Well, definitely passes the "eye - test".  How's she shoot?  You know you have to provide a "range test.

What kind of plans for this gun...pure varmit?  deer / antelope?  holes in paper?  Just because you can?

Predator and deer.Shot a 5 shot group with factory rem, 100 grainers off a bench the other morning .715 Just now working up some starting loads with some 100 gr. NBT. This barrel has only had 35 rounds through it so I believe it's gonna be another great one from MGM.as usual!

Nice to know you can get that level of performance from factory ammo.  A little tweaking at the reloading bench will likely improve on that.  I reckon there won't be too many deer or predators escaping that laser beam.

Think Im going to join the MGM team as soon as I get my current rifles scoped up.

Cheers!
