Thanks folks.

It was a labor of love. I don't have a ton of extra money but this was for sure worth it.

The six-fiver Loopie' is a great tac round. Nice build!

Ok I'm a little envious.

Very nice setup, I would be interested to hear how that Criterion barrel shoots.

I'm interested to see what I can get out of her as well. I know it won't be much better than .5 most likely but for now that's good enough for me.

NIce! That's a very big foot print next to your rifle.

Rifle shot well. Better than me. I loaded up some 140gn SST's for plinking purposes. Really, I just wanted to get used to shooting the rifle. I also had some 120gn factory Scenar ammo that I shot.

With a ton of concentration, no rear bag, off a bi-pod rifle shot sub-MOA. I got the scope pretty much dialed in. Further testing is certainly needed but I'm gonna like this one. Hoping to head back out on Monday if time allows.

The folding stock is awesome. It's got a solid lock up, both open and especially closed. I love how small it folds up. I can fit the folded rife in an AR case, no worry. The action is smooth. It's not silky, but it's nice. With the brake that's on there, recoil is minimal at best. Really tame.

So yes, she's a keeper.
