Congrats! That's a sweet little rifle. I have one and it's very accurate. Try the 50 grain ammo, that's what mine shoots best.

My Dad has one and it's a great shooter.

I received the scope and mount I ordered from Optics Planet. DNZ game reaper one piece mount and a Simmons 4-12x40 scope. Checked the trigger pull with my Lyman digital gauge and it averaged 2lbs 11.9ozs out of the box. I don't think I'll mess with it as this is intended as a hunting rifle. I tried four different brands of ammo and here are the results. 7 round groups from 75 yards at my backyard range.

I'm pretty happy with the accuracy especially with the Federal. The Speer did better as far as windage but suffered from vertical stringing. Might have been caused by the barrel heating up as this was the last group I fired. I waited 3 mins or so between each shot in an attempt to not heat it up too much. I wasn't expecting one ragged hole from this rifle (22wmr is not match ammo) so I'm satisfied with it. If I do my part it should slay ground hogs!!!!
