Get a spray can of avocado oil at Wal Mart. Spray the skin on the turkey every 30 minute or every hour while it cooks. It will help the skin achieve a good texture. Works on chickens and other things, too.
Make sure the barrel is tight, not just snug. I don't use a torque wrench on barrels, but if I did, it would be in 80 to 100 ft lb range.
Is it bedded in the stock?
Bartlein trued the action?
Check Sierra Trading Post for Asolo Fugitives. I think i have seen them on their site.
You might try Lowa Camino's, too. I have the leather lined and really like them.
Redwing, Timberland, Ariat, and Blundstones. I think the Blundstones are the most comfortable to my feet. The Ariats and Timberlands are tied for 2nd. The Ariats win on price.
I don't get along with the Redwings as well for some reason, and they were the most expensive and best looking of...

The tradeoff, at least on my two, is the flat coated one doesn't have...
I reload Remington STS. I have reloaded Win AA but don't mess with them anymore. Fed HOA are the same hulls as STS but a different color. They don't use the same factory shot, though. I don't like them as much as a factory load but they reload the same as STS.
I have reloaded Federal Top...
