[QUOTE="budlight, post: 3081381, member: 2939"] This is a super accurate 20 in SS barrel light weight because of the .625 inch gas block size. 1:9 twist rate and most accurate load is 27.4 grains of CFE 223 to right at 3100 fps with 62 grain HPBT. I found the tightest groups under loading compared to 3200 fps. All the same Lake city brass and Remington Bench Rest primers. Pre Plandemic I could buy the bulk 5000 or 10,000 boxes of these match 62 grain bullets for about 10 cents each. Using a lead sled rifle rest I have made some 5 shot groups of under quarter size at 200 yards. This is my ground squirrel gun. Titanium muzzle brake and 2.5 pound single stage trigger. I don't have it at this house so I can't tell you the MFG of the match grade barrel. but I think that scope is one of usual 8X32 power to take one squirrels and prarrie poodles way out there. Do not buy 1:7 twist in 20 inch and longer barrels it causes 55 grain bullets to fly sideways through paper even at 50 yards.
