[QUOTE="rickeyparker, post: 1101198, member: 10378"] First thought was oh crap why did I buy this rifle First Impressions It had a cheap feeling stock (Still does) Rough Bolt (real stiff cycling and lockdown) Scope Mounts werent real Impressive ( painted) trigger pull was Awful (was awful) Pinned free floating barrel didnt shoot good groups The Fix had to make adjustments on barrell to stock clearance. take it apart and clean all machine oil and tooling powder out of it. Smooth the trigger action ( Cleaning and blowing out with air) Take scope mounts off and clean out tool oil, lockdown with locktite. Clean and polish the bolt (all rough areas) Add a NC Star Scope 3x9x40 with mildots Results under 1 inch group at 50 yards free hand 2 inch group at 200 yards laying it over the ATV seat never had one jam or hang up at all, the scope was flawless and it shoots well, the trigger was greatly improved with a small amount of creep, this is not a target rifle but in fact it will turn out to be an exellent hunting gun, i shot 3 different loads thru it and they all worked well, so for the investment of $220.00 I am real happy with it, The NC Star scope works real well and didnt give me any fuss at all [/QUOTE]
