    I came out to my range after supper and sighted it in.
    Just shooting my 55gr SP load that I took on the prairie dog hunt

    This gun is gonna be fun to shoot
    Light recoil for the size and weight, .. I was surprised
    It grouped well enough just off of sand bags
    It is going to do well I think

    I made an attempt to break the barrel in
    Cleaning after 5 shots and letting it cool good in between shots
    Also, the pillar mounting system on this rifle is solid
    I immediately took the trigger adjustment down to the minimum 3lbs as well
    It looks like its gonna be a1 MOA gun to me.
    That's all I wanted really, not going to touch it other than play with some 52 gr bullets maybe

    You should be able to shoot .5 MOA with that rifle and reloads. If 1/8 twist, try some heavier bullets up to 75 grs.

    I think so too. I used reloads that I had loaded for my Savage bolt gun in the Ruger and it shot pretty well.
    I think I might play with some lighter and heavier bullets and see what it can do, but as long as I'm within an inch@100 this rifle will do what I want it to do

    Hey VMAX... just checking in on this rifle man. Been eyeing one... looking for a good coyote gun for my boy to grow into. Any updates? Pros or cons?

    Thanks man.
    I love it. It has smoked several pigs because it fits in the truck so well we end of keeping it with us.
    It’s small enough to handle inside the cab of the truck and its just handy.
    Mine shoots great with everything I run through it.
    Highly recommend

    Excellent. I have a Nikon Active Target scope sitting in the closet needing a host.

    Thank you sir for the feedback.
