    Keeping well in mind the Professionals and Offroads are the entry level stocks. The "Bargain Blasers"

    LR what scope did you have troubles with? A Premier?

    I ended up pushing the NF a bit further forward in the rings because I scoped myself at the gong shoot...
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    No matter which one you get, they are a shot load easier to clean!

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Forgot to take photo while ago sorry
    Here is the r8 vs r93 bolt heads



    Weight of the 2 of the ones the I have are
    2087grams r8
    1942grams r93

    That's rifle with no barrels in them, going the r93 way there is going to be more and more aftermarket parts soon either that or cheaper and cheaper r93s
