First off I wanted to thank LOSTANGLE for selling me such a fine rifle at a great price.
I got the rifle on Friday and took the scope and rings off my other 5R so I could take it to the range for some testing.
Let me share a little story, about a Month ago I was searching for a new stock for my 5R, I stopped at my local tactical gunshop to see what they had, no stocks but they had a used HS Precision in prestine condition, and this thing was suppose to shoot little tiny groups "All day long" after about 20 minutes of listening to him and fondling the rife I was sold, for $2500. I took it to the range that night with the free box of Black Hills 168 grn and some of my hand loads. After shooting a few groups I was almost pissed off, for such a beautiful rifle it just would just not group with my handloads or the Black hills. I took it back the next day with target and Chrony data in hand and got a full refund.
Since then I have been in the hunt for a new stock, when this rifle came up with the stock I wanted, I told the Wife that I would buy this complete kit and put my action in it and sell off the extra rifle. Here is my problem, both 5R's are sooo accurate that I don't think I can sell one. The first group shot was the middle one with my tried and true handload of 168 grn SMK with 44.7 grains of Varget, then adjusted the scope up a bit as to not shoot my aiming point. I shot upper left corner and worked my way around with different amounts of powder shooting 175 SMK's. It is looking like I'm gonna develope the 43.5 grn load for this rifle.
Thanks to you peckers here I am now borrowing from my savings account to pay for rifles,( the gun fund just can't keep up) LOL.
