I've honestly been shocked at just how accurate it is. I mean, its more accurate than all but two M1's I own. And amazingly flat shooting considering its a prb. Most of the group size is horizontal, and given the frequent inch, inch and half groups that show up, I'm inclined to think a solid inch of that group size is me instead of the rifle. I may pick up a Lyman peep sight down the road just to see what she can really do.
I just got an email from RE Davis and the new trigger group will arrive this week. I'm thinking about putting some Brownell's boiled linseed oil on it to redden the wood up a bit. I don't know why, but after a lot of M1 and '03 stocks, I can tell you, it does in days what other brands take months and years to do.
I may try the reduced loads. I don't shoot many critters anymore, but the wild hogs are making a nuisance of themselves again. They might see some lead hear in the near future.
By the way, did you try any Wipe Out foaming cleaner yet? I'm telling you, it hates copper and smokeless fouling with a passion.
