My buddy just bought one of these today. What kind of accuracy can he expect from this gun? Can't pick it up till tomorro cause of the waiting period.

After a good cleaning, hand polishing of the bore and chamber and a little trigger work, moa or less is not out of the question with the right ammo, usually being the inexpensive winchester white box varmint pack 45gr JHP. Lots of us here get less than 1" groups at 100yds with these little rifles, they are exceptionally accurate and don't cost a lot ta boot! My best groups are .265" and .440"....Be sure to tell him to place the front rest just ahead of the trigger guard under the hinge instead of under the end of the forend in the normal position, they shoot best that way.
