Here's my experience. I bought the .223 package and with generic ammo and a lousy trigger pull, it shot about 1.5-2" groups. Next. I junked the scope, replaced it with a Nikon ProStaff scope, and replaced the trigger with the RifleBasix trigger - a very simple modification. With Black Hills ammo, the next three groups ran from .4-.7", from a poor, improvised rest. (Bad memory = rest forgotten at home.) I can't wait to see what it does with a solid rest!
