[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3700073, member: 35036"] So I took it out yesterday for the first time. I really like the XS ghost sights. The aperture feels a little big, but for quick shots on pigs and deer within 75 yards, it should do the trick. At 50 yards I was sitting at 2” groups using plain ol federal JSP 158gr factory ammo. I’m sure it will tighten up with some practice and getting a feel for the rifle. I’m tempted to shorten the length of pull down a bit, the sights and how the rifle runs feels better slightly closer to my center of my chest than in the pocket of my shoulder, kinda like how I shoot ARs and AKs. Took it out in the woods to see if I could score a deer, but sadly didn’t happen. It’s wonderful to carry and is fantastic stomping through tough brush though. I had two things that I didn’t like about it though. My thumbs are too fat to load ammo into the side gate without getting my thumb or nail snagged in there, and despite putting in the ranger point precision trigger, the trigger pull is incredibly heavy. No slop or creep, just an incredibly heavy brick wall. Im willing to bet we’re sitting at 9lbs or better, it’s heavier than shooting my N frame in double action before I smoothed everything up. any nifty tricks for loading the rifle, or anything I can do to make life easier? I already have a lightened gate on it. anything else I can do to reduce trigger pull weight? The RPP trigger is supposed to have dropped the pull down considerably, but that hasn’t happened. I’m sending them an email about it, but if they don’t do anything, what else can I do? [/QUOTE]
