I bought a ratchet rifles Shilen about ten years ago. It shoots real well. Regards, Bill.

Very interested to see the range report, I am thinking of something very much like this. How much would something like this run without the scope?

Here are the first fire forming groups. wind got pretty gusty, was not the greatest conditions, had a load really stand out, will pursue H4350..

Wow, nice groups. Cool program for measuring. I have smaller hands, how is the HS stock compared to a McMillian (which I understand are slimmer than some)?

The HS fits me well, I have a medium sized hands. You might like the McMillan better.
