[QUOTE="mrb1982, post: 884871, member: 50419"] I keep forgetting to answer the accuracy question. My buddy, who isn't super efficent of a shooter, but good enough, shoots 1 MOA with the absolute cheapest ammo he could find for the thing. He ended up with this gun because he was piddling around on gun runner auctions and threw in a bid at the very end and ended up winning it. Gets it home, action is bedded. Pretty nice gun, not a mark on it. Turns out that the screws for the front base mount were too long and left the mount kinda loose. We figure the guy who sold it had it bedded because he coudln't make it shoot and still couldn't make it shoot so he sold it. We tightened up the screws, and he bought some super cheap stuff, don't even remember what it was, and just shot it. 1 MOA was pretty good for the ammo he was using and the trigger that's in it. He is mostly a whitetail hunter though and I don't think he really wanted the gun in the first place but he won it and had no choice after that. He is finding that it is just a little more gun than I think he really wants to deal with. I figure with some reloads and a new trigger, I could probably milk a little more accuracy out of it and see how it shoots. Maybe turn it into a project, and if not, still probably be a descent weapon, who knows. Pretty hard to find a used gun in this sort of shape for a good used price so I thought maybe it wouldn't be a terrible route to go, who knows. [/QUOTE]
