Will go 168 and lighter. Just to try them. Had good luck with 150gr core locks.

Especially if they're plastic. I've heard bad things about certain plastic bolt guns mags/mag releases busting off and having to have self tapping screws to semi permanently make them non detachable mags. A known problem, because of plastic

Not really worried about this rifle design or build. In the past non standard mags have a habit of skyrocketing sometimes. Might grab a few more.

Shot today. Wow. I like it. Trigger surprises you. No stop, glass rod, grit, creep or any of that. Light pressure and boom! Supposed to be 3.5lbs. Shot several different types of ammo. 150gr win soft point seemed to do the best. 0 at 200 yds. Could put them inside red circle, oval in torso target. No problems. I like the short throw on the bolt. You have to close the bolt with authority to catch the round. Lock it shut. I accentdently heated the barrel up, ( too much fun) accuracy fell off immediately.(@ 200)
Hope I did not screw it up. Seems to be a really good rifle. Fired 5, cleaned, let sit. +45 rds fired. Leopold fire dot 3x9 is fantastic!!
* Using bipod. A more skilled shooter could achieve better accuracy I'm sure.

I don’t give a Weiner shit!
Probably no good now that it got hot. Likely ruined the scope - you know it burns the gas out of em… I’ll give ya $100 for package, which is a gift.
I can use it for parts, if any are still good.

I’ve been a Browning fan for as long as I can remember and for the most part, still am! I purchased a new Browning Silver field 20 gauge a while back! When I put the barrel on, I almost threw out the plastic packing. Well, it’s part of the gas recoil system, so I needed that! Also, after assembled, there’s up and down movement of the fore grip. Tightening the nut doesn’t help! Then I noticed it was made in Portugal where the XPRs are also made at their Viana, Portugal plant!
That in and of itself is not an issue and maybe mine or just the silver field isn’t the tightest guns?
It shoots OK with no issues although I have not put a lot of rounds though it but my thoughts were/are, I have several $400ish turkish shotguns, so why did I pay a $1000 for one seemingly the same or very close? The turkish ones all work and some I have close to a thousand rounds and the one turkish 20 gauge semi, I shoot better than some of the better ones like the Japanese made Citori’s. I just have to tighten the fore grip nut and choke often and also keep real clean!

One of the things that's cool about it is the 1:12 twist. Would like to try some lightweight bullets in it. 130ish gr.

Didn't see a dang thing. Crap.
Leopold scope is great. Very good visibility right up until dark. Fire dot is very handy.

Luckly I brought my G21, if my primary runs out, transition to the black hole creating 45acp!
