Very nice looking rifle and groups! What kind of powder you using?

Nice rifle - Robertson sure makes nice looking stocks - AND BUILDS great shooting rifles.

I think alot of shooters out East forget that Ian is a full meal deal shop.

Great start to the shooting. I bet they tighten up with more tweaking - I am sure you will start testing at 200 and 300 soon.

found alot of "lousy" 100yd groups shot fantastic way out there.

Love to see another 223 on the line. Should be quite a number at any large match.

We have a growing number in BC. With F TR growing at a surprising rate, many of the new shooters are opting for the 223.

good thing as a few are women and children AND THEY CAN SHOOT!!!!

Uh oh, looks like Butch's gun can shoot!

Did he try it out at 300?

Nice looking rifle that definitely has a lot of potential. Just don't clean it too much.
