Well fellas I admit! The rifle is worthy of additional work! She will shoot lots better than I can. I put about 12 rounds thru her and I can hold her in a 4-5" circle at 50 yards. And mebbe 7-8" at 100! If we had better shooting facility's I could probably tighten em up a bit more.

Very pleasant to shoot!!! Two things I discovered.

My eyes suck really bad! Need better glasses. I already knew this.

Other thing is the old girl tends to shoot high. Even out to 100 yds. And I have the rear sight on the lowest elevator notch. I was shooting a 250 grain spire point Hornady bullet loaded by Buffalo Arms. I would hold at 6 o'clock and still hit high.

Feel next step is investing in some dies and start stuffing some cases. Think I'll try a 200 grain RN. See what happens. Open to suggestions.

Overall I was satisfied. And with further work I believe she will perform.

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
