I finally got out to the range yesterday. (Sat.)
Fit and finish are great. All parts are new GI, new walnut stock, shipped with 4 clips. The roll stamp is just as the original with a bigger serial number.
As shipped from the factory, it was zeroed in using the windage knob instead of the front sight (pet peeve). So I started by zeroing in at 100 yards with UMC 150 gr .30-06 off the bench.
For groups I had to shoot series of 4 shot sets. I would have like to have shot 5 shot sets, but what can you do with an 8 shot weapon that you can not top off. With the course of the day I shot 10 sets of 4 shots.
smallest was a 1 inch
largest was 2.5 inches
5 groups hovered around 1.5 inches.
For a battle rifle with battle sights (non national match, which I might add latter) and battle trigger, that is not too bad. I have some 150 gr Sierra Matchkings and some IMR 4064 I will put to use to see if this improves any.
Thanks guys.
