My UPS shipments entered the U. S. in Kentucky. I agree that any fairly small item will not get a plane ride on it's own, it will be consolidated and minimizing cost overall will be the goal, not the cost for shipping your item.
Well, it finally showed up yesterday afternoon. It's a beautiful gun. A little heavier than I expected. I love how it's just three bolts to remove the action/barrel from the stock. I'm still getting the sights dialed in, and I may actually add a little more weight to the trigger pull, as it's set to about a hair right now.
Well, I guess a dimes a dime, even if it’s not in the center. The weather has been nasty and I don’t have a way to bench and sight in indoors, so trying to get it close offhand
I think I still need to tweak some of the adjustable bits. It’s much heavier than the 853….
