Went to check the free float on the barrel. Slid a $1 bill in (no $20's laying around for this job, tough year 
) and started up the barrel. It was clean and free all the way to the action. But what is this?!? The barrel channel is definitely offset to one side. I mean, not just a little. It's quite noticeable. I'm not thrilled about this. I don't think it will affect the guns performance at all, since it is still free floated.
But dang, we were off to such a good start. It's like getting towards the end of a great first date and only then finding out that she doesn't think Die Hard is a Christmas movie. 
On that note, I'll leave the scope and rings for my next series of posts. Maybe I can find more common ground with her, overlook her offset barrel, and see fit to have a second date.
Yes, please swap those rings
