kyska Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Zero it. Chrono it. If it shoots straight and has at least 10ft/lb you're away. Otherwise put a variation in for a .50 cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Not on a par with the newer AA stuff but very desirable anyway - I rate AA as the best makers on the market unless you spend a small fortune - in the real world their guns take a huge amount of beating.
