Awesome, looks like a very fine weapon. I missed one thing, maybe I just don't know my terminology. I noticed it said the bolt was gas operated, rotating. Does that means this firearm has the ability to fire in bursts or automatic?

I'm guessing you have the clearance to own such a weapon, being a man of your credentials and experience.

anyway, grats again!

Nope. That is just the standard bolt. Here is also the pic I am posting.

I can't wait to take her out and get her zeroed.

She wasn't too keen on it until she saw it. Now she keeps wanting me to shoot it off.

Admit it Tim. You got an alter dedicated to me where you pay homage. You don't have to be ashamed. You wouldn't be the first.

If you posted a photo of you in full SWAT gear on the way to, or at the site of, serving a warrant or whatnot, I probably would. :P
