paid for it all up as well so beginners can see that semi-custom work isn't out of reach! If you sell it later just go back and edit the total value up a little!!

Hydro,

Went with the FTE due to the fact that you can null out enough recoil to observe the impact thru your glass. Thanks for the compliments guys! If the weather clears up here in my AO, gonna get her to the range the first of the week on my RDO. Will get you guys a range report ASAP!
