I went to the range yesterday with it. I have an old Redfield 2x7 on it. I was going to sight the irons in at 25 yards first but I forgot my Pachmayr screwdriver and none of my Allen keys fit the rings so............
Conditions horrible, raining and windy, 14C.
Shooting .223 ball I shot at 25 yards to get it on paper and it was only an inch right and elevation good. After adjusting it I shot it at 100 yards and it printed 1.5 MOA with the ball ammo.
I was surprised that it grouped that well using only a front bag. The bolt was floppy but there were no failures to feed, extract or to fire.
I was surprised by the trigger. It had a bit of creep and then stacked up and needed a firm 5 lbs to break. I'm going to play with the trigger adjustment screw to see if it'll improve.
Still, 1.5 MOA with ball from a cheap beater rifle that takes STANAG mags is OK with me.
