I know it wont win me any "cool guy" points at the range but will it shoot? Or would I be better off just spending a few more buck's? I wont be doing any match shooting with it but I still like to see good groups. Main use for it will be coyote hunting and maybe a deer or two. Sorry if my questions are basic and somewhat hard to answer but what you exspect from a FNG :p
It will shoot. Expect 1-2 MOA with just about anything, which is what a hunting rifle should do, and with the right bullet you can get it sub MOA, I expect.
It will be mostly dependent on where in the spectrum your barrel is. There aren't really any bad J&T barrels, just some better than others. With Satern, Templar, Shilen, etc. you really are paying for consistency from one barrel to the next. They all shoot from those guys.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
