    Absolutely. I ended up with something different to what I thought I wanted. Best bet is to annoy the local gun shop and get them to empty the rack onto the counter and play with them all. One or two will light your lights. Then you'll know what you're wanting.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Yeah, I will absolutely be doing that. I'm all for reading reviews but in the end it'll probably be whatever feels best in my hands. With my 22 I had everything sussed but then I tried a certain stock and absolutely had to have it. Just that comfortable.

    Speaking of which, nobody seems to have many stock options for the other calibers. I guess 22lr is so popular they can afford to have a heap of different ones in stock. Do you generally have to order them in?
