Anyway, an opportunity for a new American Predator pretty cheap presented itself (guy won it in a raffle and didn't want it).
Threw a 3x9 low lever Leupold like they sold at Wal Mart for 250 bucks. Shot a box of cheap S&B ammo through it which all went almost through one hole at 100 yards. Got some dies and reloaded some brass with stuff I had sitting around, had similar groups.
Not sure how much of it is rifle and how much is caliber, but I sure can't gripe with the results and honestly, that rifle could do anything I will ever ask of a rifle, even if I don't really like it that much, ugly as a bowling shoe and generally a soulless tool and nothing more. But I sure can't fault it where performance is concerned.
