They are accurate enough. My tired old eyes get 3" groups w/ round ball at 75 yards. I was bothered by the toed of the stock digging into my shoulder when I shot it. I took off the buttplate and toe plate and cut the point off just ahead of the rear toe plate screw hole. I had to shorten the toe plate and drill another screw hole, straighten out the buttplate to match the wood and do some fitting to get the wood and metal to match. Then I sanded the whole stock down and finished it with Linspeed. It is pretty, and a pleasure to shoot. The modification was easy to do with hand tools.
