Finally got my SSi to the range and shot a couple of boxes of Remington 308 150 gr. SPs. I like everything about the rifle but the trigger. My best groups were just over 1" at 100 yards. I know this rifle could shoot under an inch with some trigger work. The trigger is heavy with some creep. The action works much better after rubbing in a dry graphite and moly lube I had on hand. The weight of the SSi made the 308s pleasant to shoot about as much recoil as a 20 ga. shotgun. I ordered a 223 barrel which should be in this week but it's going to have to wait untill I get a scope and trigger work. This rifle is going to be my deerstand gun and my 1894c Marlin will be for humping in the woods.
