In order to qualify at my range for shooting at the ranges over 300 yards, one must put 5 shots into a 5 inch circle at 300 yards and prove it to the staff of the shooting range. Doesn't sound like a lot, but some guys can't do it. Without thinking much I put the 5 shots in a 2.5 inch group at 300 yards using some reloads I put together using SMKs with low end charge of AA2520 powder behind them. The loads were not especially put together for this rifle. A couple of the shots actually hit the X ring. Then to rule out the "lucky shot" factor, for grins I repeated the same group on another target. For an "off the rack" ready made custom rifle, Nighthawk got it right. This Nighthawk really shoots.

They then *really* stuffed up by not admitting they made an error. Kevin, Have a read of this:

Personally I would think twice before paying for an HS stock. And to think all it would take was an apology. Warren, I agree, the HS Precision saga is very unfortunate.

From what I've read their firearms are of high quality and their service is excellent. However, their choice to use HS Precision stocks may harm the sales of the new rifles. Many people have long memories and HS Precision's choice to use Lon Horiuchi as a spokesperson damaged the brand. Damage that, considering HS Precision's response, won't soon be forgotten.
