[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2822474, member: 15054"] WOW! That is what I was like when I fired this inexpensive gun. OK numbers for you. some trigger work was done not much..installed a Tasco 3-9x50. Watch the second screw from the front on the rail that screws to the action.. shorter screw needed. Now i copper pin cleaned some federal cases and annealed them and used a primer flash hole debur tool to make the primer pocket nice INSIDE the cases. FLS with lee dies,, chamfered case mouth with VLD tool. I did not trim or weigh cases. Loaded a ladder test with Varget... 6 rounds 24.5. TO 26.0 gr in .3gr steps. CCI 550 primers .795" center to center group At 100 yards 1.5gr difference in charge weight. Shot all 6 back to back single loading them.. one front bag no rear bag. This gun is very light and so is really hard to hold steady from my heart beat. My heavy barrel savage .308 with a wider flatter forearm is much easier to rest and no heart beat issues. [ATTACH=CONFIG]52398[/ATTACH] If you must see holes.. Super happy with this inexpensive gun so far. [ATTACH=CONFIG]52399[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
