As a side note I find it a challange to shoot itty bitty groups with this rifle, the crosshairs are too thick, magnification power too low, rifle too light and I'm too impatient for consistant tack driving accuracy.
I'm certain with more time to develop loads and some proper sandbags for a better rest on the bench that this rifle could shoot really amazing for what it is.
After my initial load development I totally cleaned the barrel and it was a breeze, almost no copper fouling.
The barrel didn't seem to heat up as bad as some pencil barrels I've shot and the POI didn't wander when it was cool to when it was warm.
I was under time constraints while developing an adequate hunting load and I look forward to playing around with it again after hunting season to see what it can really do, until then I have 100% confidence in this rifle to function smoothly and predictably in the field.
Hope you enjoy my little field test.
