As it came out of the factory:

My aging eyes had a difficult time seeing the front sight dot. Its a small dot inside a shield, the rear is a simple express type shallow V with a small notch.

The 'set' trigger was a pleasure to use, but took 'thumb' force to push it forward. Try as I might, I could not use the back of my index finger to flick it forward to the set position. Target on the LEFT side is using the 'set' trigger which is supposed to be about a 1# trigger pull, shooting from a bench, but simply wresting my elbows on the bench, no bags or supports. Target on the RIGHT is using the regular trigger, probably about a 5# trigger, same shooting method.

After testing this gun I'm really loving it. Nice light weight, nice trigger, wood is not as nice as some of the other 527 rifles I've seen, but this is to be a simple hunting gun so fancy wood is not a priority. I believe this will be a great base rifle for conversion to the Grendel for a little hog hunter.
