Jim, Let me know how it turns out!

Wow, that is the EXACT same setup I have on my 300. I did have the trigger lightened to 4.5 lbs. Accurancy wise I am getting sub 1 inch groups at 100 yards with Winchester 180 gr. fail safe.

Oh, also forgot to mention that I just had the trigger smoothed out too. The out of the box pull was 6.5 lbs, the gunsmith reduced it to 4.5 lbs and smoothed it out significantly. Just had the work done today so haven't been to the range yet but I am sure it will improve the accuracy.

From my post a while back: Well finally made it to the range again. Shot Winchester 180 grain Fail Safe 300 Win Mag. Distance 100 yards. Groups sub 1 inch. And for those of you who might say this is rare.....one of the girls I was with shot the same grouping!

Absolutely! Although it was not with this gun, have shot deer out to 400 yards. I would also add that this gun is a lot more accurate than any other gun I have owned. [ 02-13-2006, 07:10 PM: Message edited by: Bozhed ]

Tucker301 Hmm, is that a diagram for a R1? Doesn't appear to be for the Comfortech R1. My stock is plastic with no retaining screw.

Thanks!!

Thanks for the tip! Yes, was shooting the 150 grain Federal Fusion. That is the one that seemed to be the most accurate. Will post my results after this coming Sat outing to the range.

Went out yesterday to the range. Unfortunately I was a little unprepared and didn't have a good base to shoot from so accuracy wasn't the greatest. However, I was able to determine that the gun is reliable. Fired 50 rounds through it with no jamming problems. Used Hornady, Remington and Federal Fusion. The Federal seemed to be the most accurate. Will be going back out this coming weekend to re-evaluate the accuracy. The one annoyance that I did experience was the front stock coming loose. Easily remidied by retightening it.

Will post my results of my visit to the range. One thing I would like to point out though - I purchased the gun purely on the recommendation of a family friend who is the manager of the gun shop. I am actually a bolt action fan and was looking at the Sako however, he assured me this is a better gun. Last week started to get buyers remorse...concerned about the semi-auto action. He assured me that I will be pleased and if I am not, I can return it and get the Sako. Given that strong recommendation I am really looking forward to trying it out.

Actually not yet. Just purchased about 100 rounds of various types of ammo. Includes Remington, Hornady, Federal and Winchester. Hoping to go out in two weeks. been raining here for the last few weekends.

Thanks for the info. Picking my R-1 up this weekend (FINALLY!) and was wondering about whether I should follow the break in procedure or not. Also answered my other question about whether the barrel was cryo treated or not. [ 01-10-2006, 08:17 PM: Message edited by: Bozhed ]

For comparison I looked up the ballistics for 165 grain, Remington Nosler Solid Base BT cartridges (Brand: Premium Vital Shok). Here is a summary of the stats: Velocity-------------300 WM 300 WSM Ft/sec @ 100 yds----2914-------2904 Ft/sec @ 300 yds----2496-------2486 Energy------------- 300 WM 300 WSM Ft/lbs @ 100 yds----3112-------3090 Ft/lbs @ 300 yds----2282-------2263

Tucker301 - LOL Yes, CA is a pain. 10 day wait!
