Congratulations I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Kudos for remarks on Guards, in my neck of the woods the guards are slow, but I've never been treated with anything but respect. It's the politicians we have to beware of.

Best of luck Enda. I have one myself. I've got a heap of ammo for it - 40gr nosler, 50 gr nosler, 50 gr AE hollo point, 52 gr HPBT Hornady and 40gr BT Hornady.

I've only had a chance to really fire the 50gr AE hollow point and they are good for the price. Best shot was 232yds at a fox at night and he only went 2 or 3 steps. Not bad at all.

I've fired the 40gr BT Hornady and got good results for groups sub 1" @ 100yds. I used acetone to remove the moly coat as I wouldn't be too fond of it in the bore.

Above all enjoy it, and don't be afraid to shoot it - rifles like the tactical are for more than just looking at!!!

Out of curiosity, what glass are you going to mount on it?

Get yourself some ear protection before you permanently damage your hearing. It doesn't take much to cause irreversible damage.
