Got this in 7mm-08....synthetic stock with 22" barrel, a 9 twist and match grade crown.
I have never had so much ease with a new rifle. this 5R rifle right out of the box was pushing tacks and shooting keyholes. 3 shots at 50 to be sure,

and after that i put 5 shots on paper at 100 yards. the 1st was an inch low and right, made a scope adjustment and the next 4 were in the same hole. I know what you're thinkin, why not zero out..well we had a perty steady wind from left to right the whole time, so i figure i'll wait til a lil calmer day and get it zero'd out then...plus I have ta go back out and zero when it cools off...alot

2 thumbs up.

HB,

Congrats on the new rig !

Sure looks like you got a shooter.................

IMO - Might be the best Value/Quality buy in the market right now.


Just as an FYI - most people use the phrase "keyhole" when a bullet is tumbling as it hits the paper; thusly making a hole like a keyhole (not a good thing - LOL).

Yep, shooting keyholes is not good. Now if it can shoot a flea of a tick, that is something totally different.

ohhhh..i see..i shot 5 bullets, adjusted after the 1st shot, the next 4 went through the same hole almost, resembling a keyhole. (circle with a long bottom, like skeleton key hole) mybad
