I have nothing to put it on, but if I "need" one, I'll "need" a new rifle too.
 
I'll be expecting a full report then.   Cool

If I take one home, I'll post a report.
 
At the moment, I have nothing to mount it on. 
 
Maybe I should start a poll: "What rifle should Rancid Coolaid buy to go under his new 10X HD?"

.338 lapua in a sako of course.
They call me "Boots"
375H&H Mag: Yeah, it kills stuff "extra dead"

343 we will never forget

I see the R5 and I have one, but what I want to see is the 10x HD.

In truth, I have no use for a .338 Lapua.  Yea, it'd be "bigger" than anyone else's on the range, but I got over that long, long ago.
 
 
Maybe Chris will make a deal: 5R with 10X HD, I'd be game for that!
 
Wes, I'll take a picture or 2 for ya.  It'll have to wait till Wednesday, I got birds to kill on Tuesday.
 
Chris, whad'ya say: 5R with 10X HD, Badger 20MOA base and Badger max rings?  Gimme a nyumber!

The 5Rs were bought for us to package with HDs and sell, we are going with TPS though instead of Badger.  Mike McDonald is going to break them in professionally, sight them in and provide targets of what they can do...after that they go on GunBroker.com to the highest bidder.  They'll be shipped in custom fitted Storm cases of course.

Everything is for sale for cash.
 
 
Chris, I was halfway joking about the 5R, no worries.
 
Ted, thanx for looking out for me.  It'd be more valuable to me if you could write the wife and tell her why I "need" another riifle - for the scope I have not yet purchased.
 
Chris, let us know when the HDs arrive.  I'll be headed south on Wednesday and can come by and get one - saves me the freight and gives you the great opprotuntiy to experience my bubbly personality in person yet again.
