I put some rounds through it today. A couple of notes:
With 2 piece Tally Low rings, there's plenty of room to load.
It feeds perfect with 3 down. 4 down is hard to load and hard to chamber. I could probably fiddle around with it and get it feed smoothly with 4 down, but 3 is plenty, so I'll leave it alone.
Ejection is perfect.
Feeds well as a single shot. Just throw one in the chamber and it lines up properly to close the bolt.
My gun went from shooting 1+ inch 100 yd groups to sub 1" groups shooting the same factory Hornady Custom 123gr SST ammo. I'm not going to give the bottom metal all the credit, It could just be from tightening the action screws differently when I installed the bottom metal. Worth mentioning though.
I swapped the scope for a Redfield Revolution 3-9 and it now weighs 6lb 8oz.
