I completed this one over the winter and hadn't been out to shoot it yet in the warmer weather until this week. I was pretty happy with the results. The scope is a Nokon P223 4-12 x 40mm so it's OK but not great glass. It works for what I want out of it though. The barrel is a Wilson Arms 24" stainless steel bull barrel with a 1:8 twist. This rifle is HEAVY as hell. Definitely a range toy not a hunter
I tried a few different brands and weights of ammo. Fiocchi 77gr HPBT, Hornady Vamint Max 55gr, and just your standard run of the mill American Eagle and Fiocchi 55gr FMJ bulk ammo. The results were about what I expected, the higher end ammo shot better than the bulk, no surprises there. I was pretty happy with the results for a first time at 200 yards with it though.
Here is a kind of crapy pic of the rifle and the results. At 100yards it was pretty good and 200 had some pretty good results as well. The bulk ammo really opened up at 200 yards though.
Anyway just thought I would post up the first real range trip results.
Rifle:
Hornady V-Max 55gr 200 yards
Fiocchi 77gr HPBT 200 yards with a flier
100 yards of 3 different types and the bulk at 200 yards
