Well I was finally able to get my Mountaineer in and shoot it a little. Let me just say that this gun lives up to the hype that it has been given!! I was just trying to get the scope close and I was lower on powder than what I thought that I was. The load was only a 100 grains of BH 209 and since I was just trying to get the scope close I was shooting some 300gr SST's that I had with Win 209 primers. My next outing I will be shooting Lehighs in either the 275gr. or the 300gr, depending on which one shoots the best. I also want few more fps, so I will up the charge of BH. There is 6 holes in this target, the one on the very bottom was the first and I made an adjustment to the scope and brought it up to the rest of the group, which was a 5 shot group. The last two shots are practically in the same hole in the bullseye!! Oh yeah this is at a 100 yards off of a Lead Sled. Yep, she is a keeper to me.
Hey Tom, I know you take some heat from some of the guys on this forum for being a Knight lover, but when they do this right out of the box, I say LOVE em!! My new TC Pro Hunter, I couldn't get it to shoot anything under 2.5 to 3 inches and it cost me more than my Mountaineer.
