My only negative is the mag is so short. I can touch the lands easily with just about any bullet and have plenty in the case neck but they won't fit in the mag so it makes OAL a little shorter than I would like. But, the rifle doesn't seem to mind the jump so I guess that doesn't matter.
Let sleeping dogs lie. Don't let someone tell you that it will shoot better with less bullet jump. Five shot groups all under or around .500" is as good as it gets for a factory rifle. Anything less can happen but it comes at more expense and time. And then you'll likely turn a nice repeating rifle into a single shot.
If you don't hit something with this rifle, don't scratch your head and blame the rifle.
