Thank you all for the response.
I am really digging this rifle, just some stuff I need to learn, as well as some things I need to re-learn. It has probably been 35 years since I have shot a "real" rifle. In recent years it has just been my 4095 and my Rossi .22. But I learned on a Savage .243, graduating up to 30-30's and a 30.06 (which is probably why I don't like bolt actions; that thing beat my ass. Though it did teach me the value of getting a good cheek/shoulder weld).
Ajole, it is the Sport model.
What about linear compensators/sound mitigation devices as an alternative to a suppressor? Or are they just gimmicks? I know they don't actually reduce the noise, just push it in a different direction. But I don't particularly care if my target goes deaf. But do they actually work?
As for the bounce, I think I will work on adjusting myself to it before I start trying to modify the rifle.
