Very nice, Josh! You should be able to make life miserable for a whole range of animals if you're a hunter, and whole bunch of bulls eyes if your target shooter!

nice.....
Is the reciever single shot?
Ive become used to having triggers set up towards your weight as well....(To Me)..Ive found that having the trigger set at higher rates helps.... (Stock dependent) with 1K hits

No. It's built on a long action with a blind magazine. I didn't have to make any modification to the mag either.
