That’s actually one of my pet peeves. It is so unprofessional when people use symbols for 1000’s (instead of a space) and round to three decimals.

Very beautiful rifle! Congratulations. I was almost going to write in revolt, why there is no cheek piece on that gorgeous rifle. Then I remembered you are one of those south paw's! :E Rofl: Can't wait to see it appear in a video of your next safari!
