cayugad,I posted a pic and the first three targets I shot with it. The breech plug works just like its supposed to and there is no blow back or by the 209's slide in and out with ease no sticking at all so far.
So far I have tried several bullets SW,XTP and Gold Dot all with 100 and 120 grs of RS with 777 209 and the old win 209 with a cool barrel they grouped at 1 inch or better the temp was up close to 100 when I was shooting yesterday and with a smoking hot barrel it still stayed under 2 inches. It shoots the 50/40 200gr SW but it wont shoot the 50/40-180 Gold dot at least not with 100gr. So far it has shot most loads to the same POI and the scope I am using is an old Bushnell 1x4x 32 since the 2x7x40 Swift I ordered has not come in yet [I am suprised this old junk scope will hold groups like this] Lee
PS I ordered the one with the plating and they sent me the blue one so the dealer gave me a price break got it for 275 + tax now thats almost as good as the Z5 Omega I got at the Walmart sale for 150 and I would not have believed it but it shoots just as good ,I have had HP rifles that did not shoot as good.
