Rounds just showed up at my door today. Now if the Rock River would just get my gun built.

S-weet. If the gun misfires, you can pull out a round and just throw it at the deer.:D

If you don't plan on reloading, get used to counting in your head, every time you pull the trigger, $3, $6, $9, $12, $15, $18, $21... Kinda took the fun out of it for me.

But it got me into reloading in a hurry. My .458 is now my favorite gun to shoot.

My mid-length .458 was a jam-o-matic when I got it. RRA supplied the upper with 2 different recoil springs. The thing wouldn't reliably cycle with either. Installed a standard 5.56 spring, much better. The chambers on RRAs are also notoriously tight which doesn't help. Several hundred rounds through mine now and the only problem I still have is that occasionally the bolt doesn't lock back on an empty mag.

Tried it out today and it was ok. Very easy to sight in. I don't have a lot of experience with scopes, so at 50yards at 6x magnification I was shakey as hell but It only took a couple of shots to sight in. The eye relief was sufficient. I did realize my stomach is a bit to big to comfortably shoot prone. Time to loose weight. It was about 20 degrees this morning so I didn't spend any time focusing the lens. I didn't take any pics because we were just shooting paper. I put subs and supers through it today and it was nice. Compared to the weight of the gun I didn't even notice the suppressor was on it. The thing with the hybrid is to keep checking it to see if something comes loose if you fire alot of shots. Afterwards it stuck to my 300BO flash hider, which is a common issue for the Silencerco ASR mount. It happened to my son's Specwar last week
