Thanks

Thanks for the information Kurt - very nice target! I've got a 50 with the 36 twist coming next year. I had one with the 22 twist and while I've never had a problem with recoil I found it just wasn't getting shot as much as it should. Do you shoot yours a lot?

Yes Ward it was my go to rifle for the Gong shoots for several years because it shot so well. And when the Nebraska and Montana wind kicks up at the gong shoots the .50 gets used.
The last two years I mostly shoot the .44's but when I head to the range the .50 comes along and gets shot but not as much as it used to.
