A more elegant looking production rifle I've yet to see.
Shoots good too.
What load does your Featherweight favor?

What kind of aggregate sizes of 5 shot groups are you getting (perhaps the aggregate of a few consecutive groups)? Occasional great groups don't interest me much, but consistent groups are another matter. I really don't expect factory big game rifles to honestly agg MOA for 5 shot groups - but reasonably close would be nice.

This rifle will be shot mostly standing, using sticks. The weight of the longer barrel and the cheekpiece are the chief reasons I am currently leaning toward the Sporter. I get a little twitchy on sticks (everyone does).
