Thanks elfster. I have several RRA barrels and they all have been very accurate. My last two builds by BigShot have been so solid that even I can't screw things up. Mostly. But heck, you have to admire the shooters here on the Hide for their skills. First to last on these challenges usually...

I use the TPS TSR (Med. Steel I think) on my AR's and am very happy with them. If I'm going with a one piece detachable, then I use the M&A flat top scope mount available at Brownells. Very solid and well machined. They always seem to align very well. They hold zero, and they're not expensive.

Here's my entry. Had a fun time. Built by San Diego smith Tyler Black. 20" RRA Varmint barrel 1/8 twist AR 15 .223 shot at 100 yds. Bushie 6-24X50 G2DMR set at 20X (changed from the Leupold in the pic) Timney 3# Trigger Federal GMM 69gr. 6 groups of five shots each. Target: Tyler...

MoBoost, For consistency, you should just measure your own groups. No one here would question your honesty.

Thanks. There's some interesting history behind these Harris/McMillan M86s. Some of it (the Harris part) is kinda' weird. There are some threads on the Hide that provide more info than I can. All the parts are proprietary and apparently replacements are hard or impossible to find. Because of...

Thanks MoBoost. Appreciate you taking the time to run these challenges.

I shot this yesterday with my Harris/McMillan M86 in .308. Built back in 1994 with a Schneider barrel. Shot at 100 yards off a bench using a Harris bipod and Federal GMM 168gr. Scope is a Swaro Z5 5-25 w/BRX ranging reticle set at ∼22X. Target: 6 Groups. 5 Shots Each. 30 Shots Total. Here's...

That's a sweet looking rifle. WOA uppers always look sleek and sexy. Clean. No nonsense. Their reputation for accuracy is well deserved. Take that puppy out to 300 yards and beyond as soon as you can. Well done!

I've tried ASYM, Lapua, Fiocchi Exacta Match 69, FGMM 77 and 69, and Norma Match 77. They'll all shoot sub MOA, but FGMM 69 and the Norma Match 77 gr. seem to shoot most consistently with the Fiocchi Exacta right behind. Like LCatGA, I've found the ASYM .308 to be better than FGMM and shoot it...

I'm the other guy who made the boards over on the 1.5 MOA challenge with all 4 groups under 1.5 MOA. I also put my M21 (heavy Bushie scope, sling, magazine w/heavy adjustable walnut stock = 15.2 lbs.) on the boards here on the Hide in the 300 yard semi-auto shootout, just barely averaging under...

Yup. Just got it about a month ago. I bought it because it offered the G2DMR reticle (which I love) and it was a smokin' deal. It's currently on my RRA 20" varmint .223. It's an excellent scope, but it does tunnel just a bit from 6X-8X . Above that the image is very clean.

I've sent back two scopes for various service, including a reticle change. Leupold was always courteous and the work is first rate. Call them to verify that they can make all the changes you want. They'll give you an estimate.

My feelings exactly. These challenges have been loads of fun. Since I began shooting them I've gone from zero to shooting Master in F-T/R NRA high power matches. That's due in no small part to the demands of shooting consecutive consistent groups required to make the boards in elfster's...

The parallax adjustment went out on my 4.5-30X50 Bushnell. They sent me a new one. No questions. No hassle.

Good scopes. Good value for the dough. Here's a review I did of the ZD 4-16 RD recently. Hope this helps. On Target Review: Meopta ZD 4-16X44 RD Illuminated Mil Dot Special | Hawaii Reporter P.S. Make sure to click on the images in the article for an expanded view - expecially of the reticle.
