Thanks guys. sorry about the "hit and run" post, but I had to go away on a damn hunting trip. I promise I won't do it again. :wink:..... HWD, Thanks. It's good to see that I'm not alone when it comes to the grips on this gun. I put in my order for the ruber grips today.......Uglydog, Yes I made the mistake of trying a monopod. What the hell was I thinking? :roll: I'm looking into either a bi-pod or just using my back pack as a rest. But either way I've yet to get out and shoot it some more. I got the opportunity to handle a striker and it is better balanced, but I'd like to shoot one 1st in order to make a decision. I'll probably just end up buying the gun and see how I like it. It's kind of a habit of mine. :wink: Thanks........Anyone have any recommendations for a bi-pod? Things to look out for?

Thanks dog, that's exactly what I was looking for. I'll keep it in mind during my search. 
I also thought of using a pair of tent poles myself, but thought I might look a little "retarded" to some of the guys so I bailed on that one. Maybe I'll try it while shooting alone and see how it works out? :lol: Where are you hunting? I was in Adams/Marquette for the opener. Saw an unusual abundance of average/less than average bucks being taken. Lots of small does too. I didn't get a shot but my buddy managed to take a 5 pointer. It was the very first deer I've seen taken with a .223. About a 100 yard shot and it fell 50-60 yards later. No trail to follow, but the bullet appeared to do some pretty good damage considering the small caliber/weight. Small rack but was a nice sized deer. Family and dogs alike are eating good this week! ........... Might go back for the muzzleloader and spring turkey. I love the area, but dislike the whole pumpkin patch thing. Too many people too close for my liking. Muzzleloader should be more relaxed. Well thanks once again. Good luck on your hunt. 8)
