    I've seen a couple of those - I'm familiar with the press, but I don't have any firsthand experience with it. I think it would be a great press to move to and I'd probably be happy with it, but I...

    I've fired this rifle before when my Dad was still alive - that was back in the mid 90s and probably the last time it has been shot. As I recall, it's a good shooter, and the bore is in great shape....
