I'm actually in VT, but yea, still no snow. At least nothing has stuck, because it keeps getting warm.
So far it shoots pretty well, always under 1MOA, .5-.6 on average, the best 5 shot group has been 3/8". It's had it's fair share of teething issues. The groups seem to wander, but what bullet and powder combo it likes best is still a mystery. Oh, I hate their stupid trigger, the built in safety needs to burn in hell, it's always tripping and forcing the shooter to re-set.

Ben, I meant VT, sorry. Safety-the trigger sear release thing?
3/8" group seems pretty darn nice. 9 twist?

Re: At the range
Hi Bill, sorry I didn't realize it was you, for some reason I saw your username but nothing clicked...
Anyway, it's a 9 twist barrel, the fastest they offer. The 3/8" group was a one off, I think it's safe to say that's it a 3/5" gun all day long, which is good for an off the shelf gun, but everyone wants to be shooting a ragged hole...
As for their trigger, tying down their useless problematic sear release has proven to be a temporary solution until a good aftermarket trigger is installed. I've got to sent you an email...

looking at the pic. Hey if no snow to ski, shoot!
