I bought one of Cooper's .308 Win Raptor rifles a few months ago. The rifle is nicely built and is accurate. I'm getting < 0.5 MOA at 100 yards accuracy with hand loads. It is pretty much the same as the Colt rifle Cooper makes for them. I like the short bolt throw which makes for faster...

I attended an F Class competition yesterday. The guy next to me was dry firing 3 times between each round he fired. Does anyone know why you would do this?

I'm right handed and left eye dominant. I started using R-H actions for LR and F Class competitions. It did not go well as I had to keep removing my support hand (off rear bag) to cycle the bolt. It took too much time for me to reposition my hand on the rear bag for subsequent shots. I went...

You won't be disappointed. I bought one of their 6.5 Creedmoor Tactical Match Rifles a few months ago. It is very accurate 0.100's groupings at 100 yards. The build quality is exceptional. I liked the rifle so much, I sold a few (Remington and Savage) rifles to buy another AO rifle.

Did you look at some custom gun shops? I just bought a 6.5 Creedmoor from Mark at Accurate Ordnance. Their customer service is fantastic. Their quality is outstanding and the pricing is good. It is by far the most accurate and well built rifle I ever owned or shot. I've been a 30 caliber...

Did Accurate Ordnance build this?

I bought one of their Tactical Match Rifles in 6.5 CM a few months ago. The rifle is wicked accurate. I loved the rifle so much I bought another one in 260 Remington. You will love their work. Mark is a great guy and their customer service is fantastic. The only thing I regret is I wish I...

I need help deciding on a barrel length for my upcoming 260 Remington build. I have viewed many pics and read many posts for precision rifles and their varying barrel lengths and configurations. I want a custom built rifle in 260 Remington that is an accurate compact rifle. I'm not to...

I signed up for the Black Hat course. It looks like it is still open for registration (via their website) for this fall. Black Hat training (BLACK HAT TRAINING CORPS | The Finest in Long Range and Tactical Rifle Training)

Thanks for the useful information. Do you recommend a match grade die set brand for a 6.5 Creedmoor? I have an Accurate Ordnance 6.5 CM and want to maximize the accuracy of my reloads using a higher quality die set (other than the basic RCBS set) if it will make a significant difference.

I just purchased my first 6.5 Creedmoor and am reloading. I purchased a set of RCBS full-length resize die and seating die. Hornady sells match-grade dies that have interchangeable neck sizer bushings. My question is what's the difference between the two and am I going to get that much more...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]44149[/ATTACH[ATTACH=CONFIG]44150[/ATTACH That is the same lot for the two boxes of this crap I bought ($60). Groupings were horrible in my Accurate Ordnance 6.5 Creedmoor. Today I shot part of the second box with the same horrible groupings as the first box. I then shot my...

You will not be disappointed with your rifle. I got my Tactical Match Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. Best rifle I own (by far). Their customer service is top notch.

Does anyone have experience with 140 grain SMK BTHP? If so, are they as good as 142 gr SMK's? I have a box of these and wanted to start a good load workup. I cannot find any any 142 gr SMK's. Any suggestions for load workup with these?

I just purchased my first custom tactical match rifle from Accurate Ordnance. My experience was so good with AO and Mark I wanted to mention them again on the Hide. Mark went beyond my expectations replying to my questions and ensuring I was making a good purchase for my needs. The build...
