I bought one when they first came out, blued steel and walnut. Classic stock, what’s not to like? Was it a target rifle, no. Did I buy it for target shooting? No, I have target 22s. Is it a decent rifle for walking around the woodlot? Yes.
I did not add shims to the bolt but read that will improve accuracy. I did bed the action. I also at some point swapped out the barrel. That improved the accuracy but I need to sit down and put it through a series of testing and make changes bases on results. I have too many irons in the fire. A nice problem to have but still a problem!
