At least its fixed now i guess and good on you for not selling it on trademe as a "tac driver"

Don't tell them you used hand loads then. At $5000 a piece you d expect that to shoot under 2 moa with factory ammo!

it originally shot just under 2moa, that sort of accuracy isn't what you want in a long range rifle-especially when advertised with a match barrel.

I have had no issues taking rifles back that didn't shoot with hand loads.
I suggest you change gun shops.
I've played with 2 of these now and both have been surgical but they can be a bitch when you've taken them out of the stock.

Had the barrel slugged and it wasn't great,but its fixed now and apart from the hassle and cost it is now very cool. OK I know I should have had one built on a Nesika or Bat action,with Macmillan stock Jewell trigger and lilja or similar barrel for the same money

I heard they recalled them,because others had problems with them also.
