Re: New addition to the safe
It shoots like a dream so far too. I took it out just for basic function testing and such, and was able to hit consistently off hand with the irons. I was shooting surplus 7.62 (Australian - FM stamped) at bottles and cans around 75 yards. Not very scientific I know, but it was just a shakedown run.
I think i'm going to drop it in a troy chassis, but we shall see. The wood on it is cheap feeling and the bakelite handguard rattles something fierce. If that's the worst thing I have to deal with from a chicom rifle, then i'm content.
Bare minimum it's going in a fiberglass stock and getting a sadlak mount. I think i'd be money ahead to use the troy since that provides an optics mounting solution integral to the chassis.
Opinions on what stock you guys prefer are welcome. I think a sage is a bit out of my price range though, and the JAE is far heavier than I like.
