blindeye Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Yup, bought one two weeks ago. Stainless Stalker in .243. What do you want to know? just wondering if they had any faults really when used by real people and not the sales staff who try and sell them . for the price they look very ressonable.they rave on abouts its accuracy straight from the box is this true ?

mick miller Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Well, I haven't had a problem with mine yet, but then it is a little soon to tell. Trigger is nice (once adjusted down) and no creep, I don't mind the magazine even though it's polymer, you get the same type of thing on a Blaser (as well as a IMO, really tacky plastic bolt). The safety thing on top of the bolt is a great idea, the stock (dura touch) feels nice to the touch and still grippy when wet with a distressed, knobbled surface around the grip and fore end. The rifle is well balanced until you stick a mod on the end and mine, after putting the zeiss on and without any adjustment, shot dead centre on the vertical line but 10" above the horizontal at 50yds with the first round I put through it. With 5 further zeroing rounds I was able to put two 3 round groups within a 1.5" circle at 100 yds off the bipod with a blustery side wind. I don't know whether that is good or not but I'm happy with it. Edited August 31, 2010 by mick miller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
