Decided to hunt 2020 with a factory rifle and factory ammunition. First time in 20+ years.
Chose a Mesa 6.5 CM. Well put together rifle. I have 300+ rounds through it so far.
Shoots the 143 gr. Precision Hunter and Black Hills Gold factory ammo consistently under an inch for 5 shot groups.
I'm trying out now the 120 gr. Outfitter, Superformance, and Black Hills gold factory ammo. So far, nothing to wax poetic about, but the groups tighten as the loads get faster. I'm testing the Superformance this friday.
The rilfle seems like a keeper and I'll likely hand load for it for the 2021 season.
