I have never shot one, but heard great things about them and that combination is nice, 60 is perfect for 26

You'll love it! Extremely well made, fast and silent. he beaver tail is a must!

Now the wait.  Sometimes the anticipation is half the fun.
I can't believe that one day with 'Ron w' would infect you so quickly.
Enjoy
