Kelly-

What kind of rifle is that? Looks sort of like a Sako, but not. I haven't kept up with their later models. The scope looks pretty big for the rifle. Do you do a lot of varmnt hunting with it? I can see why you might favor the caliber over the 6mm's, if you shoot many coyotes. But it seems overkill on most smaller vermin.
