To stay "on thread" as a .308 guy....Chief I'm setting this gun up as a hog kill'n machine!! The scope I'm most interested in is the 1X8....Leupold makes one but's just too expensive for me!! Trijicon has one that's more in my price line....might drop down to the 1X6....for the money....anyway that's where it's heading....with a 16' barrel it's not going to be much for extended ranges....the darn QD swivels cost me $80!!! every thing about this gun is expensive...as for Magazines....I had already bought 8-20 rounders as a preemptive move...then the gun came with 14 more....so, I'm pretty well set for magazines....BUT you are dead on, on the magazine comment...that will also be an easy target for them!!! I have, as a result, been buying any high capacity magazines that I have guns for...I have a case full of AR mags...as well as Ruger 30-rounders....any gun of mine that takes higher than 10 rounds....I have many extra magazines for!!!
These are some of the extra magazines...
