Those of you that have one of these what kind of accuracy are you seeing? I am looking at one in .223 and wonder how they would compare to the average sporter bolt action.
My son has one in 45/70...
I know it's not a 223 but the trigger has to be about 9lbs.
Sitt'n on a bench he got about an 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 inch groups with some older Federal and Hornady stuff.
After that he pulled the 3x9 Leupold off of it and went with the open sites. He said that he thought that
it really didn't make a difference to him since the longest shot he'd take wouldn't be over a hunderd yards.
I think he cooked up some hand loads that didn't shoot any better. I would guess that the rifle shoots
fine,it's the trigger that's the problem. I called a local gunsmith and he said that there's not much that
he could do about the trigger.
I'm glad he appreciates single shots. I just wish he liked 1885's as much as I do. But he's young,be 25
in a couple of months. He'll come around.
