Welcome. Post pics when you can.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I acquired the rifle from the original owner. He put the Choate stock & Nikon Pro-Staff scope on it. I didn't get the bipod in the deal but have acquired a suitable bipod for it. I also have a few spare magazines on the way. They hurt the wallet a bit at ~$40 each, when they can be found that cheap.
I shot it for the first time today using run of the mill Federal Eagle 55 grain ammo that I had on hand. I was able to make a good group at 50 yards, and a good beginning group at 200 yards. I'll see soon enough if match grade 68 grain ammo makes a difference. As I said, I'm learning..
So far, I'm pleased with the rifle. It's a pleasure to shoot. I can envision a more powerful scope in the future in order to stretch out the range. I reload, but this will lead to my first reloading for high accuracy experience.
