Yes will do mate, once I put some rounds through I will give a brief write up.

This crossed my mind as well, 4.5x might be a little high but I'll see how I go. The .22 Mag has a 4-16x on it and I find the 4x magnification fine for walking around with. If worse come to worse, I can sell the 4.5-14x and get the 3.5-10x down the track.

HA! I'm not a big unit - I think a 3006 would destroy my shoulder
It'll shoot the fleas off a dog's back at five hundred yards, Tannen, and it's pointed straight at your head!
