Thanks. It’s a budget build. Sixth grade social studies teachers only have so much $$ to work with. (I mean, unless someone wants to buy me the winning PowerBall ticket, since I’m too pessimistic to buy a ticket for myself...). I’m pretty happy with it.
Some small frustrations; I wanted an FDE pistol grip, but I didn’t see one I liked as well in FDE as the black one, so I’ll forgo the cosmetic for function. Also, I need an enlarged trigger guard. If I need to fit a gloved finger in there, it’ll have to be a bit more open. A hunting rifle NEEDS a sling- if I have to drag a deer, I will want my rifle on my back. No place locally carries the sling hardware and sling I need and I don’t have time to get over to Brownell’s, or anywhere like that. I don’t want to order them online because I already got some I’m not happy with. Went to a gun show today and there was nothing.
I wondered about the Bear Creek Arsenal barrel (at under $100 on sale), but the last group of three was about 1.5”. That will kill a deer! I assume it will be more accurate with more rounds, since I’ve only put about three boxes through it so far.
