over the last 15 year Ive really become some what of a rifle snob when it comes to groupings. Kinda started when I started reloading and always chasing the smallest of groups be it 3,5,or even 10 shot strings.
i've got guns i'm really ashamed of and proud of too, some due to appearance after I tried my hand at painting them up, and some due to the stupid amount of money I have Invested in them.
My number one hunting rifle is built on a titanium action(and currently on its 3rd barrel, 6.5prc) calvin elite trigger, proof cf barrel, ag composites stock, all topped with a leupold vx6hd. consistently shoots .40 or better any day of the week as long as I do my job on the reloading bench and has shot .25 and better a lot . It's my baby and it will never be sold.
over the years I can count on one hand the number of guns i've bought, stuck a scope on and grabbed a box of ammo off the shelf and that gun being as good a shooter as anyone could ask or load for. on that one hand i've had 3 that are just lights out and stupid to even try and load for. A rem 700 in 7mm mag shoots one hole groups all day with winchester silvertips. A cva scout 45/70. 1/2" groups with hornady ammo
then today i found my 3rd. I picked up a cva scout for my son to use when we go to iowa in .35 whelen. I took a cheap scope and threw on it and grabbed a box of vortex barnes ttsx that I settled on for my .35whelen Jes rebore.
well It freaking loves these. this is a 5 shot group at 100. aim was at orange target, blue was after bore sight to make sure on paper test at 25yd and I adjusted over a few clicks right walked target out to 100 yards.
after the first two at 100 I decided to leave it and see what 5 would do. can't ask for better out of a $500 setup haha Maybe i'm just lucky but this is my second cva scout ever and both shoot awesome. Being single shots makes them extremely easy to pack, carry, and hunt with in any stand.
