    Tikka t3 vs savage 12fv

    I am in the process of buying a rifle for my significant other as she fell in love with my old rem700 sps tactical in .223. So I'm in a toss up between these two rifles. Both would be bought in .223 rem caliber. I have narrowed it down between the pros and cons. Also, both are within $20 in...

    How to get the best accuracy and LR capabilities from my POF 308

    I have a POF 20 inch 308 and I'm curious to see what are the upgrades that I can do to increase the long-range capabilities and accuracy of this gun. My thoughts are leaning towards changing the caliber to a 260. One thing I would also like to do is to reduce the weight of the gun by changing...

    Tuning my handloads

    I'm going to do some load development for my old Rem 700 BDL 22.250. I did a lot of testing, 212 groups in 24 different bullet/powder/primer configurations, back in 1983. At that time it agg'd .379" with StdDev of .101 (5 shot groups-100yds), that was with Nosler 50gr Match which are no longer...

    Barrel heat effects POI

    I was at the range today with my .308 and noticed my grouos getting larger and had more and more flyers as my barrel got hot to the point you could barely touch it. I know it prob effects accuracy as it cooled a little but was still hot and i grouped 4 shots on the bullseye then the flyers...

    std barrel .243 accuracy

    I've been kicking around the idea of a rem700 243 for a truck gun / f class rifle. Is a heavy/varmint contour barrel necessary for great accuracy? Or can a person get a light barrel that holds moa and less? I was thinking of buying a youth sps so that it would have a 20" brl and upgrade the...

    AR-10 Accuracy

    For those with AR-10 (.308) experience, what kind of accuracy can be expected if using handloaded quality ammo (top end bullets, Lapua cases, etc.) at ranges from 100 to 600 yards, and maybe 800 yards. I would be using components such as a Geissele trigger and Krieger barrel. I always wanted a...

    SAKO QUAD ACCURACY

    OK, I'm interested in the SAKO Quad and I know some of you have built up some fine examples. I would like to see some targets of just how they shoot with famous brand barrels. This is a standard group shot at 50 yds with my 40X on the USBR target which most of you know is a tiny bull. I'm...

    14.5" POF 308MRR Accuracy

    Just out of curiosity how accurate would a 14.5" barrel be on an AR?? Would they be accurate enough to consistently hit your intended target out to 600yds?? The reason Im asking is I have come across one for a really good price and I happen to like POF's products just dont know if it'd be worth...

    Best out of the box accuracy on a .223

    Hello all, I'm thinking of picking up a bolt action .223 for hunting and target shooting out to 400-600yds and was hoping for a few suggestions. I'm on a budget around $600 and would like find a gun that just plain shoots (MOA or less on factory match ammo) without a whole lot of customization...

    Knights SR-25, MK11Mod0, M110 accuracy vs customl

    I've read from several posts, especially LL's first hand observations of the Knights Mk11's and M110's lack of accuracy after some time, Suppresor discussion excluded. I'm a fan of Knights and their products are nice, but overpriced in my opinion, 7k+ for a Mk11 and 14K+ for the M110 package. I...

    Are accuracy nodes always the same velocity?

    I have found one accuracy node for my 6.5x47mm Lapua using Berger 130g VLDs. Since they are on back-order, I've decided to test some Hornady 140g A-Maxs. The accuracy node for these A-Max rounds happens to be the same velocity as the 130g Bergers. More powder of course, but the same velocity...

    DPMS Sweet 16 Accuracy?

    Looking for feedback on a Sweet 16. I have a 24" Shaw barreled AR that is a tack driver. I am interested in something just as accurate, but with a shorter barrel. Is 16" too short? Does anyone have experience with one? What kind of accuracy do you get? Looking for something to shoot...

    Any opinion on which produces a more accurate rifle? And which is less sensitive to carbon buildup?

    How much accuracy from various positions?

    Ok I have dug through all the threads and have found several posts relating to absolute accuracy in .22s. Most of it seems to be centered on selecting the correct ammo and reading the environment really well due to the inherently poor BC and low speeds of the .22. How well does everyone do in...

    Gunsmithing Sako 75 accuracy

    I have a Sako 270 WSM, had the rifle for about 5 or 6 years. Finally took it out to shoot with handloads and factory. It will put first two shots into almost one hole @ 100 yaards. Then it starts walking all over. It is stainless with synthetic stock. On my 700, I torque front screw to 60 inch...

    M1A accuracy tips

    So as a self-consolation present to myself, I bought this rifle last November: It's spent most of it's life sitting in a hard case with an Aimpoint mounted on the forward rail, with maybe 100 rds put through it, but about a month or so ago, I randomly got hooked on it, and I've been...

    300 WSM hunting load accuracy??

    I did a search already for this topic but it didn't turn up the info I need. Basically, I have a 300WSM (custom rifle) with a 1:10 twist barrel. This rifle shoots sub .5 MOA at 100 yards with Sierra 180 MK bullets. The problem is every time I try hunting bullets the groups open up to 1.5-2.0...

    ~140gr in any 6.5mm, accuracy

    I am hearing from a mate, that a gunsmith has told him that no 6.5mm will shoot a 140gr as well as a 120/130gr... it seems illogical to me... as long as you have sufficient twist it seems like there should be no reason why a 120/130 would shoot better. So, how does your 6.5mm (any) shoot with...
