Thanks Man.
Got this SPS second hand. Would not have gone with this scope/base , but they will work for now. First thing I did was take the base off, and re-loctited(blue) it back on. Was a good thing, as the rear most screw was loose. After that, got the muzzle threaded for the muffler. Dang I love those things. Kinda sounds like a .22 Mag . Tried out some cheap factory loads. Eh, you get what you pay for. Tried some loads I developed in ARs, much better. Ran 6 loads on an OCW, but think I'm still on the low side yet. Will try again soon. It seems to like 69 grain bullets.
A Timney 510 just got here, thank you MR. Mail Man. That should help some. Also ordered a Magpul stock. Kinda debated that one for a bit. We will see how it works out. Hope they make a .223 removable magazine for it.
Anyway, I'm having fun with this thing.
Thanks for the welcome, and I look forward to learning more about it.
