The gun shoots very good. Out of 5 different factory loads it shoots Norma 150gr SP to 3/8" at 100yds. The worst group was 1 1/4" with RWS 162gr. I have only just started to experiment with handloads but the groups are 5/8" to 3/4" with 140gr Nosler Partitions.

Certainly not benchrest performance but pretty darn good with off the shelf ammmo. Thats why I chose the McGowen barrel. Every one that I have owned has been accurate and the staff has gone out of their way to accomidate my requests.

Nothing wrong with that.

I'm Lutheran..we keep everything intact..

Duane, as a Lutheran pastor, if I ever take a sabbatical, can I come and apprentice under you?

Thanks for posting the photo's, very classy. The bottom metal pics went straight to my collection. I'm using the round bottom on my current project and going real slow. I think Duane nailed it pretty good. I like this approach better than the scholarship rifle.
