25WSSM Super Shadow

I picked up a Win M70 Super Shadow in 25WSSM for $399.99 used 3 weeks ago (20 rounds fired through it).
2 weeks ago, I painted some windows for my gunsmith's house (I'm a painting contractor by trade!), in exchange for some smithin' work.
He installed a ported muzzle brake on that "skinny" little barrel! Now I have the sense not to shoot it without ear protection (at least more than once).
He got the trigger pull down to 2.5 pounds.
Burris Fullfiled II 4.5 - 14 x 42mm w/Balllistic Plex scope with Silver Leupold Medium Height Rings.
I am here to tell you, that the rifle has a TOTAL weight of 7 and 1/4 pounds with a sling,scope, and bases.
ONE WORD: UNBELEIVABLE.
Our perception of this rifle's 'recoil", this little rifle kicks less than a 22-250 shooting 55 grainers!
I'm getting around 1.5" - 2" 3 shot groups at 100 yards with the factory 115 gr. BT's.
I used to reload A LOT for a 25-06 I once had, I have some 85 gr. Nosler BT's and 100 gr. as well. We'll see what I can come up with. Also, have some Sierra 75 gr.
Custom Camo Paint job on the stock.
Let's just say that It now looks like it is in the SHADOWS!!

I have a Win M70 Coyote in .243 WSSM, with a Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x50mm LR scope. I had my gunsmith install a Kepplinger adjustable set trigger, and steel bed the action and barrel. The trigger's adjusted to 1.3 lbs unset, and 8 oz set. With factory 55 grain Ballistic Silvertips (published muzzle velocity 4050 fps), the best three shot groups I've shot so far were +/- 3/4" at 200 yards. I took it to the range yesterday, but the best I could do was about 1" groups at 200 yards, but I had several groups with two shots about 1/2" apart center to center, with a flier opening the groups up to 1" overall. I haven't started reloading for it yet, but I think there will be some impressive things to come. These WSSM's really shoot!
