[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2992211, member: 27307"] I was at the range with one other shooter. I took a break to let him set up. He started a target so I switched over to watch his group develop. Oh MY! A quick assessment using the 1" squares was approximately 4" on the first go round. He stared at that target for a couple of minutes then started another target. Same basic result. He pushed back so I walked over to see if there was anything I could help with. Brand spanky new Weatherby Back Country TI in 6.5 RPM. Nice Leupold scope, factory ammunition. We chatted a minute then I asked if I could handle the rifle to check a couple of things just in case. It didn't take long since the actions screws were ever so slightly loose. The scope mount needed a little attention also so I got my tools out of the truck and fixed what I saw as the problems. He set back up again and proceeded to shoot several 1" or less targets which seemed to please him. Mission accomplished. He let me handle and examine this rifle to satisfy my curiosity. I even shot a couple of groups (3 shot) which were slightly smaller than his. It took me a little juggling to get comfortable with a rifle lighter than I'm used to but it is a fine rifle in my opinion for being so light. The cartridge is a favorite of mine. Not cheap but a nice rifle in this lightweight category. :) [/QUOTE]
