I am truly amazed at the accuracy of this rifle right out of the box. I did remove the factory trigger and dropped in a Timney single stage trigger set at 2.7lb. But I knew this going in, so I don't discount my rating because that is what is was supposed to be. Ok for the field but not great for precision shooting. It is a MilSpec trigger with a hefty 7lb pull. In ten shots I virtually eliminated the center bull and was shooting through the hole on subsequent rounds.

After one adjustment I put every follow up round dead in the bullseye. The first three rounds were touching each other at 50 yards about and inch below the bull. I bore sighted the scope and then took it to the range. The two together was considerably more expensive than others I looked at. I mated it with a 1-4 24mm Trijicon scope. I like the ergonomic inserts on the stock, grip and handle. The action and smooth operation right out of the box impressed me.
