[QUOTE="CNY Yote Hunter, post: 2737217, member: 109650"] Just got to the range today with it, work life takes all my time and weather has not been cooperating. Overall I had some issues with the cycling but believe the plastic mag is the issue. It won’t pick up a round out of the mag pretty regularly, to the point I had to smack the mag almost every time to get a round to feed. Feeding was silky smooth Id say for 3 out of 5 rounds but every now and again it would bind and you have to pull back on the bolt a touch then continue forward again. I did not see any burr marks on any of the brass or projectiles if I fully ejected so the bolt is more than likely causing it. I’m sure from reading about the same issues, this will not be an issue after some usage and if it is it will be going in which I dread. Trigger is really nice, it breaks clean and just feels good. So to the part everyone cares about, this rifle shot really really well today and this is the first outing, 1st load I have tried. I used this same load in a Ruger American Predator I just sold that really shot it well. This rifle is no different, consistently shoots 1/2- 3/4 moa when the guy behind the trigger does his part. Load used… Lapua Brass- new CCI 450 primers H4350- 42.0 Barnes- 80 grain ttsx COAL 2.620 CBTO 2.145 I’m super happy with accuracy, will try some other loads, have some 95 Berger’s I will be trying next but honestly have no reason to change this right now. Pic is a 5 shot group, all groups were like this give or take. Rifle did not shoot over 3/4 moa and the groups that did shoot 3/4 were due to me I’m sure!! Overall very accurate rifle….. forgot to add, this was at 100 yards. Have not taken it out further yet. Just had enough time for this so far! [/QUOTE]
