Glad to hear your problem is a no problem. I`ve been playing with a .222 Rem. 14 in. barrel on a Contender lately and it going to cost me another $470. I was looking for a good 100 yrds. coyote gun to use from my hoe, so I put a 2X Leupold scope on it. BUT, when I put it on paper at 100 yrds. with a 4 in. circle for an aim point I put 4 bullets in .460 and with the 5 th, bullet the group was still under 2 ins. That barrel just have to have a 2 1/2 x 8 Vari Xlll EER scope on it. Now I`ve got a good 250 yrds. gun, don`t you hate it when things like that happen.
