    Bet she does the same with shoes...��
    It's a fools game to tell the Mrs what something cost.

    It seems to be going alright. It shot two Tahr over the weekend at 384 and 454 yards.

    I went with the Vulcan as a friend of mine has had a few Trueflight barrels that just wouldn't shoot. Not sure what the price difference is.

    Nothing wrong with them Vulcans.

    I had 2 trueflite 6.5 barrels that didn't shoot and was told to keep firing them till they did shoot.
    Left in the lurch as well with no refunds or anything.
    Had a Vulcan that shot mint.
    They are cheaper but I don't know by how much.
    Abe will know.
