It shoots them into 1/2 moa at 2747 fps. You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it. A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck. Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.

Wish I could post pics here. I have a 21” Fieldcraft, had the barrel threaded 1/2x28 and I hang a 15oz suppressor on it.
