[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 815916, member: 39801"] Thought I would post a very preliminary review of my new rifle: Pierce action 338LM Eliseo tactical chassis CIP Benchmark 28" 9.2:1 twist Jewell trigger APA Fat Bastard brake GG&G heavy duty QD bipod Nightforce 5.5-22x56 MOAR TPS Rings (medium) Shot 6 rounds for sight in, and loaded up an OAL ladder test for 3 bullets: 300 gr Lapua Scenars 300 gr Berger OTMs 300 gr SMKs Tonight I shot the first 2 lengths of the Scenars. Two 3-shot groups at 100 yds for each OAL: 80 thou off lands - averaged .65" 40 thou off lands - averaged .20" I still have to shoot the set that are seated to be touching the lands, as well as all three lengths of the SMKs and OTMs. But, the .08" group shot with the Scenars leads me to believe this rig has potential. I'm certainly not ready to declare this a .25MOA shooter, but I am hopeful! As far as construction, the fit and finish of the chassis is fantastic and the Pierce action is silky smooth. I've never had a tube gun before, but the range of adjustment is really nice. Overall, I couldn't be happier. I'll let you know when I get some more groups through it, and when I can stretch it out a bit.... [/QUOTE]
