Armstech Whitetail .504
Was told by another member that Doc told him he quit using the barrels on these Armstechs because they had accuracy issues with them.. I had never fired this gun since Ive had it so now I had to shoot it.
Took 3 shots to figure out it was shooting way right, adjusted scope and fired 3 shots in a row, all bullets pretty much went thru same hole but left of dot, adjust scope and fired 2 more which are at top of dot, this was at 51 yds.. moved back to 101 yds and fired 3 more shots, no swabbing between any shots.. l-r wind at about 10 mph.
load was 65 gr of Swiss 2f and 460 gr bullshop lit with #11 cap.
Scope was a old Burris 1.5x5x20 that needs to be sent back and serviced it looks like dust in behind front lens, it holds zero good just fuzzy.
I will take a gun being this inaccurate any day, no load development just picked what everyone else likes Swiss powder and Bullshop, going to be bad news for a deer this year.. was going to sell gun as I had never shot it but now its no longer for sale
