Looking forward to getting this gun dialed in and hope it will be a shooter. Glass is Vortex PST Gen II 5x25x50. Looking forward to the knowledge in this forum to help out with this platform. Thanks, RR

Have the exact same rifle, mine has a Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x59 and a really heavy Atlas style Bipod on her. Started to shoot it last weekend but when I got down to my range one of my trees were blown over in the 85 mile an hour wind storm we had last Friday. I have to rebuild my shooting table and finish getting the tree removed. It is cut up but needs removed. Sounds like a good excuse for a bond fire. Still can't wait to shoot mine either. Congratulations on yours.

My experience has been with the steel models, about 20,000 fired so far in last 2.5 -3 years. Mostly just shoot for enjoyment, shoot mostly prone/bipod out of convenience. With good mid range $$ ammo, they agg out in the .480’s” for 5 round groups at 50 yards.
Not sure if it’s me, ammo or wind but I get a few flyers. 1 bullet changed a 5 group target from .412” agg to .483” last time I shot.
If I could control my form consistently and watch the wind flags better, I think I could get into a low .4” agg.

It is very rewarding to shoot 5 shots into a .250”CTC, it’s frustrating to back it up with a 4 and 1 group .600”😩

I hope you guys have great luck with yours. I think they’re a great platform. I have found them to be very reliable and they tend to smooth up with use. My original RH gun may have 15 to 18 thousand rounds on it now and has had no mechanical issues. My LH may be approaching 7-8 thousand and has been great also. Congratulations on your new toys.

Well, started sight in process yesterday and nearly drove me nuts. Average to fair groups, but knew that it would shoot better. Rifle resting on rear bag and AccuTac Bipod on front. Shooting at 50 yards after zero and hovering around .5 groups and getting aggrevated. Gun action was torqued to spec of Bergara of 55 inch pounds. Dropped to 45 and saw improvement quickly.........................long story short I finished up torque of action bolts at 21 inch pounds and she was shooting .3 or better groups when I did my part. Several groups of 5 shots with 3 or so same hole or very, very close. Shot KYL today and came in second with small target miss at 65 , but picked it up on next shot with a bonus. This gun will be a shooter for sure when I do my part I think.........................Thanks for all of the help again on this forum. Proof that an old man can still learn a trick or two..........................RR

Dang, forgot to mention above; Something that I really like about this gun is that it loves TAC 22........................Even better for me and my wallet.
