I really enjoyed this writeup. I have one just like this one, same scope, weighs exactly the same too. I just got back from the range this morning. I just picked a couple loads out of the Nosler manual and shot them today. One group with 200 NP and R-22 was 5/8", one was 1.25". 180 NP went a little under an inch for a couple groups. These were just random loads with nothing special done. I think it will shoot pretty good. The gun didn't feed from the magazine very well, but I smoothed out some rough spots and it's working much better. Scheel's had these on sale for $1200. I think it's worth it.
