Even worse, for my budget, there is a sweet Sako LH-action .270 at you-know-where. With iron sights that my eyes LIKE. Sigh. Really, I bought that LMT upper, and stainless match LMT barrel, from Primary Arms, and keep buying .223 77-grain OTM as fast as Midway’s rationing system will let me, so I should try to ignore that Sako.
OTOH, I seem to remember Col. Jeff Cooper writing that riflemen are always broke.
