catcher,
so where did you get the gun, Yeagers? (i'm also from b'ham). I've looked at them several times and they really impress me! What length barrel did you get? Or i should ask (or go ask for myself) do they make one with a 26in. barrel (in the 300 win mag.) I know a guy who bought one in 30-06 and loves the gun. Look forward to you report and overall impression.
