Had no plans of buying a Mt Ascent but at that price the 308 came home. It passed the initial exam just fine. Mag box floats, barrel actually floats. No screws bottoming out and the crown looks good. Probably shoot it today. I have to say that without a doubt had the most copper fouled barrel of any new gun I’ve ever taken home.

I put on 1 of those SIMS barrel donuts like 2” from muzzle and now shoots 1”. Wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t shoot it myself. Only gun I have 1 on.

My best spin on the Kimber wheel to date.
