Bought one of these off the EE not expecting much. Hoping for ~2 or 3 MOA @ 100 to use it as a brush gun. Shot a few groups with Federal blue box 180gr.

All are 3 shots, except the last bottom left was a 5 shot group. No waiting between groups or letting the barrel cool just rattled them off. I am not a great shot. Just posting this for anyone on the fence about these. Pleasantly surprised with this high quality little gun.

I have only tried 2 loads, 6X scope. 150gr Speer BTSP in fed brass and 150 gr TTSX in win brass. Both over 45gr Varget, CCI 200 primers, 2.8" OAL. The Speers hover around 1" the TTSX a hair larger. I am pretty happy so far and want to try some heavier bullets.
 
Thank you for posting and good shooting!

Refreshing to see a bunch of groups with a few sizes. Too many would just post that one ragged hole group.
 
Yea I just tossed some H414 into a case and topped it with a 150gr hornady bullet and sighted it in for hunting. I was surprised at how well it shot with no load development. I have some higher quality 165s now and more suited powder to load soon as the weather turns
 
I like the TTSX and Nosler partitions. Have those and some Lapua brass to handload for next season. Although I am wondering how much can of an improvement in accuracy I can get over the Federal blue box... Probably widen out to 3 MOA ;)
 
Mine shoots a variety of loads quite well.

150gr TTSX @ 200 yards, 0.6"

above groups shot with 3-9x Leupold, but it shoots well too with 2.5x Scout scope, here with 200gr Lapua Mega

Just for fun I used my GSR in the 2016 Tweedsmuir Park 1000y shoot in the hunter category. Put 3 rounds into 20" @ 1040y, not bad for a "Scout rifle" !
 
Very happy with the little testing I've done with mine so far. I've had 3 holes touching at 100m with 150gr Hornady White Tail.
Hoping for some similar results with the 150gr TTSXs I am going to start re-loading this spring.
