The things I noticed were how comfortable and crisp the trigger was, perfect feeding/ejecting, and the stock ergonomics. Fit & finish was excellent. I shot this 3 shot group with Federal Trophy Copper 120gr at 500yds I shot this group with Hornady 143gr ELDX also at 500 Fence post pic without the fence post Last edited by jac3k; 04/15/17.

The grip is much more closed than the Montana also. The 18" threaded barrel is a factory offering and not special order. Anyone can get that configuration.

Do they come with or the rifle or purchased separately? Thanks
