To answer a few of the questions,

I am using 100 gr Winchester Super X rounds.

I used whatever solvent/oil combo that came with the kit - likely cheap crap.

The bases and rings are tight. I bought Burris rings and I will never do that again. Alignment o the front ring was a real pain. I also used blue locktite on them.

I had good squeezes on the trigger. The trigger is set lighter than any gun I have ever shot, but that is not saying much maybe.
