Started putting everything together to see how it all fits. The rings are too low the zoom ring hits the rail so need to swap those out. I think I am going to go with a cantilever set of rings. I am also not settled on the Vortex Scope. I have a thirty day no questions asked return so I will try it out for a bit. If I can get the rings swapped out today I will go to the range today with my buddy who just mounted an Arken on his over the top Bergara build and see how it stacks up. I am also interested in the Athlon. There are some super cheap optics West Hunter and Sniper that I may give a try just for Shaggles. If all goes well I hope to bed the action and pillars this week.
At some point in the future I will be adding an Arca rail. |
My BTV was dead nutz accurate with all sorts of subsonic ammo (CCI SV, various SS HPs, SK STD+, etc) BUT it wanted 20-30 rounds down the tube when clean or when changing ammo to show its best accuracy with a given load.
In short, you'll probably have a great rifle, but ignore the hits for the first 4-6 mags and store it dirty with the type of ammo you use the most.
