It would group five shots of most all loads in a consistent 1" to 1 1/4". I was quite impressed with it.
I have an older steel frame, straight grip, M81 .308 with the skinny carbine 20" barrel. My dad has an identical twin to it. Both our guns will shoot just like the quote above with Hornady 165 gr. flatbase InterLock spitzers. The powder and charges vary between their two favorite loads, but once the best combo's were found for each, they have been extremely reliable shooters. Dad's BLR is his only "deer rifle" and he has used the heck out of it for many years. I have other rifles, but I also use mine quite often. In fact, I killed a nice plump doe on a bonus tag with mine this year and Pop hammered a little buck with his. We hunt the Ozark timber and brush country and there aren't many rifles better suited to our terrain and style of hunting.
