Yes I did she's a tack driver right out of the box. I cleaned the barrel and took some factory 250 grain ammo to the range.
I fired three shots each one was three inches higher the third is the hole closest to the orange. I moved the scope the wrong way and shot the five shot group right of the hole .

A friend borrowed the gun and shot this group off the top of his ranger.

He did some chronographing for me with this rifle and my AR15 . He got 2420 fps out of a 20" AR15 and 2654 out of the 25" bolt gun with factory 250 hornady. With reloads he thinks it might get more speed out of it .

youzers, she's cruising and accurate !!

I have this 500 project to get finished this month then into the 450. I haven't decided on a action yet but hoping to put it on a Mossberg 308 MVP if it will feed from the sides with the XTP bullets, if not then a 77 or 700 with Stealth or CDI bottom metal and ACIS mags it will be.

The 200gr Barnes XPBs would probably break 3000fps and be really accurate in that bolt gun. That's crazy.

Specter23-

Here's a link to a thread from a couple of years ago in which I described obtaining a little better than 3000 fps in a bolt gun. Accuracy was OK.

Had an A-Bolt in 375 H&H, back in the day (in the late 1980's, when the A-Bolt was new). I bought the rifle on a whim, and it was dead accurate with everything I put through the action (crazy accurate). What I didn't like was the 26 inch barrel. As I said, though, I bought it on a whim.
