I have a Mountain LSS in .260. Mounted a Zeiss Diavari C 3 x 9 on it. I have put about 20 rounds through it and am getting 1 - 1.5 inch groups at 100. It will definitely do better, most of my shooting was to sight in the scope and break in the barrel. I am not sure I will ever be able to realize the full potential of the rifle with a 3 x9 scope. In my experience, I have only been able to get really small groups with higher power scopes. I bought this gun to be a light weight whitetail rifle for shots under 250 yards. It is perfect for that purpose, they are really nice guns. Everyone that sees the rifle, wants to handle it. I know two other people that have the Mountain in 7-08, good choice.
ive shot my smallest groups with 4 power scopes on both my mountain rifle and my smith corona 03-A3. with my mountain rifle i was using winchester supreme 168 grain ballistic silver tips the group was a 3 shot group no bigger then a dime, with my 03-A3 i was using winchester super-X 150 grain silver tips it was a 3 shot group a little smaller then the size of a dime. funny thing is I cant seem to shoot groups that tight anymore with either rifle. except the mountain rifle is close with my handloads. its amazing how different factory ammo can be from lot to lot.
