[QUOTE="JMHNL, post: 1424042, member: 89971"] Went to the range yesterday and broke the barrel in on the new #1. After getting on paper/cleaning barrel for first 5 shots, I shot 3 groups of 3-4 bullets, and was pleased with initial results considering all of the conflicting info I can find on how these guns shoot. The key seems to be a very cool barrel. All 3 groups were in the 1" range, but some vertical stringing was evident with the last shots in each group. Seems this is quite common (according to the internet). The stock trigger is pretty rough as well (at least 6lbs maybe moreo_O), have a 2.5lb aftermarket unit in the mail for installation. Also have a device known as the "Hicks Accurizer" coming, not sure if I'll install this just yet though. [URL]https://www.eabco.net/Hicks-1-Accurizer_p_13340.html[/URL] At the end of the day, for hunting to max 350yds, small deer and 1-2 shots in a cold barrel, which is the intended purpose of this rifle, I think it should work really well.
