Well... she's not a pure bred S&W after all. I braved the cold and took her out to the range. And she performed. Here are some pics:





(Target was at 50 yards. Orange sticker an inch. Black box Federal 55 grain from Walmart. 1st group was the top after 20-30 rounds of just getting used to the rifle and making some adjustment. 2nd group on the right was actually 3 holes (2 in the upper right). 3rd group I aimed slightly low from center and it still produced (actually the best group). 4th group on the left was trying some unknown 5.56 in a friend's pocket).
