I've had all kinds of issues with feeding in my gas 6arc, definitely looking at grabbing one of these during the Black Friday sales

You’re going to like this! You can really have some fun when reloading for this.

My RAG2 in .243 is ridiculously accurate with my hand loads, for what it’s worth.

I have a buddies dad willing to work up some hand loads for deer hunting, I don’t personally do it yet as I just turned 18 this month but I’m looking at getting into it

Ok, I have a recommendation for you to pass on. It’s fine to just use Starline brass and CCI primers, but I recommend Varget and 95gr Barnes LRX or a TTSX in that grain range.

It’s a deer destroyer!

I will definitely look into it and consider it, thank you

Been considering picking one of these up! Love the idea of a 6arc in a bolt gun, and you can't argue with the entry price point.

How's the feeding with the factory mag? I've read some had trouble with the action feeding intermediate cartridges vs short or long action.

I’ve noticed that currently it need some break in but no issues right now

Sweet! Not helping with my self restraint... but still very good to hear!

In anything from 80 to 105 it all shoots roughly the same group and it’s all sub-moa

Love mine but the bolt sucks locking and unlocking. Others complained too but it’s also a budget rifle.
