Well, I have been out and about with my model 16 22-250...
It's been really accurate so far with just about every type of ammo I have fed it.
Must say though, that I think it likes the 55 grainers the best but it shoots the white box Winchester 45 grain super explosive stuff nice too!
We have been mainly shooting Wild Turkeys and Feral Goats and none of them have moved too far once they have been hit.
Really explosive results on head shots that leave the animal well and truly "Put down"...we also used it to evaporate some small birds... WOW... man... looked like they swallowed TNT! Big "Puff" and they were gooooone!!!
I have a new stock on order as the Huge Choate is too fat for my hands... I'm having a Boyds Feather Weight pillared and bedded whilst the Varmint Barrel is installed..also checked the Stockade web site and spied some nice looking stocks on there.. anyone have the Prairie dog? How thick is the Palm/Grip compared to the Choate?
I also just bought some bottom metal and mag for smoother feeding and easier Mag use so it should make for a more user friendly rifle as at the moment it's a big slug!!
