[QUOTE="jarheadhunter, post: 2433518, member: 65031"] Bought a 110 UL in 6.5CM about a year ago. First impression was it was light. The stock is pretty flimsy, but works. The action is by far the worst i have ever cycled. I hope it gets better with use. I glass bedded the flimsy stock before I even had a scope for it. After I bedded it the rifle sat in my safe for almost a year. Just picked up a Leupold VX3 HD 4.5-15x50 and put in on with a 20 MOA rail (too big) and Warne rings. With everything it weighs 8 lbs 6 oz on my scale. Figured out where to load my rounds to at 20k off the lands. Started at 39.5 gr of H4350 and went up to max of 41.5 In 1/2 gr increments. I used the wheeler bore sighter and could tell the 20 MOA rail was too tall. Bottomed it out and still 7-8” high. I test fired a shot and besides being high I was right where I wanted to be. I just rolled with it until I can find a 10 MOA rail. It was cold and a little windy when we started. My first group at my lowest charge blew my mind. Shot 5 shots and with my one flyer probably me or the wind .56” The 4 shot group was .23”. After that it started opening up pretty good until I hit my max charge and I had three shots touching again and two touching to the side of them. I wasn’t showing any pressure signs so I might try a little higher charge and see if I can pick up some speed. If not I will stick with my first at 39.5gr. Accuracy wins over speed in my book. Overall after seeing how it shoots I am happy with the purchase. [/QUOTE]
