Well, last week I made some rude comment about the Kodiak being the "uglier sister" to the Apex. What can I say, ugly girls need love too, and the nice thing about them is they are willing to work for it. The Kodiak seems willing to work for some love too...

I wanted to try some sabots and see how tight the bore was before I invested in bulk so I picked up some 240 gr. TC Cheapshots and started the new year off with a bang:

To say the least I was impressed. The four shots are 1.3" center to center and I knew when I pulled the flyer low and left. This was with open sights and using the railing of my deck as a rest. I swabbed between shots with a spit patch/dry patchand am currently using Winchester 209 shotgun primers. The sabots (black Mag Express) loaded easily, even on follow up shots. Life is good!

Oh, I checked the trigger pull on Friday. It is somewhere between 5 and 7.5 lbs, not the 10-15 I imagined but still too heavy. I don't like the gun not to go off when I expect it to. I will have that worked on, but this is a pretty good group for a heavy trigger I thought.
