[QUOTE="Goofycat, post: 343327, member: 6504"] The only bad reviews I have read (two) had something to do with "Jamming." They gave no explanation, but the only thing I could think of was that they reloaded some cases used on another rifle and didn't use a full-length die to resize the cases, or some such other problem related to improper reloading technique. I have never had anything jam in any rifle I have owned, and just haven't run across the problem, and I have been shooting for decades. I know if I had such a problem and it weren't associated with my reloading technique, I would certainly contact the company, and am sure they would handle the problem. Sub-minute of angle groups usually are reserved for bench resters with expensive actions and barrels, expensive reloading equipment, extreme attention to detail, good optics and good shooting technique. This level of accuracy with an out-of-the-box is rare.....or at least it has been in the past. I can get it with my .222 Remington 40-X, and not too bad with my Cooper .20 VarTarg, but the old .22-250 is getting long in the tooth, even though with a 1,000 rounds through the tube, it still groups MOA, and as far as I am concerned, it works for coke-bottle sized ground squirrels at 300 yards. These are the type of targets I am mostly used to, so Coyotes are no problem as long as they are stopped. Running ones? Forget it! [/QUOTE]
