Default 21"in GMbbl

Went to the range this aft w/the new 21inbbl. Fit it last wk to the wmc .50. No better than I can focus w/open sights, 3in groups at 50m w/250gr reals, 80grff goex. the same w/ 350gr maxihunters, 80gr ff goex. this little gun has some serious potential. 25 deg slight wnw wind. Can't see the front sight real well though. Going to scope it here in a while. Thinking about a 2x shotgun scope for it. Want to keep it simple!! thanks to cayugad and sabotloader for your help and advice!!

Sounds like you have a serious shooter there. And with that maxihunter and that powder charge you can stop about anything you want... nice shooting, and it will only get better. Doesn't that little rifle balance nice... I was so impressed with the balance of that rifle. And for walking around the woods, I do not think I can find a better rifle..

That wmc is a sweet,sweet handling little rifle for sure. that new bbl just amazed me this aft, just plunking them right in ther. Never toughed the sights either. About 2-3in high at 50meters. the local range has shooting out to 200m. I was onthe 50m, started at 25m 2 shots and then moved to 50m. thanks again for telling me about those bbls!!

We will never mention again how well balanced they make the rifle, and how deadly accurate they shoot sabots. Also they are easy to clean, so we will keep that quiet as well. After all we would not want to influence you on them. Even though they were on a heck of a sale.... Probably never get that chance again. But I hate to mention that ... Did that help?
