| Shot my FAR-50 today after installing Millet LRS-1 scope and YHM handguard and Harris Bipod. All worked flawlessly, and I shot a real nice group at a measley 100 yards, shooting 647 grain ball and WC 860 powder, CCI 35 primers. I am totally satisfied with my rifle now with 5.5 pound JP trigger. I have Mark 1 and understand how to use it and it is a great value for what I have in it. I have the first 36" barrel and was too impatient to wait for the Mark 2 muzzle brake so installed Armalite brake. Recoil is no issue at all, never been touched by the scope, I have about 150 rounds through it now. I am very happy with the accuracy. I actually shot as good a group as I did with my 17 Remington today, so the gun is definitely doing it's share. SO far so good on the Millet scope, seems as bright and sharp as the Burris, I am a little worried about the rings, but we shall see how they do in time. Thanks Chris for your hard work! |

Probably an ideal post to be located under the already running "Review" thread. Any mods req'd to use the Armalite brake? Any idea of what a "real nice group" is, ie number of shots, group size center to center, distance shot (100 yds I see), powder charge, etc? That might help folks that are just getting these guns to have a good idea of where to go with a load. Also, what kinda rings do you have that you are concerned about? Also curious why the YHM Handguard and Harris pod? -David Edgewood, NM |
