Took it out for its first proper shoot on Saturday. At fifty meters with Eley ( blue tipped) all five shots touched each other. Pushed it out to 100 but it stared to get a bit gusty and the groups opened upto inch and a half. The Reamington ammo didn't group as well. About 3/4 inch at fifty meters. Didn't do them at 100 meters. The Eley performed well over the chrono with about a 30 fps spread. The gun has only had about 100 rounds through it and has still got the origional crown. I worked and polished the trigger group and it now lets off crisp at 1 1/2 lbs. No problems with the drop test at this weight.
Will get a few more boxes of ammo down it over the next few weeks, and will re thread and crown ot see what happens. All data has been kept so far and will eventually type up a little report to let you know how its doing.

Future tests:-
1) chop down barrel and see what happens
2) borrow, buy, steal or beg the use of a sound level unit to see how it performs against its big brother and other things ie .22lr high velocity.
