    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    @Beavis are you going to run it with just the irons?

    If you do manage to shoot it with irons, I'd be keen to know how it performs. Bought one myself recently (also in 30-06). Won't be able to test it out for a while.

    No I'll put a scope on it unless I can find some swanky euro mounts that will allow a return to zero.

    The old man got lucky years ago, shitty old Parker Hale and a broken pump action shottie got stolen when our house got burgled. Ended up with this beautiful Sako .270 from insurance. Always remember the store owner when we picked it up, saying he'd have kept it for himself if he hadn't unpackaged it the day we picked it up. Taken hundreds of deer and still going strong with the original 2.5 - 8x VXIII 25 years later
