Picked up a new one. Took it out today after mounting a scope to a least get it on paper. Understand it may be a journey to make it an "accurate" rifle. I had some Olympic 223 ammo that I had squirreled away. Though it would be good for getting it on paper. I was surprised to find that about 50% of the ammo would not fire. Wondering if this is a problem with a weak firing pin spring or just bad ammo. Will run the "bad ammo" through an AR-15 later to see. Anyone else had a problem with a weak firing pin spring?

Try some American Eagle Tipped Varmint, 50 grain and report back. It's cheap and part number is AE223GTV. Usually shoots sub 3/4 moa.

I'd try some different ammo. PMC 55gr, Hornady 55gr, etc...

All good advice. I had planned to do some handloads since the results I did get with the rounds that fired was nothing to write home about.
