    This rifle should shoot a maximum four shot group size of 65mm at 100m. Mine was recorded by the factory having a 40mm group.
    Your rifle should easily achieve 25mm at 50m. Remember that this is not a bench rest rig, it is a hunting rifle, so shoot it like one!
    A fence post will work if you can get into a repeatable position, a bag will help and a sturdy seat too.

    The bedding might look rough, but they are factory bedded with a brown compound which is effective, the front action screw is also an aluminium pillar.

    Don't give up. You've got me fired up with my one, I have ordered some .222 projectiles from Gunworks to try also.

    The correct projectile size is uncertain - I think the original Russian was .221" but CIP states 5.67mm which is just over .223"

    Another thing with these - the cases are notorious for stretching with heavy loads due to the shoulder angle, so keep an eye on the case length - 38.7mm
