Looks fantastic.......did it change the way it shot?

What size takedown system did you use? Looks great! I have a Hill with the sleeve system that I cannot shoot well as the grip shape is too round I like the system you used much better.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight;nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety;is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free,unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
