I had to try another group out of the 457 since is 30 F., dead calm, and I was bored.

The group is 10 shots at 50 yards using a good lot of CCI S/V that I keep stashed for testing since this particular lot shoots as well as most mid-level match ammo.
The small squares are 1/4" so it looks like an easy 1/2" group for 10 shots, I can live with that. Especially for nothing being done to rifle except for a lighter trigger spring.

It's a sort of good news - bad news thing. I bought the rifle expecting to have to refinish the stock but it is good enough that I can live with it and it shoots well enough that I can't see doing anything to it except testing some more ammo in it. But then I ask myself "if it shoots this good with $4.00 per box ammo what is the point".

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
