I understand you saying you might have paid too much. We do that when the opportunity arrives for something we have sought for. I have made the mistake of waiting for a lesser price and never found it and what was available gets bought. Enjoy your rifle.
Well, If I have read correctly the removal of suppressors from the 1934 firearms act survived the senate version of the BBB and was passed. Now back to the house. If it survives there, then that $200 tax will be removed. Hope it is.
Nice rifle and great that it is one you learned to shoot with. Hopefully after a good cleaning and trying different brands of ammo you will find one that groups a little better. Still a fun looking range toy.
Two years ago, I had Douglas to re-barrel a Remington 700 with one of their XX premium stainless barrels. I live about 2 hrs. away and wanted to see the place for myself, so I took it to them. Got the grand tour of manufacturing a barrel from raw stock to finished product. Cost of their barrel...

I head a hundred times the same story from a departed friend of his experience using the old Nosler solid base boat tail lead tipped bullet in his 6mm Rem claiming it poked a hole straight through a deer with minimal damage and after along tracking job with additional shots required to finish...
