I shot stuff between 25 and about 130 yds without missing. At the further distance groups inside 4 inches.

With maybe a quality sampling plan of 1 in 10, if that, I could see how a new rifle with part defect(s) could slip through to a customer. That should not be happening with warranty parts replacement.

I received the rifle back this past wed rebarreled. It is in better shape than the original but still has tooling marks inside. Shot it behind the house and was about 8" to the right at 50yrds. Took it to the range yesterday and was able to her dead center with 2-3in groups using the buckhorns.

At this point with it being accurate enough for me i am going to keep it as is and continue looking for a deal on a scope.
