Well yesterday was the day from hell. With a massive head cold and excessive sinus pressure I decided to go shoot my -06. temp was 10 degrees, wind was mild. 100 yard zero in 3 shots this rifle shoots like a dream. didn't have the focus to shoot for groups but did some shooting at the 330 yard steel and it was great. it'll be next month until I can take it out proper as I work rotation but I look forward to seeing what it can really do. oh and on the way home the alternator in the car died, and I got food poisoning from lunch. But hey it was fun at the range. so in conclusion I'm pretty happy with mine so far. Now I just got to scope it. Thinking a SS fixed 12x or a viper hs 6-24 can be had for a great price at cameraland right now. if I can come up with the extra cash a vx-6 3-18 would be damn nice.
Got the camera out today and took a few pictures. For size comparison here is my 700 bdl .30-06 aka �cheap bastard� she'll do 1/2� groups at 200 all day long.
If all goes well on Sunday Tiny will get a nightforce 20 moa rail, rings, and a vortex viper 6.5-20x50 mil dot scope.

A consistent 0.25 MOA shooter? Am I reading that right?

Didn't you know that all "internet" guns shoot 0.25 or less - "all day long"?
It is a requirement for posting, although occasionally with the caveat - "as long as I do my part".

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.
If we couldn't say "all day", there wouldn't be anything to say about how our rifles shoot. I'm gonna defend the practice, at least in terms of internet forums. except I'm really pleased when I have one that will do 1 MOA "all day".
Topcat: the 30-06 can do some work at long range with a 190 SMK or 208 a-max. the 7 rem mag with a 162 is gonna outdo the .30's
Sorry for my being out of the loop here. By 1/2" groups at 200 I do indeed mean .25 Moa. By all day long I guess I should restate that as for as many rounds as I choose to put through it. I will flat out tell you I don't have another rifle that shoots as good as it does but I only shoot 1 at a time. And anyone is more then welcome to come up here and shoot it. Just drop me a pm. I do realize that for someone like myself to have a straight shooting rifle that didn't cost an arm and leg is uncool but that's just the way it is. Or if I missed the mark and it's just the all day long part, well it's just a phrase as I've never had a range trip last more then 6 hours.
I bought a stainless version at Sportsmans Warehouse in MS about 4 months ago. 7mm rem mag. Put a SWFA 10x Milquad on it sitting in Burris Signature Zee rings. Got the factory trigger down to 1.75 pounds. Rifle will only shoot Hornady Superformance 154 grain into 1.75 inch or so 3 shot at a hundred yards BUT will do .5 inch 3 shot with Federal blue box 150 grain. This off a solid bench with front and rear sandbags made from old blue jeans legs. Barrel fully free floated back to action from factory. Killed a 9 point buck at 125 yards and doe at 250 yards with it so far this year. Like the rifle other than dismall performance with the Hornady load.
I tried to get one from Cabelas when they had them on sale earlier this year, but there weren't any 7 mags available anywhere. Seems like a decent package. Ended up finding an older BDL in 300 WM that shoots well. I would still like to get one of these in 7 RM to play with though.
bcraig, If you are not a reloader, try finding some ammo with the Nosler Partition or Ballistic Tip. I've never had a problem getting those two bullets to shoot.
