Had a snowy cold weekend but managed to take the JOC out to the range. Man, this thing wants to shoot. The conditions were less than optimal but it still managed to stack 3 out of 5 shots on top of each other. The other two just cut the lines of the other bullets giving it a 1/4" 5 shot group at 100 yards. I shot two boxes of bullets. I found it to be a inherently accurate rifle and makes you look good even on your off days. One box was Hornady 130 SST and the other a Federal Fusion 130gr. The Hornady are the accuracy king out of my rifle but the much less expensive Fusion is no slouch printing 1/2" groups. I am going to pick up a few more boxes of Fusion just to shoot economically. I hear they are also a respectable hunting round so its money well spent. I have noticed the silky smooth action is even smoother after about 250 shots. The gun just keeps getting better as it gets used. This is one of those guns that your proud to own because its got the performance to back up its good looks.
I had to hang it in my office when not being shot just so I can look at it.
