05Rav, there is nowhere on Gun Gear's website that says if the product is actually on hand, it just says they will happily sell you one if you order from them. Lots of stores like that around. Haven't even rec'd the acknowledgement of the order. yet, (FRAUD ALERT) sent the loot on the 21st. Waiting for a callback from Gun Gear at present, see what he says. may be an order glitch on his end, may not be. With shipping, it is the same price as Cabela's anyhow, may cancel, if he doesn't have any, and wait to see if I ever get the tall stanag mount from Amazon.
Anyway, got out with it on some gophers yesterday, too slow on a chance at a yote, think he was chasing the Roadrunner, didn't spot him til too late. In range, but, skylined and motoring. Got some gophers, hard to spot, low in the hole head shots.
Scope sight-in consisted of 4-5 shots to bring it up from 2" low, dead centre, and a 5 shot group to confirm. No fuss , no muss there, liked that a lot.
Leaper's 3-12x44 w/mildot, illuminated reticle (36 colours, too!!), worked well, heavy li'l sucker though. Gun is over 11lbs now, have to rig up a sling for sure. I have two 1885's that are lighter than that, one with a 6.5-20 Leupold on it, other with a 4.5-14 Zeiss.
Twer a fun day out, everything worked like it was supposed to
