I was looking for a left handed .223 bolt gun but here they are hard to find. I handled an Axis but it didn't quite feel right for me. Would have taken a CZ, Ruger or Savage and finally found a used M11. It has a no-name 3-9 scope and a one piece scope mount, that scope mount will have to go. Too hard to load with that in place. Initial accuracy is 1 to 1.25 inches at 100 yrds. I know that is not what some of you are getting but it might be me or I just haven't found a load it really likes. However my intent is a 150 yard varmint (groundhog to coyote) rifle so this is something I can work with. This is my first bolt gun with a plastic stock, so we'll see how well I can adapt.
