Fairly old thread with some good info. I asked the same question a month ago. Been pretty happy with my rifle, but it has an aftermarket barrel. It seems to be a pretty consistent shooter. Some of these guys talking about the "Indian": I try to do my part. The reason I asked the same question as the OP is because I've always heard varying reports on accuracy with these #1's. I've actually seen poor shooting ones at the range, but can't say if it were the rifle, the ammo or the Indian behind the butt. Well, most were white guys. Maybe they just couldn't shoot for chidt?? Wouldn't be the first time, nor the 100th time that I've seen that.
