Is it Easier to Shoot Sub MOA Further Out?

I've noticed that it seems easier to shoot sub MOA the further out I move the target. Is that normal, why is that? I understand that 1MOA @ 100y is 1 inch and at 300y it's 3 inches, but I don't feel like that should make it 3x easier since it's 3x as far. My expectations were that the difficultly would scale linearly with distance.

I only have access to a range that goes out to 300 yards but I've noticed that I struggle to shoot sub MOA at 100 yards, I normally average about 1-1.25 MOA at 100 yards. However when I move out to 300 yards I consistently shoot well under 1 MOA. On average I tend to shoot around 0.3 - 0.5 MOA at 300. Tonight I somehow shot a 0.16 MOA 3 round group at 300y with gusting winds which absolutely blows my mind. I doubt I'll ever achieve that again.

I'm shooting with Horney ELD-M 6.5 Creedmoor FYI.

Gunsmithing Gunsmith said this about installing a Tikka prefit

Ok, bought a m24 Mueller 204 barrel from bugholes/Southern Precision and had them thread it for my Tikka and also chamber it. I didn’t have them install it on my rifle because they said it would take some absurd amount of time due to their backlog.

The barrel just came in the mail. Brought the barreled action to a gunsmith in town and asked for him to remove the factory barrel and install the bugholes barrel.

Note that I’ve never had anybody install a barrel, nor ever installed a barrel myself. Currently, due to remodeling my garage is full and I have no workbench or even a place to mount a barrel vice etc to change my own barrels.

He said:
  1. Removing factory barrel: “I use lead in my barrel vice to clamp around the barrel. But with Tikka barrels being on so tight, the barrel just spins in the lead. Therefore I can’t use the lead so you might have some scratches on the barrel.”
  2. On new barrel install: “Just so you know, I always have to touch up the chamber when I install a barrel (head spacing). And please bring in the stock because I want to test fire to make sure everything is safe.”
Should I be using this guy?

Why I decided to purchase an Accuracy International AXSR in 300 Norma Magnum

Initially looking at the Barrett MRAD in 300 Norma Magnum I had a chance to talk with several club members competing in our 1000-yard club competitions. Our membership is diverse and has a high percentage of current and retired law enforcement and military personnel and knowledgeable civilian shooters.

I also spoke with folks at Barrett and a national retailer selling Barrett and Accuracy International rifles. There is a lot of discussion about both rifles, especially the Barrett MRAD with some forum information that is not accurate after speaking with Barrett directly.

Several club members owned either the Barrett or Accuracy International, a few owned both. While my moderate investigation over several weeks would not qualify as exhaustive I opted to buy the Accuracy International AXSR in 300 Norma Magnum to start.

Owners of both rifles said they both shoot well, but in reviewing results of our 2024 1000 yard club shoots, the best scores were from those shooting the Accuracy International variants. This is not conclusive, as they simply may be better shooters or have superior handloads. While the Barrett owners pointed to its selection by the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and the US Army, those from the industry and military said selection by SOCOM takes into consideration many variables.

None of the previous issues experienced with Barrett MRAD rifles are known to have happened to the Accuracy International rifles and many feel that Barrett built the MRAD to meet the requirements of SOCOM, where Accuracy International builds their rifles to be the best in category.

So why does the Accuracy International AXSR cost more than twice the Barrett MRAD at retail? Both rifles perform extremely well, however many uses give the edge in precision to Accuracy International.

How good is the Accuracy International AXSR? Cal Zant of the PRS Blog took a new AI AXSR rifle with little time for load development or turning and took 4th place out of 180 competitors at a Nightforce ELR Steel Challenge engaging targets from 700 to 2,000 yards. Two of the top four shooters used the Accuracy International AXSR rifles. First place went to Jorge Ortiz also shooting an Accuracy International AXSR in 300 Norma Mag.

Of the people I personally spoke with that own either rifle, I came away with the sense the Accuracy International rifle is built by a firm where precision and quality come first. I ordered the rifle, and this is not my review of it, rather a summary of weeks due-diligence talking with club members and others that are directly involved with either rifle, rather than hearsay.

In my experience, buying a premium product is rarely something one comes to regret.

MDT ACC Elite vs Vision Pro chassis

I haven't found any threads comparing these 2 yet. Wonder if there just aren't many people who have had time behind the vision pro.

I'm in the market for a new chassis to replace my PRS-TCS. The distance from grip to trigger is just too big for my hands. I'd like to go with chassis over stock for added adjustability also. This will be used for PRS.

At first glance they look very similar. The buttstocks are different and I do like the adjustable bag rider on the vision. Price wise is very similar here in Canada. Vision is 10% more. Not sure its enough to make a difference, but MDT also has a wicked black friday sale that I could have some luck in this year making it a little cheaper. I like how the Vision is ambi, seeing as I'm a lefty, and if I decide to sell it for whatever reason I have a bigger market to sell to. I'll most likely be adding accessories to it as well, like a control bridge or weights.

Wondering what people think about the differences between the 2 and if one was a clear winner (for those who have handled both).

Stripped out action screw on a 10/22

A close family member of mine has a Ruger 10/22 that they put a Kidd barrel on and a KRG Bravo on (at my suggestion). I don't know why, but they clean it after every range trip (maybe 50 rounds when they go). I don't know what happened but they stripped out the action screw in the receiver... before they buy another receiver, is this one salvageable?

It seems to me the best option is to ream this out and tap it for the next size up, but I realize that would change the torque value needed when installing it in the Bravo. Does anyone know how to compute the new torque value needed? Also, what is the recommended torque value that KRG suggests? I don't own a 10/22 and this family member has lost the documentation.

They asked me about using a Helicoil, but I didn't think that was a great idea as this 10/22 is used for "precision" and didn't think a Helicoil was the best option for that.

Anyone have any thoughts on it before he buys another receiver?

I honestly think the best option is to buy another receiver and use that with the Kidd barrel and Bravo chassis, then tap this receiver out for the next size up, slap the factory barrel and stock on it and have a 2nd rifle (10/22 in stock form).
