I'm with you �� Wasn't planning on buying anything else pricey this year ($2500 all in) and this came up and I had to. Looks so sleek and it's everything I'm after, a caliber I have lots of, scoped from the factory and a semi-auto! Had to get one before they get sold out like the other T81s that lasted what 48H ? Plus it's the best one for me as the other ones are difficult to scope ..
For a bipod btw I think you'd have to drill into the front handguard as there doesn't seem to be a swing swivel there you could use to mount one on. I'm going to leave mine stock, the ad mentions the long flat handguard is to help stabilizing it on a surface.
Yeah, I'm thinking a shooting bag is the best option. I hate the barrel clamp-on ones. Plus, extra weight.
I made the mistake of waiting a few days for the T81s... Yeah, not so much this time.
