I bought this rifle for a bear hunt, but ended up taking another gun. I don't think it's had more than 10 rounds through it other than the break-in I had McWhorter do. McWhorter is one of the best smith's in the business for hunting rifles. All their guns are guaranteed to shoot lights out. I don't have an exact weight on it, but I'll try to post it soon. It's VERY lightweight. The VIAS style brake tames the recoil very well. It's very pleasant to shoot. The gun has a few very minor scratches on the Atlas rail and various places from handling, but it's basically a new gun. Nothing major to point out.
I put Marine-Tex on the stock for added grip. I was planning on taking this gun to Alaska and it's always wet there, so I wanted some extra traction on it. I think it turned out great. I was going to have the entire rifle painted one solid color, but ended up leaving it as I like the color contrast. If you wanted to paint it, it would look like a factory job similar to a Tac-Ops build. I wasn't ever planning on selling the rifle, but hopefully everyone will like it.
I can't seem to locate the test target, but I've never seen a McWhorter than doesn't shoot lights out.
It was shooting well under 1/2 MOA with hunting loads from what I recall. Below is the email from McWhorter.
