Hi Bill...............:o
If your BCA shot at 1 MOA, don't lose your mind if your Hollywood makeover doesn't shoot better on it's debut performance at the Hollywood Bowl!!!
It may or may not shoot under MOA depending on a lot of things. Give it a good sound barrel break in like you would for a bolt action gun and don't think that what shot well in the BCA will even remotely shoot the same in the Zebra with new stripes!
Break it in. Shoot it, clean it and do it again and again. My wish for you is half inch MOA from the opening curtain call! Looks really nice and from what you have upgraded, it should be a good improvement!

Hey Rosecrans1, I hear ya. You're right. I have my cleaning gear at the ready. I have 3 or 4 different factory loads to try that the group has recommended. I was pretty patient with the BCA since my expectations were low to midland. I'm entirely way too excited about this.
I'll post good or bad. Still new to long range with ARs.
