[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 562358, member: 25383"] I borrowed the rifle about a week ago, and mounted a cheapo BSA 6x-24x scope on the rail with Burris rings. Had it zeroed in in ten shots (my standard 1.5" high at 100 yards) The rifle is shooting consistent sixes with hand loads built for my 700VS (26.6 grains of BLC2 under a Hornaday 55 grain Vmax in Winchester cases). I shot close to a hundred rounds thru it without a malfunction, and cleaned the barrel after five shots forthe first thirty rounds. The barrel cleans very easilly, but think the crown needs to be lapped one more time. I think with a flat bottomed forend (it came with the metal round one), and some better load development this gun could be a solid half inch gun out of the box. It seems to shoot better than my Bushmaster HBAR, but to be fair the Bushmaster has never had any load work done with it either. The onlything I ever had to do with an Olympic fire arm was with their High Standard clones several years ago, and they truely didn't shoot well. gary [/QUOTE]
