I know that I promised to do this some time ago but I have been very busy and although I got my upper back in August I had not fired a shot in it until today. Now before I begin let me first say that I had read all the reviews both good and bad about model 1 sales and like most anything with me I give the benefit of the doubt.
Today was a very mild day here in northern California temp in the 70's and almost no wind. I needed to zero this with the night scope since it will be my HOG hunting gun. I had a very difficult time seeing the crosshairs due to the dust cap on the scope and its needed if you are going to use it in the daylight. I could just barely make out the red on green reticle and could see the target but not very clear. That cap takes away about 90% of ones ability to see but then again its not made for daylight operation. I saw the target and guessed as to the bullseye for zeroing.
The gun in my opinion shot amazing! The action was extremely smooth with zero jams or hangups of any kind. I was somewhat expecting the thing to come apart after having read some of the comments from people. I put 40 rounds thru it today using Hornady 6.5 ammo with 123gr Amax. It shot sub moa and ate this ammo while begging for more!
I just finished taking it apart and cleaning and I must say that I am more than happy with the work Model 1 has done on this upper. I would most certainly put it up against any of the larger name brands and would not be afraid to say who made it. I can recommend them to anyone now having used it for myself.
