I ended up getting a 25-T in .223 at a gun show, swapping off a Rock River AR15 for it. I also bought 100 rounds of Black Hills 75 grn Match HP cartridges (factory seconds) and shot a five-shot group on my first outing at 100 yards that a dime covers.





Click image to see it larger. One of the bullet holes is a double.



The scope it had on it is a BSA "CatEye" 4-16x40 side-focus. It looks funny but works OK. I can see my groups at 100 yards without dragging out my spotting scope.

Boy am I glad I swapped off that AR15 for the model 25!
