Shot my new rifle today along with our Wolf. Both easy to use and shoot but the Optima was noticeably easier to clean. The Nitride is a great extra option for sure. I am very pleased with my purchase, even more so after shooting it. Didn't get any pics of the target but to my disbelief I hit the target very close to where I was aiming at about 30 yards with my very first shot with no scope adjustments. So far, so good!
In this gun I started with 80 grains by volume 777 loose with a Hornady XTP .430 240 grain in the green sabot. Crud ring for sure but not terrible. Going to use a little more powder next time to get things sighted in then I will tinker with the load and bullets.
