I couldn't stand it and had to take the new gun to the range.

Ended up shooting 21 shots- Winchester Safari Grade Ammo - 500 gr partitions and solids.

Got it sighted in and then shot 4 groups. The trigger is heavy, and I will adjust that no problem. Have no idea if it would affect things at 50 yards, but we had a 20-25 mph left to right crosswind.

Anyway, here were my four - 3 shot groups at 50.
The scope held up fine for 21 shots, and responded perfectly to all adjustments.

I think when I adjust the trigger and no wind, I can do a little better, but I am pretty pleased.

You definitely know you shot the gun...reminds me of a 3 1/2" 12 gauge with heavy turkey loads.

Nice groups...

Looks like your well on the way to go forth and kill things Clint

Nice! I hope my Lott groups as well as that with the old factory .458 WM loads I have.

Is that a custom rifle? I haven't seen any 458 Win Mags on Thompson's site.

Yes, it is from the TC custom shop...
