Hello Kuduae,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I did see that statement in the original Rigby Ad.

For that reason, I tested the rifle with 6 shots by removing the scope, breaking down the rifle and putting it back in the case, between each of the 6 shots.

It was not easy to aim "precisely" because the scope is only 4X with post/crosshair. I'm sure with a higher power scope there would be less verticle stringing. However, the total spread at 100 yards was 2.8" with the mean distance from center being only 1.2" for the 6 shots. I would feel comfortable using the rifle up to 300 yards on deer size or larger game. If farther distances were to be expected, I would check the zero after assembly, and not disassemble the rifle until the hunt was over.

Also, I did not let the barrel cool down completely for this test, and will redo the same test again over several days by starting with an ambient temperature rifle each time a shot is fired.
