The most of the improvements were been done one at a time and sighted in afterwards as it is first and foremost a hunting gun. The biggest improvement was stabilising and bedding the stock then the timney trigger. We found the other changes helped me shoot better as the gun tended to move a lot between shots and was sensitive to placement in the rest. As Puffin said I let him play and only went to the range once he had experimented with loads and projectiles.��
