[QUOTE="the444shooter, post: 546452, member: 46"] Got this a while ago, and went to shoot it for the first time last night. She's a winner! I don't know the exact barrel twist, so I grabbed a box of Nosler Trophy 140gr Accubond load and figured it'd be fine no matter what twist. As an added bonus, my Rapid Z 800 yard reticle matches the 140gr load precisely at 1" high at 100, all the way out to 800yds on 13x magnification. Specs: Steyr MIII professional action 26" custom bbl--manufacturer unknown (possibly Shilen) double triggers (you can almost breathe on the trigger and it will go off after it's set) Looks like I have my "walking around" rifle! squares are 2", so it is a sub moa shooter with factory loads--the two holes off to the right in the bottom pic were sighters before I adjusted and stacked the other 3 on top. We'll hafta see how it does with 154gr-168gr loads. [/QUOTE]
