I only know what my Sport can do. I've shot 8" groups at 200 yards standing up with no support using a red dot sight with mine. It shoots very accurate for the type of rifle it is IMO. I haven't ever shot it off a rest. I guess I didn't buy it for that kind of shooting. If I want to shoot from a rest I'll get out a bolt action rifle. I'm not saying it's bad or wrong or anything like that to shoot for accuracy. All I'm saying is I haven't really done it. But IMO shooting groups like I shot repeatedly at 200 yards indicates a rifle that will shoot small groups from a rest with the right ammo. BTW I was probably using American Eagle or PMC ammo. I was basically just plinking. I use Black Hills ammo for shooting small groups. I have a .223 bolt action rifle and it will shoot Black Hills ammo exceptionally well compared to plinking ammo. I don't buy steel cased ammo for my .223/5.56's. I gather up the brass and sell it and I end up spending about the same to shoot brass cased ammo.
