Well I was excited to pick up my new rifle at the shop Wednesday afternoon.I opened the case and it was a ear to ear smile.

Today I made it to the range with 4 load to try
1. 120 gr Nosler Ballistic tip handload that I recieved with the rifle
2. 140 gr Federal Fusions
3. 150 gr Federal/speer hot core sp
4. 140 gr prvi partizan sp
I mounted a Leupold VXIII 4.5-14x40 scoped with the varmint reticle.I boresighted the gun at home but not too well:hysterical:
The wind was approx 5mph
First shot was 13'' high and 9'' right. I adjusted and resulted in 2.5'' straight left. The third was in the 1'' black circle.
I fallowed with 2 more shots with the handloads and none left the 1'' dot:2thumbsup:
The gun is everything I hoped for and finished out at 8.12lb with the scope
I am not a super shooter but the gun sure did its part.
The fallowing pics show the gun and the loads I shot.The scope was never adjusted after the 3rd round hit the 1'' dot.The 120's was dead on and the rest went right a touch
