Out testing the new bedding job and it seemed to be shooting well, so thought I'd give her a try. Barely squeezed in with the last group. The action and chamber were getting rather goopy, will see if it can push out more comfortable performances after a light clean.
Temp was just above 0, no noticeable breeze.
Using Eley match.
The rifle is the Lithgow Arms LA 101, the optic is a Cabelas 6-24x50 FFP. Harris bipod, ghetto rice filled bag for the rear.
Groups in order:

For those interested in the rifle
Pros: accurate enough, 2 action screws, stock ergonomics, proper bolt handle placement, crisp trigger, no one at the range knows what it is.
Cons: if you get the wooden stock version you need to bed it and open up the barrel channel likely, feeding the flat nose match round with a full mag will jam, the trigger is near impossible to work on and comes a 3lbs ish, costs the same as an entry level annie, and the non laminated wood is rather soft.
Perhaps getting to darn old!
