I think the silence is likely due to this being something that using this forum/it's members as a resource and searching backthreads can quickly answer for you...
Generally, when it's your first post and you expect folks to waste their time googling or rehasing well-covered topics for you, it's not the best first impression...
But congrats on your new rifle, and welcome. After due diligence/searching, if you still have questions, post back.
