Finally got the M12 out to the range this morning. Put an EGW mount and an old Lyman 20X Perma center target scope, extremely fine crosshair with tiny dot.
As I did not have a lot of time I just used Eley Target for ammo, next time will also try some SK and Wolf.
The rifle looks to have potential, may eventually be on par with my Winchester 52B and Remington 40XB, far better than the Kimber 82 G I have. One thing I noticed was when action screws are torqued it pulls the barrel more to the right side of the channel, still free floated but not centered, this rifle would probably benefit from a good bedding job.
Trigger is very good, maybe a little to light, I inadvertently fired a couple shots before I was ready.
Accuracy is pretty good, should benefit from trying a variety of ammo, seemed to shoot the target Eley better than the few CCI Mini Mags I tried, had heard these rifles like the high velocity stuff but mine preferred the Target.
Target with 6 bulls is 5 shot groups 50 yards,lower right would have been 1 hole if I hadn't pulled the last shot.
Tried 20 shots at a 100 and it did ok.
