I'm still working on finishing my LRB M25 scout rifle with a 18.5" medium weight Kreiger SS barrel, but I wanted to test the action and get a baseline for this rifle. I threw it in a GI wood stock and took it out to the range.
It gave a fantastic initial performance! I only shot 10 rounds to get the scope zeroed and finished off with 5 rounds of Federal 175 grain gold medal match. End result was a 0.93" group at 100 yards with my Vortex Razor HD Gen II 1-6x scope!
The next up was a rifle that Wes Howe sent me to sell. I have an identical rifle with a different barrel and I told him whichever shoots better is the one I'm keeping. Well, his shot much better than mine! I built this rifle for him a few years ago and it hasn't been shot since the day I test fired it. It did not disappoint and produces a 3/4" group with a Leupold MK 5 1-4.5x service rifle scope. This one has a Kreiger 22" medium stainless barrel.
This will be my CMP "Modern Military" rifle.
I'm looking forward to getting my kevlar stock painted and bedded to the scout to see what else it can do. It's already shooting lights-out with an un-bedded GI stock.
