my friend has one in 223.....and he reloads....talk about accurate....with his loads and the boss dialed in we could put them in one hole at 100....one day it was snowing freezing and a rough crosswind....shooting winchseter fmj loads just to shoot.....and that was the first time i shot the rifle....and i could cover my groups with a quarter at 100yds....he has cheap glass on it too i think.....i think he has a BSA on it of all things...becuase he was bragging about the lighted reticle.....but i just laughed beacuse its a BSA.....i never heard anything good about them scopes.....but i do like the rifle....and would buy one in a second if i found one and hte price was right.....good shooting gun.....
