Today, i took the Accuras up into the hills. The 5 shots on the top of the top target are from the Accura. The 5 shots below, which are on both targets, were made by the V2. The top target was sighted with the Accura, and the bottom target was sighted with the V2.








The accura has a peep sight. The V2 has the factory iron sights.

At dawn here, it was 13*. The rifles had been left out in the truck over night uncleaned, and loaded with 105g BH209. The bullet in both rifles was a 300g Gold Dot in a short black Harvester sabot. The primer used in the Accura was the STS. The primer used in the V2 was the W209. When the targets were shot, the temperature was 27*. Both rifle' breech plug had a 'powder pocket' milled into them. Ignition was perfect. The targets were shot from the cabin of my truck with my rifle resting on a home made platform, and my right elbow on the steering wheel. The range was 102 yard.

The stock of the V2 feels so much nicer than the old hard stock. The trigger pull of the Accura has become pretty good, and it can surprise me when it releases. The V2 trigger has a tiny bit of creep, and requires one to squeeze through the movement, but i look for it to improve with use. The effective barrel length of the V2 is about 3/8" shorter than the Accura, because of the QRBP.

When i came home, the first thing i just had to do was remove the QRBP. When it was installed, it was tightened by hand, and with no lubrication or teflon tape. The was a total of about 13 shots made with the V2 in order to get the bullets to hit paper. The QRBP unscrewed by hand with no problem whatsoever. This was some weird to me. Evidence of blow by through the threads, and around the primer, was negligible.

The rear sight on the V2 doesn't have much left left, but there is plenty of down. I am hopeful i will get it to shoot exactly where i want it, so it can be used during our muzzle loader season, which starts the 11th.
