I feel your excitement wlleven...theres just something about this rifle...
'course NOW I've gotta get dies, components (already working on that), another scope, etc. etc.
I decided to go with just a flash hider on my HH .308; the recoil really doesn't bother me, I'm not gonna be shooting out to 800 yards so no need to "spot the shot", and I was a little concerned about shooters who may be next to me. So instead of the thread guard I'll have something to protect the threads and still be slightly functional.

Are you posting pics in the picture section?

Best wishes with your "Hog Pen"...Brian
