I finally had a chance to fire this rifle after I bought it last fall. I spent the winter figuring out how I was going to scope it. I decided on the new Bushnell Elite DOA scope with Weaver rings and an 11 mm adaptor to the Weaver Mount, I drilled and tapped the adapter with an extra set screw that falls between a gap in the SPRs rail. It seems to be pretty solid; the scope held true while I was sighting the scope and firing for groups.
Here are the pics
The gun fired well with the 150 grain, winchester factory ammo I purchased, no misfires. I made sure that I snapped the action closed with authority as some of the reviews have stated that the cocking mechanism won't function unless the action is closed sharply. The trigger pull was heavy probably well over 10 lbs, but was adequate for a hunting rifle. I will need to do a trigger job if I want to make this thing into a tac driver. Also, silly me I forgot my shooting rest so I had to use the closed gun case and the sling as a shooting rest.. not the best setup for accurate shooting. Overall, I am happy with this little rifle. I think with a proper shooting rest and a lighter trigger pull I will be able to improve these groups significantly.
