Forgot about this thread, but finally got my rifle back last October. 15 months of getting jerked around by the stockmaker in Sask, I had enough and got the police involved. Long story short, never did get the stock made so it's still sitting in the "synthetic" factory one. Just glad I got it back!!
Anyway, the more I shoot it, the more I'm impressed. Worked up a load with the 185gr TSX/Varget at 3060fps (went up to 3100, but lost accuracy) and have the 225gr Accubonds hovering around 2800-2820 with H414 and Win 760. Picked up some 200gr SST's but haven't tried them yet. Nosler brass and Fed215M primers.
For a cheap build (McGowan prefit barrel), it's pretty accurate so far. Avg group at 200 is right around an inch with a 4-12 Vortex Viper. I'm sure it will do better with higher quality glass and a more accomplished shooter, but I'm pretty happy with it.
