Nice. I like that round and seems like it would be a hoot to shoot. ;D It would also be cheap to shoot with little powder to burn. What scope do you have on it? Here is my Remington SPS Varmint 22-250 with a Vortex Viper 6.5x20x44 scope on it that I just got this week. How does yours shoot? How are the groups? Take Care Dale

Have a bushnell banner 6-18 x 50 on it havnt had a real chance to shoot groups since the new stock and trigger job been windy and now raining here.  But it would shoot under an inch with the 8 lb trigger and plastic stock with imr 4198 and 25 grain hornady hollow point.

Love those stocks, they are almost a laminate version of a McM HTG.  Pillar and glass bed it while you are at it and I'd be willing to bet that with the trigger you will be posting groups a bit smaller than originally.

yeah i like it to and i was able to get it pretty cheap the only thing is that it is a little bit heavy.  my gunsmith was able to get the trigger down to a safe 1.5 lbs so i think that it will do alot better shot several coyotes with it this winter before i found the stock and had the trigger worked.
