out of the box I was shooting about a 3 inch grouping but after a few hundred shell of finding the right ammo, shooting it in properly, and listening to the guys on this forum, it is driving tacks. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures from the sticky quik made for us I will post some pictures. Saturday night I got out to the range and was shooting about .25 inch groupings. Afterwards I proceded to devestate a red fox at about 150 yards. 1st one and it was cool. :grin:

Just to put in my two cents...my 223 handi has shot great right out of the box, and its never been fooled with. ( no tweaking, no bore lapping in fact not even ever cleaned until it had about 100 rounds thru it) Shoots a 1/2" group @ 100 yards with 40 gr NBTs. Oh yah, almost forgot...that's with a bipod mounted to the sling stud!!!

I bought the 223 suvivor and have shot 1 inch at 100 yards. I had 2 touching and one flyer that was my fault. And that was with store bought ammo. All i have done so far was to clean the factory crud out of it. just my :money:
