Pretty good value! For the money you were talking about spending this would be an awesome rifle.

Looks good but like i've said i'll be waiting another couple of months probably. Still learning lots with my 22 and want to shoot that loads more before I go buying another rifle! Until then i'll just be researching, looking at them in shops and taking advantage of nice people like Gadgetman .

Absolutely. I ended up with something different to what I thought I wanted. Best bet is to annoy the local gun shop and get them to empty the rack onto the counter and play with them all. One or two will light your lights. Then you'll know what you're wanting.

Yeah, I will absolutely be doing that. I'm all for reading reviews but in the end it'll probably be whatever feels best in my hands. With my 22 I had everything sussed but then I tried a certain stock and absolutely had to have it. Just that comfortable.

Speaking of which, nobody seems to have many stock options for the other calibers. I guess 22lr is so popular they can afford to have a heap of different ones in stock. Do you generally have to order them in?
