Hi GeauxTide,

With 26 FPS ES, how are you doing for Standard Deviations? Extreme Spread will change depending on how many rounds are fired (and you didn't tell us that), but Standard Deviation should not change much. I find that if I am getting SD below about 15 or so, I am doing rather well for accuracy but that is out of a gas-operated rifle, so a bolt gun should do a bit better.
