With the introduction of this newer model there are very little reviews (understandable). There was one review in particular that had issues with the hornady 170 gr bullets. Anyone else here having issues with these bullets loading into the chamber? These were the bullets I intended on using. Also, what scope bases are recommended for this gun? I’ve seen DNz bases and weaver on piece rails - what is the brand and size that would be adequate for this rifle.

Really hoping I don’t regret this purchase as it is perfect for the thicker brush hunting that I do.

Thanks for Any input.
