I picked the rifle up Saturday; had some Talley lightweight Ex-Lows handy and slapped on a VX3 2.5-8. I had three different factory loads to try. Federal Premium 135 grain Berger Hybrid Hunter chroned 2590 fps out of the 18" barrel. Hornady Full Boar 120 grain GMX 2855 fps. Hornady Superperformance 129 grain SST 2825 fps. All three just under 1 moa. The 120/129 shot to the same points of impact. The 135 grain Bergers were nearly an inch lower at 100 yards. The recoil felt comparable to a Rem 7 .308 150 grain loads.
