I started with the 270 sporter, and recently purchased the 22-250 bull from a Canadien outfit. I could not find any in the Good Old USA. Each hold a quarter size pattern at 200 yds. I hope to kill some prarie dogs in the near future. The trigger is heavy, but it sounds like some of you have fiqured a way to fix that. I am sure to look into that, and any advice is appreciated. I have found the SSI-1 to be a fine piece of workmanship otherwise.
