Beautiful rifle! Is it also bedded? Keep track of where your bolt hold open round goes compared to the rest of your group. That can tell you a bunch about the rifle. Also if bedded, don't take it apart too often, and when you do put a little synthetic grease between the ferrel and the stock front metal. Once you take it fully apart, if bedded, it will take 30 or so rounds to settle back down. You can still do maintenance of the gas system without removing it from the stock, and still oil the op rod. Torque your gas cylinder plug to about 15 # and check it regularly. You are going to be one happy camper!!!!

Not bedded

The function test target is very promising
