So, just finished assembling a 20" faxon into some parts I already have, and took it to the range.
First off the 105 factory loads drop in and out with no problem, so that was the first test.
This is the nitrided barrel, rifle gas, 5R rifling,
This baby has some good stuff I will say.
Using the Hornady 105 Bthp's factory.
I topped it off with a 4-12x40 Vortex diamondback tactical I have, on paper at 15 yds, 2 holes touching at 25, and 3 shots, 0.919 CTC, and mind you these were the first 7 shots down the pipe. I think some of that wideness is a bit of woggle that hit me on shot #2 of 3.
Switched over to using my magnetospeed, shots 8-11, 3 were at 0.2" and the entire 4-group, 1.06" CTC (#4 was the flyer).
Speeds and pics posted (I hope).
2665, 2674, 2676, 2643. Avg 2664, SD 15.
I was using a CPD mag, one already broken in for my grendels, worked 100% but I didn't push it, most were 1 or 2-shot mag loads.
Recoil is light, with the VG65 gamma I have on there, it is basically like a 223 in feel. Rifle is probably 9 lb give or take (I haven't found my weght scale from our move yet.
).
