Gun and gear reviews Chimera 4 reload 4 reload 4

Ran it today another 200 rounds out of 400 total. So far it's been flawless. I tried to post a long-form video but this is not the place for that I guess. I'll try and post a couple of shorter ones.

Accurate at distance. The mag release is a little bit of a pain but once you get used to it you're going to be pretty quick.

The full disclosure I help run a three gun match in Ontario called Canadian Multigun Series - CMS. I'm just hoping I can find a rifle too make it through the season.

Plan on test firing a few of the other available semis I'll see if I can post the info here, once I have a comparison.

What ammo does it like? My experience was flawless operation (with metal mags) but bad accuracy. The ammo was gobshite magtech 556 fmj 62gr that won't even print from a Tikka so... but from the Chimera it was like Ray Charles got his PAL

Mine likes Federal and PMC 55gr, I tried a box of Remington UMC 55gr, but it was a bad lot, out of 50, about 20 were overseated and another 20 had chipped tips, which didn't make for good feeding, the other 10 were somewhat ok, but never gave them another chance after that box. I bought a case of the PMC Bronze and so far, about 8 boxes gone down range without a hitch. Although not super accurate (could very well be me.) I'm getting about 3-4" groups at 100y off a rest. I'll double check my scope mounts next time as it wasn't mounted not too long ago as well
