    Stock CZ 455 Tacticool accuracy testing

    I shot two weekends ago at my home range in Billings, MT. The temp was 23 degrees. Very light wind into my face. I was shooting steel. I used my auto match and target ammo. With both I shoot groups at over 400 yards that I could have covered with a chew can. As to the flex in the stock I’m...

    What is a reasonable accuracy expectation?

    I bought an LWRCI SPR years ago and with hand loads I get 3/4 to 1/2 MOA with hand loads. I will say that it’s exceptional in my opinion.

    6.8 SPC - owners / users chime in

    I can see how that would be confusing. I’ll clarify quickly. I purchased a complete upper from RR. I built the lower. I then had to chase the demon through the gun. I started by experimenting with buffers, and moved through the lower components. Then I had to tear apart the factory...

    6.8 SPC - owners / users chime in

    Thanks, like I said I solved my problem. I love the 6.8 round they can take big animals clear out to 300 yards. With that said they are a tricky build and I was inexperienced which lead to a frustrating situation. I wouldn’t be afraid to build one now but that was hard won knowledge. If I...

    Use Xterminator from Ram Shot with that bullet and your group will tighten up.

    6.8 SPC - owners / users chime in

    This is a buck that I took with my Rock River upper. The barrel is from Rock River as well. It’s an 18” barrel with their stupid muzzle device that features teeth for some reason. The lower is an Aero with nice parts I won’t bore you with the list, but it does have a CMC 3.5 lb single stage in...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper PST zero stop

    If this is a Gen 1 scope then you must use shims. If it’s a gen 2 then I don’t believe that is the case and ignore my post.

    Stock CZ 455 Tacticool accuracy testing

    Thanks that’s good to know. On my lunch break the other day I sat around and shot 300 rounds. I’m stunned at how well it performs out of the box.

    Stock CZ 455 Tacticool accuracy testing

    My CZ 455 is completely stock. I did adjust the factory trigger. It’s breaking in the 2lb region. I also installed flush cups at the six o’clock and nine o’clock positions. I was carfull not to interfere with the factory free-float work. I’m not the worlds best shooter. I don’t post often but...

    DPMS Recon Review

    You are correct it is not a gen2. Thanks for the catch. I looked at the box which was mislabeled.

    DPMS Recon Review

    Intial impressions: The gun looks fairly cool. It has Magpul BUIS, a MOE stock and grip. It features a full length quad rail grip with a low profile gas block and mid length gas system. The barrel is matte stainless steal in 16 inch with a 1-10 twist rate. Every thing a boy could want, right...

    Mossburg 800a Need Help!

    I'm building a .308 for a 12year old first season hunter and his dad wants him to use his rifle. It was his fathers fathers rifle. To make a long story short the kid is very small and poor. I can't modify the original stock (heirloom) :-(. So I need a very cheap used beat up stock that I can...

    Need 7mm-08 short barrel help

    I am planning on running a can in the future. But not right away. Where I live a 500 max yard gun is plenty. Most people don't shoot well enough to need that. We get a lot of 250-300 yard shoots. And in not afraid to admit that if your not getting in and out of a truck your hiking for an hour...

    Need 7mm-08 short barrel help

    I'm looking to build a short 7mm-08. I'm going to use a 16" barrel but I wanted to know what the best twist rate would be for 139gr bullets.
