Well I finally got a chance to break it in. Well my buddy had to break it in while I watched. I messed my back up Sunday and really wasn't up for shooting but was wanting to see its potential and Dave was up for the task. After breaking it here is the first 5 shot group at 100 yard. I know it's hard to tell this early in the game but I believe it is showing potential. Fowler shot was a little right but showing in my picture but the rest looked good!!! .296 inch group.

I believe this is where I'm gonna start. H1000 and Retumbo both seem to work really good.

Great stick, and even better shooting!

Have you thought about trying the new Vortex Razor LH? The 3-15x42 is 16.6 ounces. I picked one up for my lightweight rifle, and am VERY impressed with it. It would save you 6 oz...that would make it 7.25 lbs Also the glass is significantly better than my PST's.

How do you like that Lone Peak action? I have been giving those a hard look...

 

[Brian Stewart]

I'll check out the Razor. Are the turrets exposed or capped? As far as Lone Peak goes they are awesome. Their customer service is top notch. Brian at LP is a great guy to talk to and so is Mike. You won't be disappointed one bit I promise.

Did you sell the long action?

 

[Brian Stewart]

No I still have the long action. Just went a different route for a back country gun.
