Well maybe that's not all true...
It only took one night to get the barrel shimmed up, I shot it offhand at 75 yards and it shot a 5 shot 2" group with core-lokts with no work to the trigger and my "shotgun" trigger finger, it has little to no recoil, it balances way too well and it isn't as loud as I thought the comp would be(with hearing protection of course).
I was thinking it would be more of a project, but damned it's nice. I will say,not having owned a rifle with a comp before, it's the pressure coming off of it that'll part your hair, but I can't wait to shoot in off the bench. I didn't have a lot of time to shoot it, but I just wanted to see if my shim would hold and that it would produce a group and not a pattern. Got the shell holder band for the stock and with an ejector bbl, I'm pretty sure I can get a quick follow-up shot in if needed. Yup, I'm hooked.
Thanks for the guidance on this one,
