[QUOTE="Thebear_78, post: 2620604, member: 1545"] The rifle is complete. I finalized on the Swarovski 3.5-18x44. It weights right at 6 pounds 5 oz. I’ve tried a few loads with 125gr hammers and re25. I got light ejector marks in the brass at 56.5gr for 3160fps. I backed down a half grain and got 3110fps, no pressure signs. I picked up a couple boxes of Hornady whitetail 117gr BTSP to get an initial zero with the z5. I was pretty impressed with how well it shot. The below 5 shot groups are with the 117gr Hornady at 100 and 300 yards. Anyone have any game experience with the Hornady 117btsp? [/QUOTE]
