Is that what my problem is? Where are the rules for size? I've looked but haven't yet found them...hey! I'm old! If I click on it, it displays properly...go figure. Too Big?

Thanks!

Finally got to the range today and had the chance to put about 40 rounds through the new Golden boy! Nice, tight groups with CCI ammo!
My eyes do NOT like the open sights, though, I'll need a new prescription in order to see the rear sight. No big deal, I have a new scope and a new butt stock on the way. I'm going to fabricate a cheek comb on one of the stocks and keep the other original.
I found the trigger pull to be very crisp with no creep or looseness at all. A little on the heavy side, but Hey!...it was only 40 rounds...
It'll be much more fun when I can see the sights AND the target!

Stay healthy, everyone!

outstanding .... with tight groups and a smooth operation you certainly have a rifle you can work with

Photos that are in the 4:3 ratio display properly, but if you have one that is too far out of that ratio, like the one of your rifle (1024 x 279 - which is close to a 4:1 ratio), it will be squeezed by the forum software into a distorted perspective. Photos like that display best if the long edge is its height, rather than its width; which is why I rotated it on its side.

CT_Shooter, makes perfect sense now...aspect ratio...it's always the simple things that stump me!
