[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1212204, member: 34818"] Shoot the rifle to see how accurate it is. If it is accurate enough for you out to 600 yards then keep it. If it sucks then either make a custom off the action or sell it altogether. Your idea of accurate will determine this as well. Some people want tiny little groups and others only care about having a group the size of the vitals of the animal or smaller. Since you are only doing out to 600 yards, you could also make it easy and get a scope with a ballistic reticle out to 600. That way, you wouldn't have to dial. Don't get too wrapped up in how small of groups the rifle shoots. How well the rifle shoots is very important don't get me wrong but I believe the most important part of shooting is getting the bullet to go where you want it to. I see people all the time bragging about how their gun shot this tiny group at 800 yards and you look at the target that they were shooting at and the group is like 15" or more from where they were aiming at. If you shoot the gun and find out that it is accurate enough for you then put a brake on it and practice, practice, practice! And again...don't get me wrong. Trying to squeeze out the most accuracy out of a rifle that you can by reloading, practicing, etc is really fun and addicting but I don't think that is what you are after with this rifle. [/QUOTE]
