Title: The Rugrat
Post by: Hanshi on April 17, 2013
I've been waiting to get out a second time with Mongrel's little Rugrat rifle before I said very much but haven't had an opportunity for a second trip.  Needless to say the one trip so far has shown the .45 rifle to be extremely well balanced and accurate.  I did get it mostly sighted in with only some fine tuning left to do.  30 grns of JBP (3F) gouged out a single hole at 25yds with about 10+ shots.  At 50 yards - most shooting was done at 25 - it turned in excellent groups even though wind was blowing the target frame around and making aiming difficult.  This little rifle easily delivers squirrel-head size groups with 30 grns past 25 yards.  60 to 70 grains will easily take deer at any range I feel I can hit the vital zone.

 (susp) You mean to tell me now, that Mongrel ain't Chinese!?  Come on, now; he looks a lot like Master Khan on Kung Fu.
