My Accura arrived May 18th 2009.
I have shot it 6 times today at 20+ yards. I have NEVER found a sweeter shooting rifle right out of the box! I am shooting apox 2 1/2" to the left so i will adjust once i am finish cleaning the rifle.
ZERO blowby after 6 shots, ZERO kind of soot/fouling on the frame, ZERO, not a friggin hint of fouling in the breech plug threads.
I am however getting a really good crud ring, but i can deal with it and push through. Maybe some kind of roughness thats catching it? Either way the rifle is just amazing. My heart feels like it did the first time i dropped a pair of panties :lol:
Recoil isnt even noticable with the thumbhole stock. Im not sure what the nonthumbhole feels like but this one is excellent. They even put some gripping texture in the palm swell and it works great for a non slip grip.
The thumbhole stock itself is easy to get your open sights in eye view. They come into view as soon as your cheek hits the stock. Its a comfortable thumbhole thats not to big - not to small, just right for my big hands. Very very comfortable.
Trigger is amazing, the best ive ever pulled on any muzzleloader ive owned. UC wasnt shitting me on this!
Barrel cleaned up with 3 windex/water patches ( both sides) No snagging or anything, just one clean motion down the barrel.
The ramrod is great as well but one thing that bothers me. Its aluminum and i can NOT stand the noise that an aluminum ramrod makes. I prefer flexy plastic but this one does perfectly fine for me.
Maybe i will see some fouling when i go to the bigger 444 powerbelts?
Very impressed by simple things such as the box that it came in :lol:
ooooooooo!!!
New Quake sling also impressed me greatly over the previous designed sling that came on my Winchester X150. Very soft and flexy and does a great job at staying on your shoulder.
First range target. By the way, this target SUCKS when you are shooting open sights.
After 3 shots,
Second go round with a new target that i could see. Next time will be 100 yards off a sand bag. I was using a fence line here.
Notice, no fouling or Residue in the BP threads. Its all on the face of the BP and the smooth section. I only finger tightened this one as the manual says to do.
May 19th 2009 The 245gr and 338gr Powerbelts with 100gr pyrodex rs loose, Federal 209 primer both gave me a 3" group @ 100 yards with the fiber optic sights. I will try some muzzleloading primers to see how much they will help. 3" groups @ 100 for a 1 day old rifle aint to bad IMO. I still need to find its sweet spot and i will a lot sooner than later
