I bought the same rifle in .308 . Out of the box I put three shots 1/2 inch grouping at 100 yards but it was down and to theright by about 4 inches. I few shots later I had it dead on and sighted for 200 yards.

I am extremely pleased with the performance of this rifle. The accu-trigger is fantastic! And suprisingly the simmons scope has performed very well for me this past deer season and is continuing to be an excellent scope for hunting at night for hogs.
