I'll do that and for now I'll give a short report on the base model. 8500 which can be bought for about $470

had to add pop in sling swivel.

had to add riser to get proper eye level with 3x9 scope.

used quick detach mounts and burris 3x9 shooting only typical 55 gr. white box.

never had a fail to feed, extract etc.

replaced stock with fixed skeleton stock with spacer to fit my length of pull requirement.

sighted in with scope and was pleased with 1.25 moa at 100 yard range.

moved to red dot vortex 4 min red/green with no magnification.


took to range and got with same ammo at 50 yards just under 1 moa


indoors at 25 yards shot under .5 moa with store bought white box

swapped trigger spring to lighten pull. cost about $10 I think. made big diff.

Did my barrel break in: fire 1 and clean...fire 2 and clean...fire 3 and clean...fire 3 more and clean...fire 5 and clean....repeat.....then let her rip.

kept it wet with ballistrol and some heavier stuff on BCG. Never cleaned it internally as it showed no build up. No wear after a few 100 rnds.

Would expect even better accuracy with 60 gr noslers and/or 65gr sierra game kings. Match kings might be irrelevant in this weapon.

Only thing I'd change would be a longer pic rail. The one standard is too short to get eye relief and rings placed properly on scope. Any adapter rail would fix this.
