I built my rifle about 2 months ago and up until today I had not shot a good group out of it. It was a nice, sunny 55 degrees the first weekend of February so I cannot complain! These were rounds 71-75 down the barrel at 105 yards and I hope everything continues to improve from here. My last upgrade will be a new trigger as my current PSA mil-spec trigger has quite a heavy pull. I have been shooting factory 123gr Hornady Amax and couldn't be happier after today. I'm looking at jumping into reloading soon as well!

Nice group !!! I had the biggest grin my first sub moa group . I remember I bought 2 boxes of Amax and 2 boxes of SST . I shot the SST boxes first and was getting .50" -.75"moa@100 then a few days later I shot the Amax and couldn't get under an inch @100yds. I thought my gun was messed up . I couldn't believe the SST hunting round out shot the match Amax . I just about lost a night of sleep trying to figure out what happened. My next ammo order I got more SST's and then my group got back to sub moa .that's when I knew I was infected with the grendel bug . Since then I've bought every part that can increase accuracy that I can afford . I built a very heavy shooting bench that helped more than anything.

That is a good suggestion. I was using a picnic table that was pretty sturdy, but I am sure it could be improved. I definitely will be trying some SST and ELD now that AMAXs are discontinued. That big grin you are talking about was on my face afterwards, thats for sure! Thanks!

The new trigger and practice should make a big difference

Nice shooting, especially for a mil spec trigger!

Nice shooting and a good looking rifle! Good luck deciding on a trigger. My vote is for Geissele but I haven't tried anything else but a spikes enhanced and mil spec
