Pretty gun. I always do accuracy checks with Sierra Matchkings. You don't want to hunt with them. But, they fly well enough to kinda take the bullet out of the equation. Fire some fouling shots. Since it's a sporter barrel, it's probably gonna string some as it heats up. Let the barrel cool between shots. When you're shooting game, it's gonna be a cold bore shot anyway. 

You probably already knew all this stuff. Just some reminders. :) I do have a couple of bolt guns with sporter barrels, and had to watch the heat as I was sighting them in.

Beautiful rifle! We're it me, I'd chuck the big a$$ scope, rings, and bipod, and go for low rings, and a compact Leupold scope.

I friggin' love that rifle!

Lower rings for sure. It's a lot of scope for that rifle. I tend to go a little higher on magnification myself, and have a 4-12 Leupold on my Browning .243. That Nightforce is exceptional glass, and will most likely work past the limits of the gun. Nothing wrong with that if the weight tradeoff is worth it.

RE lower rings, Here's my Browning. The scope isn't touching the barrel. Just looks like it at that angle.

I've never really been a huge bolt action guy but that is beautiful. You owe us better pictures though. The back of your International doesn't have the best lighting. :)

Hard to capture something like Chuck's gun without TGO David level gun porn skills
