[QUOTE="FindingWaldo, post: 1129838, member: 86355"] Nice review. Firstly, I have notice the quality control may be a bit low / lacking. But the gun fires well. My friend has the same model as you, and do I. With good reloading, your accuracy will be sub moa. Secondly, I've used several bullets. Hornday 285's, Barnes LRX 265's, and Accu bond. Used IMR 7285 and Rotumba ubiquitously. My First eye openers was with the accubond bullets. There was couple 3 touching groupings. I have since switched reloading to primarily Barnes LRX with Rotumbo. I have the 265 LRX with a 78.25 gr of Rotumbo. This is on the lighter side, but it has very managable recoil and good accuracy. I just took it out today to do some shooting (600 - 800 m). Took me 9 rounds to get it on the 600 m target. (there was a slight wind, and i am no master). Nailed that milk jug. Moved to 700 m. Took me about 5 - 6 shots before I realized one of two things were happening, my shooting is inadequate (and this is what i am presuming) or my powdered charge was off a couple of pellets (doing my reloading I usually just say, ohhh thats close enough. But its not exact.) Nonetheless, I realized after two shots missed bc of wind, adjusted. 3-5 bullets were just <2 inches from milk jug. Then followed up by 3 hits. Tried 800 m. But had no sandy back blast so couldn't see where my rounds were going. At the 700 m. The three hits on the jug (it was a sand filled jug so it didn't explode like water jugs. and are reusable. To my surprise.) were within 7 inches. Hence Sub-moa. Your scope is a great choice for the rifle. Mine, the bushnel 5 by 15x tactical is lacking power. But, to increase my down range turrents. I dropped my rifle on the scope (by accident, :( but still holds true! thank god) which bent the scope and so, I had to chimmey the front ring up with tap. I no have the max clicks for distance. I have photos of peel targets that illustrate golf ball sized groupings at 400 m. Again, with the LRX, very nice shotting. [/QUOTE]
