I bought one in 6.5C three years ago to try out the caliber and installed a $20 MCARBO trigger kit. It shot 120 grain cheap Winchester 60 pack ammo surprisingly well. CMP Creedmoor sports 140 grain BTHPs shot the three-round groups shown below. They're all about .7" with the Weaver factory scope at 100 yards. These were the only three groups I shot that day, just checking zero shift with the heavier bullets.
I also have a .223 that shoots almost as well with 55 grain Creedmoor Sports. I can't recall ever getting a 3" groups with either rifle!
