Doesn't look to be a fan of the cheaper stuff at all. Nice groups with the good stuff though.

Thanks for the report.

Looks like a nice rig, can't wait to get to the range with the CZ american and try out a few adjustments I made. I do know it seems to like the cheap federal stuff a lot.

Good report, but....

only good things to say?

Nice #4 , I've got one as well. They are tack drivers.


If yours is anything like mine , it doesn't like a dirty barrel, I cleaned mine up really well with the brass and hoppes and kept swabbing it till the swabs came out clean.

Now with Eley Traget Ammo which is not real expensvie my 10 round 5 shot groups at 50 metres average less than .350. It will easily shot under a dime.

I find it amazing a rifle over 50 yrs old shots so well still.

Thanks for the review. I am convinced that I will be getting the same scope to replace my 3x9x40.
