Well that’s okay. Yeah, Barnes has some great stuff; and at decent prices. I’m getting their truss Sunday. I wanted to add some extra rigidity without having to succumb to the Iron Rock Off-road truss. Can’t stand how tall and (personally) bulky it looks.

Go with the Solid covers, cheaper and they have a better finish.
