Any input on this model
I could not get clips to feed ammo, I found it hard to load with out clip
Shot OK, I could not get enough elevation in the scope too hit target. Shots about a foot high at 50 yards, and I bottom scope out trying to get lower
I did not like bi pod, I will try off a rest

I have one. Mine is black. Has yours been painted? Looks nice.

i like it but havnt shot it enough. I need to for sure. Its nice to have some you don’t have to reload for. I put a 3-9 nikon rimfire riflescope on it. Its one i look forward to shooting more…..

One of my shooting buddies has the same gun, it's a fantastic shooter, his has the black stock though. I really like the looks of yours!

Yes, it has been re coated
I kind of thought it was cool and different

Do you know if it was ceracoated or painted? I have one in .22 mag. No problems with feeding thru two different mags and shoots very well with 40 gr bullets.

I don't have first hand knowledge on this particular special pistol, but do on a rest for it. I use the rest shown below. It made similar to the Bog PSR that is no longer available. Using a bag on the pistol grip allows you to adjust the elevation. This is a very sturdy rest from a tripod.

I use this setup with a 20 VT and 17 HMR. Very accurate. It does take some practice to be proficient. I sight in off the bench and when I get the load I needed for the 20 VT the rest of my practice is off the tripod. Most of my practice is with the 17 HMR due to cheaper round for practice work.

Don't give up on it. Once you get the bugs worked out, you'll find it a fun pistol to shoot.

It does look really nice and fitting for a Hornady round. It may not matter a whole lot, but the bipod is attached backwards.
