Nice set up! What Bi-pod are you using ?

Nice rig, are you going to put a can on it?

Nice. Do you find the cheek piece is high enough with a 50 mm scope?

Nice rig for sure.

Seems ok Brian. It's pretty comfortable to shoot. Compared with other rifles I've had it's quite heavy which helps :)

Not sure. I'm thinking it's too sexy to cut up.

Excellent scope choice aswell.
