[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 44895, member: 25"] Express, You might find that the rifle demands uniform holding, I find that my HS and siimilar rifles shoot tightest groups with a very firm, consistent hold into the shoulder. I liken it to staying in charge, don't let the sucker recoil in varying degrees and motions. Change that tension and your round is likely to fly out. You will never get easy, smooth feeding from a full mag, that is just the nature of a straight stack mag. They do feed consistently tho. HS made some changes to their trigger design a couple of years ago and it is a reliable unit. Not sure you would gain much by switching it out. Try to get your hands on some Varget or 4064, might not be easy in Europe (?) but those powders excell in the .308 Win. Your observation about getting the shot away quickly is right-on, the longer we take the more likely our hold will change, eyeballs will go out of sharp focus, mind will lose its concentration etc. Sounds like you have a good shooting rifle, I would not try to micro-manage it too much, just pull the trigger and get real familiar with it. Sooner you get it out on your long-range setup the better - 100 yards is just for getting ready to really shoot that rig. [/QUOTE]
