Traded the rifle off for a Tikka SS T3 and a Sig C3, and really wish there were El Pollo Locos in Montana. Cheers!
I read this entire thread and never got to see a group...
Didn't even get near the "groups" stage..
Damn, we had a good time.. Listen for Bart Simpson at the end..

Man I need to check the end of these threads in the future! Scrolled through the whole thing waiting on the payoff only to see the trade ! Did you trade to the LGS or an individual. Mike

Traded where I bought it, Shedhorn sports.. They were very understanding, and wanted me to be happy. We made a very good deal.

It sucks he had a bad gun, but Forbes rifles shoot just fine. I have two, that have been shot, and they shoot extremely well. EVERY rifle company out there puts out a turn now and then.

Someone recommended I get a Forbes rifle in 7mm-08. Did a search the read about Forbes because I hadn't heard of them. I will not be buying one.

Groups are great but not the end all. Never shot a group on game
In my experience, single shot game harvests often follow tiny little groups on paper... ;-)

About as well as rifles which consistently shoot to POA on the first cold shot
