While I wait for my Nightforce NX8 2.5-20 to arrive I bought several types of precision ammo for it to give it a whirl, several Lapua Loads and a box of Federal Gold Medal Match with 175gr SMK bullets. I had my CompM5 and an Aimpoint 3x. The trigger is stock LMT (I'd really like something a bit lighter, frankly). I bench rested it and am pretty pleased with the results given the magnification I was working with. I put seven rounds into a 1.5" white dot on a human torso target. Distance: 100 yards. I should mention I'm using the 20" LMT barrel. I am looking forward to better results with a scope and more magnification. Three were in a .5"group in a straight vertical line, the other three from center to side.
