| Have one and still trying to find a load it likes. So far around 1" 5-shot groups with the sierra 90 hp, H4831, is the best its done. |

| I got one when they first became available just for test purposes for a local gunshop. I was impressed!! Broke the barrel in same as I would a custom barrel and then proceeded to shoot groups using virgin brass loaded with 49.5 grains of VARGET and a 75 grain VMAX that were loaded for a Ruger #1 and was amazed!! Under 1/2 inch groups! The rifle was not purchased to be a varminter but would suffice nicely! It LOVES 53.1 grains of H4831sc and EITHER the 117 gr Sierra SBT or the 120 grain Hornady! It shoots 49.0 grains of IMR 4350 and either of the Sierra 117 or Horn 120 grain bullets equally as well! It's topped with a side focus 4.5-14 Nikon and is a cheap, accurate light enough to carry hunting rifle that performs! GHD

| shooting 3-shot groups today with RL-19 and the sierra 90, sub 1/2", and almost as good with IMR4350. Ill have to try some of the Sierra 117's, sounds like they shoot good! |
