Made a trip to LGS yesterday to check out the No.1 and it followed me home. Fit and finish on this rifle is exceptional as they are on my other No.1s.
Last evening I mounted a 3-9x40 scope on it. It's a Swift scope and not the greatest but wanted to try the rifle out today.
As Al had stated, the bore was filthy. Once I got all the gunk out of it I took it to the range this morning. I fired a couple of foulers at 30 yards to make sure I was on paper.
Then moved to 100 yards range. First 2 shots were 6" high and 8" to the right. I adjusted the scope, next 3 shots were almost dead center. Group was 3/4" with all three holes touching. I was using factory ammo, the black box. The muzzle brake does it's job. I believe the recoil is less than that on my AR 450bm.
I would hope that this would put to rest any questions on how the 1/10 TR effects accuracy in this rifle.
First impressions, the added weight of the No.1, along with the muzzle brake, makes recoil negligible. The weight on this rifle is listed at 7 1/2 lbs. Trigger pull is crisp and clean and breaks at 4lbs 2oz according to my gauge.
I know it's not much fun to look at some one else's targets but I am attaching a couple just to give an idea of accuracy of this rifle. I think with some better glass on it, it may shoot even better.
If anyone has questions about this rifle, feel free to message me.
