How much more accuracy am I going to notice from a standard than a loaded? I am working on which one to try to buy. (With the crap that happened today, it may be a moot point.) The price difference is significant enough for me to ask.
I am an average shooter. By average meaning I can normally hit what I am at. I shoot competitive pistol, a little 3 gun, and a some skeet. I "might" shoot a little heavy metal "3 gun" with this rifle. I want a gun that will function well. I do reload my own ammo. Is one more finicky than the other? Out of a Standard - What size groups should I expect at 200 yds? Out of a Loaded - What size groups should I expect at 200? This is a buy once; cry once kind of question.. Thanks, Taz |

I have a Loaded good friend I shoot with has a std and loaded. Here are the differences as I can tell from shooting them all.
Loaded has slightly better trigger IMO Both are Loaded models will shoot consistent 1MOA or better groups with good ammo. With surplus ammo they will shoot about 2MOA to 1MOA. His standard with both of us shooting it can shoot anywhere from 2MOA to 1MOA depending on ammo never been able to get it to get sub-MOA with match ammo. We would shoot out to 400m on his property and with all the rifle they all would get consistent hits every time. The standard is much lighter and if you plan on hunting or carrying it the std will be more pleasant. IMO both are great rifles but I like the triggers on the Loaded model. |

Thanks for the help and answers to my question. I went with the "buy once, cry once" theory. I know I am always trying to find the best bells and whistles.
I have a new Loaded coming with the wooden stock and molly barrel.  ( I couldn't find a stainless barreled one.) Black looks better anyway. 
Now! The search for AMMO begins! (I did buy 500 rounds of once fired brass yesterday.) I owe, I owe, its off to work I go! See ya at the range! Taz |
