You paid too much. For seven months, Bass Pro Shop ran the Black Diamond XR camo for $199. Once you find the proper load combo, you'll shoot just as well as your buddy's Traditions. Plus, your warranty is "full transferable lifetime". You don't need a store receipt or barrel serial number to replace a part you abused 15 years from now. You can sell that rifle to three different people.... the 3rd guy gets to continue the lifetime warranty with no receipts or serial numbersd needed. You won't find anything close to that with Traditions warranty... believe me... I own three Tradition guns. You also get better resale value than Traditions -- plus confidence knowing your American steel on that barrel has been tested to double the pressures of Spanish barrels on your buddy's Traditions.
