Thank you ,will do .
Going to start with win. 130 grain deer season ammo because I have two boxes of it .
Good rifle, good calber!
When the scope comes in, call Leupold and have them check the serial number. Unfortunately, I speak from experience. I bought one and after calling Leupold I found out it was a fake, or “clone” as the Chinese patent-stealing market likes to call it. I wasn’t happy.

Thanks ,I have heard of that before .That is a good heads up for us all .
Found this rifle on used rack marked down and looks like it is new .Looked up serial number and is a 2012 made date .It was a good deal so I made a offer and come home with it . Had the box and all that comes new with it .:rolleyes:
Congrats, billybob, on the new rifle and the good deal. My favorite caliber. Enjoy it.
I got a Stevens 200 have found out it like 130 grain better

Finally got rifle together and shot today ,Winchester 130 grain deer season extreme point .On paper at 25 yards ,then moved to 100 yards after about four shots got it at 1inch and 1/2 high and almost dead center ,last two shots covered with a nickel .Very happy with this combo .:rockon:
I got a 114 30 06 wish it shot Winchester but she prefers hornaday 165. GrainQuote:
