Just to follow up on how it shoots. After swapping the scope rings to LaRue Tactical SPR-E LT139 scope mount, I got the scope dialed in and the barrel broken in and took it out this weekend for some long range shooting. Prior to Saturday I had never shot more 100 yards out. First, attempt was at 460 yards. The wind was variable at 5-15 mph. Target was 12"x12" AR500 steel plate. It took two shots to get on target and was able to repeat several times. Then moved the same target out to 760 yards. Hit twice out of five attempts. The wind was definitely a factor as it was changing directions and velocity. I was using Hornady 123gr. SST ammo. I will be loading my own with the A-max 123gr. bullets and Hornady brass. Right now I have not been able to find the powder I want. So, until then I have a good store of SST I'll continue to use.
I'm new to shooting so I was very happy with these results and I'm hoping as my skills improve I will be able to consistently hit 1,000 yards with this rifle and my reloads.
