Default KRB range report

Finally got some range time with the KRB I picked up about 6 weeks ago. All I can say is Awesome Baby!! Took a little time to get the Leupold dialed in but once I did it was consistant ranged 100 yard, sub 1 inch 3 shot groups. 85 grains 777 with T7 primers and 460gr NEX.504 Bullshop conicals and .510 dia shot cards. This rifle is definitely a shooter with conicals. Next time out I will see how she does with Shockwaves. Thank you IndianaSmokepole for all your advice. You the man!!

its nice when a rifle is so accurate right off the bad. It helps to build a lot of confidence in the rifle...

I got a new one 2 weeks ago and haven't had a decent weekend yet to get out and shoot it. All cleaned up and got a Nikon Pro Staff 2x7x32 mounted. Damn weather just won't clear up.

Replacement ramrods for the KRB and the KP1 now available from Cain's Outdoor - you'll need to call Ed Cain as these are not listed on the website.

I think he said 29.95 each. These rods are cut to length for those rifles, have 3/8" jag end and 23/64" opposite end. KRB's is 26" long.

One heckuva an improvement over the factory arrow shafts. Made from Delrin, brass, and steel.

And even nicer when you get good advice/ recommendations from you guys here on the forum. Well informed people makeit much easier, when looking for a place to start in unfamiliar waters.
