Every time I shoot my sidekick it seems to shoot better.Here's
a pic of todays groups at 100 yds. off a sandbag.One fowling shot
and only one OOPS! shot :lol: Barrel seems to be breaking in
nicely.Today I was shooting 300 grn. Hornady SST's over 80 grn.
of BM3.Man I love this rifle.

Wow!! Is that with Open Sights? I am leaving mine open. Jack.

No,I have it scoped with a Nikon Prostaff 2-7x32 shotgun
scope.Wish I was that good with open sights,but I'm still
happy my rifle is shooting good groups.With 250 grn.
shockwaves/SST's it hits dead on,with the 300 grn. it hits
to the left.If I keep getting groups like these,I will sight my
scope to the 300 grn. bullets.

I got a new sidekick also . I added a .25 acp breechplug. I cannot wait to shoot it but it is spring gobbler season and that comes first will shoot it in a few weeks. I hope mine shoots as well as yours.

I added the 25acp also,much cleaner and better groups.One
thing I did was break in the barrel with 385 grn. Hornady
Great Plains bullets with heavy charges and lots of good
cleaning.These sidekicks don't seem to be too picky about
what they'll shoot well.I hope you have as good of results as
I have had :-)

I got a new sidekick last deer season,no deer but a plenty fine gun.To have that accurate of a gun w/SS and 24"for $200 I got a deal and won't be MZ shopping for a while.
