Both the gun and the lift are gone, either sold or traded. Like a lot of things I buy for the farm, I do a pretty thorough buy/rent analysis before I commit. The lift paid for itself a few times over when we first bought the farm but it was beginning to sit, so I sold it to a friend of mine.
Another buddy liked the BM Varminter more than I did (he is really good with it, I was average) so we traded a few things around, both happy.
Scope is available
I roughly measured my longest kill at 400yds. It took three shots. The ground hog never even looked my way. Not bad for box ammo
To the OP, try and fit the scope to your rifle before you buy (hard, I know but your buds probably have a scope they recommend that you can borrow)...I have found that my most effective eye position on the rifle using iron sights drives my comfort with scopes. I know that sounds like a huge "duh" but if it is your first scope please give it a try.
