Poked a few rounds down the tube on the weekend at Yass, trigger is pretty heavy compared to those that I normally use, but as its a hunting rifle, can see a problem with it the way it is, would be around 3 pounds. Accuracy, three shot groups mainly consisted of a couple nearly touching then one an inch or so off to the side, probably more an indication of me needing to get used to the rifle and trigger that a test of accuracy. Im happy, and the big lunatic said he would be happy to take it hunting as it is. Surprisingly, :roll: pressures were way down for what a normal modern hunting rifle in 7x57 book values are under the 45,000 CUP, so there is room to more upwards. 120gn projectiles used. :D
