No one reads anymore

I did read it, however, those hits can be mostly attributed to your skill as a shooter and reloader.

and usually when someone asks, on this forum, "how's it shoot," the normal response is, " 3/4 moa with factory or in the .2s and .3s with my awesome handloads." Orrr a picture of some of the load work up.

The next day I headed out to my mid range spot, starting at 100 yards, shooting 3 shot groups.

Clean/cold to begin.....

100 yds - 1 1/4"

200yds - 1 1/2"

300yds - 1 5/8"

400yds - bust (I was testing 142 SMK's also & the 6 shots all lumped together)

500yds - 3 1/2"

600yds - 3 7/8"


500 & 600 yards targets:

One more test, just for the hell-of-it.......

Went out my closer spot, and shot 3 shot groups at 100-200-300-400.

Groups size was affected mostly due to the right to left wind & mirage.

100 - 3/4" (clean/cold)

200 - 1 1/4" (1st 2 touching)

300 - 1 1/2" (2 into 5/8")

400 - 3 1/4" (5 shot group- 2 leaked left missing wind pickup)

I had previously mounted the 2.5-10x42 Nightforce in lapped Seekins rings, and removed that scope to replace it with the 5.5-22 NF for load work. Decide it was a good time to switch them out and get the 10X sighted in.

Only took a couple minutes for that, then had to move the target back to 50. Quick peek down the bore to get it bore sighted, one shot at 50, dial the scope, move to 100, and shoot 3. Wow.......450" group, 3 quarters of an inch high.

Moved the target to 200......1 5/8"

Moved it to 300......2 1/2"

Moved to 400......perfect triangle at 2 5/8"....a touch high.

So I moved the scope two clicks down, and shot again......

First 2 shots dead center an inch apart, but lost the third 4" to the left again.....oh well......done and zeroed.

Set the zero stop and called it a day.

I thought the accuracy was well documented, but I reposted what was in the link. Sorry I couldn't post pics of targets to prove it, but I measure groups, and reuse the targets again several times over.

I have decided to sell the complete gun, minus the scope, rings, and base, so I have edited the original ad to reflect the changes, and added these pics.

I still have left the option to buy just the barreled action.
