I finally took it out to the range the other day for some sight in shots at 25 yards. Once I got on target my first group was 1 1/4 inch center to center for five rounds off the bench. My next 3 round group came in at 3/4 inch center to center with two touching and the third round about 1/4 inch right. I shot these off sand bags on the bench. Load is Hornady brass, Win LR primer, Barnes 175gr TSX and 47.5 grains of 4064. MV of about 2630fps. 25 yards is not much of a test but I sight all my rifles in at 25 first time out to shake them out. Next time it will be 100 yards now that I know what it can do. I go 2 to 3 inches high at 100 for final setting.
I loaded up some 150gr Nosler BTs and will see what they do at 100. These are some bulk packs from Midway. It doesn't tell what they are so I went on line to different manufactures until I found one that matches. Nosler green ballistic tip boattail.
Rifle handles beautifully. I did have a problem with it not picking up a round from the magazine occasionally but it smoothed out after a few rounds and ran fine. I think it was just a little tight and needed some working to loosen up. Action is tight and needs rounds downrange to limber up. It throws brass straight to the right for about 6 feet or more on ejection.
As soon as I can corral my daughter, I'll have her help me post some pix. I have 3 years of trophy pix to post, too.
