[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 781633, member: 25383"] interesting post! I think it was John Sundra that tested a 112V in 22-250 (maybe 25-06) about 35 years ago in Shooting Times magazine. He said it was probably the most accurate varmit rifle he'd ever shot right out of the box and unmodified. (seems like he was shooting 5/16" groups).
