Awesome, i cant wait untill i order mine and shoot it. Phil, if you are worried about your bulky gloves, go to walmart and they sell wool mittens and the finger part lets you roll it off your 4 fingers and get a good solid trigger hold. Ive bee wearing those for years now. Whats suprising me is how those ball-ets are shooting, i shot them before and was happy with 2" groups at 100 yards but i was shooting 120 grains pyrodex RS out of the rifle. I like to try different bullets with my standard load that i use with powerbelts. Are you shooting off any type of rest?
Jon,
I go out to a BLM shooting range. They have big boulders in the parking of each range sight. I got lucky this morning and got one which goes beyond 75 yards. I have a 3' X 8' piece of carpet I drape over a boulder and I sit on the ground in front of it to rest the rifle. I grip the front of the rifle just like I would while shooting off hand.
120 RS, IMHO, is to much powder for the ballet. Knowing you shot open sights, I must tell you, that 2" is a fabulous group at 100 yards and isn't something to be discouraged about.
Regarding the mitts, i was thinking the same but also this. One could wear thin wool or neoprene gloves under the mitts. Keep the hands a little warmer and allow one to slip his trigger finger through with no problems.
