I d be happy with a 5lb rifle that put the first group close together,
the second or third group doesnt mean much to how some people hunt.

I consider any big game rifle that consistently clusters the first 3 rounds from a cold barrel,
as good to go...some might like 5 shot groups..but its never meant anything to me in the field.

NULA and Montana have much in common; compact, xtra slim receiver, front locking turn-bolts

911 rear-engine, rear-drive (vs) Corolla front engine, front-drive.



I would agree with you about the first 3 shots shooting well makes it a good hunting rifle. My Montana is pretty consistent in that regard. It does however seem more sensitive to temperature changes when you don't let it completely cool back down before shooting another group.

I haven't tested it to this extreme yet but it does make me wonder if it would be inconsistent during extreme temperature swings just from weather. This year during deer season we had both 7 degree mornings and 80 degree afternoons.
