[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 2777370, member: 74061"] I think you should give up and sell me that rifle right away. It’s obviously a lemon. Seriously an ES of 35 isn’t that bad. I just ran the numbers in my ballistics calculator an SMK at 2740fps avg + or - 18fps (36ES) the drop difference at 800yds is only plus or minus 3“ drop. There must be another reason for your 3/4 MOA groups at 600 I don’t own a rifle that shoots as good as yours. If I did I wouldn’t burn the barrel up chasing better ES numbers. I’d save it for competition and hold my round count low to make it last as long as I could. [/QUOTE]
