She thinks it would look better blued rather than stainless, and she's never been a fan of laminated stocks (particularly the Predator's mountain green).
I'm also banned from receiving any further 'presents' until the end of the year.
but but but you need a scope for the new rifle
I did the logical thing and bought the scope and ammo first, then I went for the big ticket item. There's a method to my madness.
"But what's the point of the scope and all that ammo if you don't have a rifle for it...."

Million dollar question on running in, how many shots between barrel cleans? Be interested to hear opinions, but make it fast...
My aim is;
Use a good copper solvent , clean after every shot until there's little or no copper fouling then try five shots then clean. Use the amount of copper coming out as a guide.

This one is a real contentious issue, I am very methodical in my approach to this. What I do is give it a good clean, then sight it in/test loads when I get home I clean it again.
Next time I take it out and shoot it again I give it another clean when I get home again, repeat

Why?????
You run in a custom barrel and they have a lot better finish than a factory barrel.
A factory barrel has a rough finish in the bore which will grab more copper.
That is why I said 3 shot groups and clean. It would take a long time to shoot 1 clean 1.
