Default Endeavor Range Report

The Break in has started: Target #2 a few[3] Hornady FPB to help clean up the rifling. I think it might like them. All these targets were shot at 100yds off the bench rest at Cleburn county range.

Trigger pull will have to be modified feels like about 8 pounds to much for me.

T#6 -Lehigh 250gr - 115gr BH - Short Black Harvester STS 209
I really feel the gun will shoot better after another 50 or so shots AND fixing the trigger; It really iritates me to have to rework the trigger on an $800 gun. And I truly feel if the trigger pull had been reasonale the groups would be much better. The day was bright and clear the wind was from the left at 12 miles an hour. Lee

Good shooting there Lee. Heck, even with a heavy trigger and hot barrel those last two groups are only a tad over one inch. I agree with you, it seems that manufacturers would make it a priority to get the trigger pull right - but they don't.

The endeavor will make a great ML after you make some tweaks. Very nice shooting.

I would say the tweak he needs is to sell his endeavor and buy a Triumph. What do you say Grouse?
