I just wish the magazine prices were cheaper. $38.00 for a plastic mag that holds 3 rounds is freaking nutzz!! I put a bipod on mine, cheek riser kit But stock shell holder and a nice big scope. Works great for poking yotes at loing distances.

Post by: bhylton on April 02, 2011, 08:48:17 AM: my long range is 600+ as well. but i can do it with a model 88 winchester in 308 and its trigger and inherit accuracy is no real prize. but you brink up a good point with the stock... the plastic stocks are sometimes a little... weak. is that the case with the venture? will it flex on me?

$38 bucks a little steep. i suggest you dont buy a browning a-bolt. mag for my 300wsm was $73
