I had the chance to take this replacement rifle to the range; l also got to review the fit/ finish in detail in the daylight - it is an exceptionally beautiful rifle.
I shot a reload that I have used for years (WW brass/ primer, 36.5 grains of IMR 3031 and a 405 grain Missouri Bullet Co. LFN). As with my previous Shiloh rifles, this rifle loved this load also. My last two five shot 100 yard groups were dead on at a 1.5 to 2” spread. I am positive that the rifle can do better but my front sight is very fuzzy looking thru my cataracts - it looks like a dust bunny to my old eyes - conclusion; a beautiful work of art that can shoot - I am very pleased!
