Congratulations. I have a Model 12 long range target rifle that I shoot Palma and long range prone. The rifle is great. Ergonomics great on laminate prone stock. I also like the target Accutrigger. The .308 has a 1:13 twist 30 in. barrel meant for 155 gr bullets, but the rifle shoots the heavier 175-178 gr bullets very well which I prefer. I also have a barrel chambered for 6mm SLR that also shoots great.
So enjoy your adventure with your new rifle.
