Finally got her to the range this afternoon. I think I'm in love with this rifle. I'm running a millet trs-1 4-16x50, weaver medium rings, and a Caldwell bipod. I used Austrian m80 ball to get a relative zero and then fine tuned with federal gold medal match 175gr at 100 yards. Zeroing ended up being costly as my very first shot out of the rifle hit the rebar target stand at Atterbury costing me an additional $15 well at least I know where it's impacting. Finally got it on target and was very pleased with the results.
Federal gold medal match 4 shot group just under an inch.
Even the Australian m80 ball shot nicely at about an inch and a half
Overall, I'm very pleased with this rifle. I'm new to bench rest and precision shooting like this but I can't to see how these groups improve as I become more practiced and as I try different loads. I'd like to find a range that goes beyond 100 yards if anyone has any recommendations I'm in indy. I'd also like to dive into reloading as well as I can see this rifle becoming a favorite shooter.
