A new one for me that I fine tuned: Painted the factory stock and installed a red pachmayr, as well as worked the trigger down to a crisp clean safe 2.5 pounds. This rifle was made for one year (2004).
300RSAUM:
Shooting some 165 TTSX:
Avg velocity of that load is 3,031 fps. Not too bad for a 22" barreled little short mag. Here's a couple groups I shot at 400 yards, when I was messing around with load development:
I'm really liking this rifle. Its one of my favorite purchases in the last few months. I like it more than a couple Winchester model 70 rifles I recently purchased. Its just a nice light rifle in a very useable package. Really hard not to like something like that. The performance level is also very surprising to me, as it is a puzzy cat to shoot but keeps up with my 300WSM's and other bigger 30 cal magnums. This is the kind of rifle that a guy could hunt the rest of his life with and have no regrets..
