Bob, if I can consistently get 6 in the same 1.5" group, I am a happy, confident, hunter. I do think she'll do better and I look forward to wringin' her out. This one seems like it's going to not be very finicky in my brief experience to date. And I do agree with you, and your comments above the more I handle and shoot this gun, the higher my opinion gets on it. I personally don't like a wsm too light, this one seems to be just right. I guess time will tell.
