[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2219355, member: 94491"] I have the 300wsm model as soon as it hit the streets (Nov last year) --- My thoughts/ opnion I was hoping for more. It's heavy, the renegade stock is stout, no flexing, but heavy. It's accuracy is meh to me. Will ot do under moa? Yes. Is it "inherently accurate"? Not so much. I've only tried it with factory norma bondstrike ammo ( as I'm a handloader and was wanting the Brass but hoping for accurate factory ammo) -- it shoots just under moa with this ammo but has fliers, this is most likely due to the large es of this ammo so can't blame the gun. As far as reloading, I've tried the 215 burgers with rl23 and 26 and I'm getting around 3/4 moa, have yet to fine tune the load but I doubt I could tighten it up a whole lot more. Working with some 166hh and 178 ah bullets to see how it does-- but haven't gotten into groups yet as I'm still testing for pressure. I won't totally discount its accuracy yet as I've only tried a few combos, but I'm guessing the best I'll get will be between 1/2to 3/4 moa-- not too shabby but doesn't hit the .35 moa that my bone stock xbolt lr will do (and it's lighter) I tried to put a lighter trigger spring in the xpr as the description says it has the m.o.a. trigger-- but it's different than prior moa triggers and you can't get to the spring. Lowest I can get the pull weight is 4.3 pounds ( info says it will go down to 3.5) The bolt action isn't near as smooth as my Xbolt, I thought it would be with the Teflon coated fluted bolt but it's not. The det. mag is shorter than I'd like, but I notched it to allow loading 2 rounds longer . All in all, it's a decent rifle for the price, but I had better luck with my xbolt lr rifle [/QUOTE]
