Very good dealing with you, I appreciate it! Hope you like that scout! I know I did. It shot best for me using Federal Premium 168gr SMK from what I tried. It's pricey ammo, but if you're doing any detailed shooting, that's the ammo I'd start with. Otherwise, the lighter weight ammo works just fine. That gun was arguably "decades" ahead of its time with the standard upgrades that came with it AND it stayed inside Jeff Cooper's original theory of what "the perfect scout rifle" should be. I hope you enjoy it!
