Excelleron ST'd

[george kennie]

I've heard guys say that their's are 8.5 lbs, but mine is 9 lbs., 2 oz.
with a 120 FZ. I'd be willing to bet that Bob P's is probably about the
same, especially with the 2300.
Aaannnd............I would like it if mine had more punch. The vertical
is certainly not obscene!!!
