    Gunsmithing RPR - Barrel Replacement Advice

    I ha ve used and been very happy with the two Criterions I have used, They offer various barrel profiles and run around $500.

    Part of the finger

    The part of my fingertip that puts my trigger finger at a 90 degree angle so I am squeezing the trigger straight back. Usually that means between tip and first knuckle

    Most common cause: groups opening up?

    If you can, have a better shooter than yourself try it out. If they have similarly inconsistent groups then its equipment/ammo related. If they have consistent group sizes then it is you. For myself, I usually find that I am problem. Unfortunately

    Recommendation for shooting target to sight in the scope/accuracy?

    I just use cardboard and put about Hal inch dots on them with a sharpie. Don’t see the need of spending $ on a target to set zero.

    Length of pull? Should I go shorter?

    Either chassis or stock with spacers is the way to go. You can play with your LOP and find what works best for you.

    Rifle Scopes New scope, new mount.... maybe.

    My two cents would be...... use the qd on the ar. 1. You can easily remove scope and go to back up sights if scope fails on the AR. 2. With a qd you will probably experience a pony of impact shift when you remove them reinstall the qd. On an AR with a low magnification scope shooting at...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I have a Criterion barrel on my 6.5 RPR. It isn’t te second one I have put on it. Rifle will shoot a legit consistent .75 MOA. You can get them for about $525 and put them on yourself if you have the tools and know how. Question to ask yourself is do you want to spend another $300 or more to...

    Break-in ammo

    Just my opinion. Don’t think you have you use the good stuff to break it in. In my experience I have found that with a new barrel will see an increase in velocity with the same load until you get to around 100 yards. Not huge but enough to notice at ranges beyond 500 yards.

    What went wrong? Match question.

    Lots of good suggestions here. To add my 2 cents I find that most of the time when I’m having issues, the problem is me. I have an RPR and find that if I load the bipod a little hard it will change my point of impact. Just for fun next time your out shooting prone, shoot a group while barely...

    Upgrade Savage 10 or buy new rifle

    I have a bone stock Savage Model 11 FCNS i n .308. With handloads (178 Amax in LC Brass and Varget) the rifle is capable of consistent 1 MOA accuracy out to 740 yards. If you cherry pick groups it may look a little better but realistically its a 1 MOA gun. I also have a Exodus rifle in 6.5...

    Barrel break-in How many rounds?

    I agree with Sheldon. Break it in however or if you wish but your velocity will increase from 0 shots to about 100 shots.

    Stupid Questions on MOA bases

    Full disclosure, I have not tried this but based on my math you would need more than 20 mils of vertical adjustment to get there. Dont think you'll have it with a 20 moa base. A 40 MOA base works out to about 11.6 mils of adjustment to get to zero. You should be able to do that. If someone...

    Picking the best load from Copper Creek

    glad it is still shooting. at some point the accuracy and velocity will drop off. then you know. sometimes its a rapid drop, sometimes slow, but you will know,

    Picking the best load from Copper Creek

    Is it the loads causing the high SD and ES or is it a shot out barrel? The next barrel i shoot out I will chrono my known load on it before I pull it. See what the SD and ES look like.

    Picking the best load from Copper Creek

    Any one else concerned about the SD and ES listed on the targets? Seems awful high to me.

    Measuring 100 Yard Range-From chamber or end of barrel?

    If that 20" odd inches makes a difference in your group location you are shooting the tightest groups known to man. I wouldn't sweat it one way or the other.

    Magnetospeed vs Calculated MV

    I’m in the same boat. Mine never match. Remember that BC is velocity dependent so if you are running your load hard your BC in the program may not be correct. Try putting your crono velocity in program and adjust BC in the program to make your program match real world DOPE. This works for me.

    Rifle Scopes Does CA really matter?

    For me I only find CA to be a problem in poor conditions like fog or rain. But then it makes spotting targets tough.

    Harris foot adapter

    I use the PASS system available at CORE shooting solutions. I does have a little more wiggle in it but that goes away when you load your bipod.
