Re: MCS-T4 Sako Quad 22 Trainer Pic Thread
I took the new rifle out back on my ATV and setup a target in the sage. If the objective was to create a rifle with handling characteristics very similar to a centerfire rifle (think GAP Rock in a McBros A5, for example), then I say, "Mission accomplished." I love shooting the Trainer (it deserves the name)!
Using American Eagle 22LR, there were about 15% FTEs that I had to pull out of the chamber myself. An easy way to do this is to pull the bolt back slightly and push in on the ejector hook with a fingernail, then pull the bolt all the way back. Otherwise, bring some needle-nosed pliers to the range.
I can tell the Trainer is accurate, but I was shooting off the back of my ATV with a bipod, using my fist for a rear support, and need a better setup to test for accuracy. Hopefully I can get to the range in the next couple days.
