I've been laid-off and have pretty-much run out of around-the-house projects for the time being. I also had this rifle sitting in the back room for the last few years without it being sorted out. I feel bad for the Canadian folks and even for people in states where setting up such a rifle isn't an option any more, but I settled in to my task with gusto. I've decided on 168-grain Match target loads as the primary fodder (but had to sort out a variety of lesser, cheaper loads, even Russian steel stuff). I wasn't very happy with the original trigger group so I finally installed a belated Christmas gift from my brother-in-law, an Elftmann trigger pack. Quite pleased with the results. This is at 100-yards. Never figured on a semi-auto military-type of rifle being capable of such accuracy...
I'm not really drawn to these types of weapons, but with all the uncertainty in the world now I'm pleased to have it ready for whatever happens next. I'll do final zero at 200-yards and start to pile up more ammo. A good lock-down project.
