I talked to the owner of the gun shop and asked him if the rifle had the wrench to adjust the trigger. He went and looked then came back and told me no. He told me that the rifle had been there for 4 months and because he could not find the trigger wrench he would sell me the rifle for 359. Hell yea I'm the proud owner of a weather warrior.

Went to walmart and piked up a box of winchester 130 gr. power point ammo to see how the gun shoots and to see if i would have to adjust the scope. I must say that I am please with the results. These rounds were shot with the rifle as I bought it, I did not change anything. With a little more time, adjusting the trigger and reloads I am positive that I can get my groups down below an inch. I the first picture i was just getting used to the rifle and in the second picture I tried to work on my trigger and breathing. That did not work out so good. On shot 3 I jerked the trigger and that made my fourth shot high, as I held my breathe too long and ended up squeezing off the last round as I inhaled. These are only four shot groups so that I could get the feel for my new rifle. I will go back tuesday and adjust the scope and see if I can tighten up the groups

Not a bad rig, you didn't tell me the bases, rings and scope were all stainless.

You stole it for $359.


You'll tighten up those groups with just the
"right" ammo.


I'm happy for ya !!!

Yeah she is not bad. I figured that on tueday I would go back to the range with about 30 rounds and also some of the rounds that I am reloading. After I get the scope sited in a little better, then I will work on groups, then start with my load development. Im excited. Thanks for the positive encouragement Sheridan.

I sure will. I just need to find out where they are hiding and I will be more than happy to pick them off. This will also keep me in shape for deer season. I will also put pig on the list for target practice.

Wish I could find a deal on one of those in that shape. I'd have picked it up in a heartbeat.

Yeah , I originally wanted the one with the muzzle brake and accustock, but I am glad I got a weather warrior . It is a nice stick, great shooter too.
