Hey Quick,

The rifle came from Melbourne, and the rest I ordered from all over the place (U.S mainly)
Got the rifle back in April, from MIALLS, Frankston, but they ordered it in for me.

Good rig, I'm quite happy with it.

Let me know when you pick it up, (post some pics)

What scope and rings/base you goin with?

I'm either going with a Wonder Optics 4-14x50 or a Falcon Menace 4-14x44 FFP with Burris XTR Low 30mm Rings and a 20MOA Rail. Im leaning towards the Wonder for the price and a few guys on another forum I am frequently on have said some good things about it, and also the reticle is nice aswell.

Can I ask how much you paid back then?? Cleavers have it for $1305 now, they used to be only $1085 and they are usually the cheapest I seen this rifle at. I'm planning on grabbing it around feb/march time. I've got to pay for some computer upgrades first. I will be posting some pics when I get it. I cant wait for it!!!!!

Hey Quick,
Yeah, I think it was $1060. Pretty sure, in fact.

Haven't heard of Wonder Optics....

Cheers,

Yeah, they a new company in the US. Seems to be a good quality scope for the but the reticle is a tad cluttered (I think) for longer shots at the cpesky critters. I'd like the MilDots.

After more looking around, I maybe going with a Bushnell 5-15x40 Tactical. BTW, I've decided the computer upgrades can wait, I want my SPS Tactical!!!! I just ahve to find a decent price. Cleavers have a special that you can buy at the OLD price and I have to see how long that lasts. Im not allowed anotehr rifle this side of Chrissy unforunatly. My mum would kill me (I've bought three firearms this year already).

Hahhahahaa,

Yeah mate, it pays to keep the 'boss' happy.

Why you like mil-dots? How bout the TMR style?

The Tacticals go for about 1300 now. Anything under that isn't a bad price.

Keep me posted.

I like the clean and simple look of the MilDots. Its not as cluttered at the reticles on the Wonder or Falcon.
