    Bloody accurate bit of kit those, very short ammo OAL with A-Max's due to mag internal length but still half MOA shooters.

    They love the 150 ballistic tip and E-Tip as well

    Yeah - one of the better synthetic stocks IMHO and a good solid barrel too. Double check your groups when you sight in as you'll probably shoot clovers on clovers if you're half a decent shot. All the best mate - enjoy it!

    adi 2217 resists temp extremes well and is a good choice, it gave the least amount of vertical at 800yrds in nearly all the x-bolts I have done here.
