I'd call that good!!! Nice shooting. I'm very happy with my Fieldcrafts and how they shoot. Best deal going. I agree

SWFA is 1/2 the money and 100% repeatable. I have kicked around the idea of picking up a SWFA 3-15x42 with the MOA reticle.

SMACK, if that's a standard 1" orange sticker those groups look quite a bit better than 3" .... more like 2".

My 22” threaded #2 Fieldcraft in 6.5 manbun is a 1/2 MOA rifle with factory loads, which is just a smidgen better than the 21” featherlight Fieldcraft that it replaced. Once you have a Silencerco Omega on the end of the barrel it’s like shooting a 223.

This rifle is on fire 🔥!!! I took some friends bow hunting Mule deer 🦌 yesterday. Had the rifle in the bed of the truck in a soft case. Bounced all over the back country. I’m talking bounce your head off the head liner stuff a couple times. I was out and about today. Stopped at one of the local ranges just to check my zero. Fired 3 real quick at the 200 yard line. Right at 3/4’s of a inch with factory Hornady Precision Hunter 143gr ELD-X. I haven’t liked a factory rifle this much in a looooong time and I own a bunch.👍 [Linked Image]

Not a bad average from a factory rifle and factory ammo @ 200 yards. Average for 4 random groups .949 [Linked Image]

Gave handloads a go today. Used the same load I used for the Howa Alpine. [Linked Image]

Tried some ammo I had never tried before and I was quite surprised. This ammo is $10.00 a box, my cost. S&B 140gr SP First three shots at 300 yards with it. Super close to the same point of impact as the factory Hornady 143gr ELD-X load. [Linked Image]
