It took the time from the original post until early this month. The stainless heavy barrel rifle came. Had a Bushnell 3x9 scope and synthetic stock. The rifle required very little shooting for the first zero. I string of three shot group were fired These were under an inch. On the next outing a final zero was to be set. Several of the rounds,Hornady Vmax 20gr, were such that it took effort to shot the bolt. Looks like that tight rounds may have be related to the flyers. Making up for a flyer the five shot group was slightly elongated due to wind but was less than an inch. My bet is there is nothing wrong with this generation of B Mag's. We are dealing with inconsistent cartridges. Just a bet. This B Mag is a keeper.
