JD: Oh yes he did! :eek:

He left a new-to-me Cooper Phoenix in 221FB, a box of Nosler brass, a box of Lapua brass, a set of Leupold 30mm rings base set, 1,000 40gr Varmageddon tipped boolits, and five pounds of A2200 powder. And to top it all off, there was also a Jard 10 oz Cooper trigger in the stocking. THAT should keep me busy for a while and out of trouble.

I'll post pics when the temp gets above freezing outside. :wink:

And a Happy New Year to you too there, JD, and the rest of the .20 caliber crowd here also. :D

I'm sorry Rick. At least he could have left a Nightforce to go with the rings. Dang! All kidding aside, that's awesome. I'll be wanting to hear a report & see pics. JD Southeast Teas

Pretty sure RIO has already been on the phone with his friends in Beaverton (Leupold).

On the Lock-Ease: If you have a NAPA Autoparts store nearby, the part number for what many of us use is 765-1384.

I always do the JB Bore paste/hot water method for the initial cleaning of any new rifle. I was under the impression that bench shooters swabbed their bores with Lock Ease on a patch to simulate a fouling shot instead of actually wasting a round.
