[QUOTE="MT_Swagger, post: 1600521, member: 107857"] I got this rifle for Christmas a few years back. And I started reloading at the same time. Not really sure how well it would have shot when it was brand new. I was a beginning reloader, and I wouldn't say I was a good shot at the time. But this is how it shoots now with good loads. [ATTACH=full]127359[/ATTACH] H4831 with 145ELD-X [ATTACH=full]127361[/ATTACH] 5 rd groups at 100yards. 200 yard zero. The 1st thing I did after owning rifle for about a year was do a full betting the job. I must have watched several hours of YouTube and read everything I could find on glass bedding. This made a great improvement in the consistency and accuracy! Next was to install a Timney trigger. I cannot describe how much this helped to improve my groups. The following fall I took my 1st elk with the rifle at 420 yards. [ATTACH=full]127360[/ATTACH] This was back when I had the factory Nikko Stirling scope on it. Which by the way has probably 600 through it. Still a decent scope but I now have a 12x SWFA SS MOA-quad on the rifle and I really like that. This has been very intresting and I learned alot along the way. Now I'm working on my first custom rifle. Should have it back from the gunsmith any day now with a new break on it and the next journey begins. Happy hunting. [I]Casey. [/I] [ATTACH=full]127367[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
