Range Report! .5moa at 200 yards

[adm09_003]

Well went to the range yesterday to try out the new stock. I put on the Choate Ultimate sniper stock and it did wonderfully! I went from average 1 moa at 100-200 to .5 moa at 200 yards! I havent even beaded the stock yet... +1 for the Choate stock! Great buy for $190!!

200 yards with 168gr Federal Gold Metal Match

Awesome! Glad the stock worked out for you. How did the monopod work or did you use it?

Sounds like you had a good trip. Just realized you are from Canton. Long drive to shoot.....did you shoot at 1k? I'm in Tyler but have never been to that range.

Great Shooting. I would check your groups at 100 and if your are satisfied why bother bedding it. I wouldnt want to risk it. Looks like you arleady have a good shooter.

Re: Range Report! .5moa at 200 yards

Thanks yall! I am from canton but im stationed in Shreveport so its only like a 30 min drive. I did use the monopod on the buttstock and it worked great on the binch, gave me a solid rest. All in all it was a good shooter!

Re: Range Report! .5moa at 200 yards

Now is it just me or is everyone else wondering what kind of groups this man would shoot with a high quality custom rifle if he can do that with an SPS?? Great to hear the stock worked out for you!

lol Thanks for the complement JCas45. Consistency is key! It just feels like only the guys with custom rifles with decent groups get credit around here...just my observation. But thank you

All too often those who have these "high quality custom rifles" forget that the nuts behind the bolts are more often than not responsible for the size of groups.

ADM09_003 is a trained and practiced marksman..... I would be surprised if he COULDN'T perform at that level with any decent rifle.

Nice shooting ADM09_003, glad to see someone shooting the lights out without dropping 6 grand on a stick.

Congrats on your stock and success.

You are very welcome my friend! Guys around here post up the biggest and most expensive rifles they can buy and how good their rifles can shoot but as soon as I saw your signature and what you were able to do with that SPS I was instantly impressed. You are the definition of a marksman and I hope someday to be able to shoot half as well as you sir. Your son is a lucky boy to grow up with the teacher he has. Thank you for your service and stay safe.

Good shooting. You better watch it or your son will take a liking to that shooting iron and you will be looking for a new one. Z

Re: Range Report! .5moa at 200 yards

Good shooting no doubt, but put 5-10 rounds in that target and see how tight it stays.

A good blend of man and machine, young man.

We seem to forget that our sport, when brought to it's zenith, is the melding of the man and his weapon and its projectiles.

Without the weapon, the user is useless. Without a good user, the weapon is useless.

Now, learn to control your breathing and slow your heart rate and you'll get rid of that flier.

Re: Range Report! .5moa at 200 yards

I have one of these on my varmint rifle, a c. 1988-made Model 700 Varmint in .223.

The rifle would NEVER hold a zero w. its original (wood) stock. It shot amazing tight groups w. handloads, but the POI would change with every weather change. I put it in a closet until about 2003 when I ordered a Plaster stock.

It totally transformed the rifle. It never, ever moves from zero. It has a cheapish Tasco scope on it... and a cheapish stock. But it's now a tack driver and has killed a lot of woodchucks and coyotes.

FYI, I use Calhoon bullets in this rifle (www.jamescalhoon.com) over 2230 powder and it will regularly shoot dime-sized groups at 100. The OP's rifle seems to be a .308... so doesn't apply here. But if you handload for a .223 bolt gun, try the Calhoon bullets!

Finally, there should be no need to bed that stock. Instead, invest in a set of torque wrenches and set the torques every now and then. The barrel is totally floated. The action is held in good blocks. No real need for more on that stock.

Last, you might want to file off the tops of the 'stippling' as it's pretty sharp and uncomfortable after a long day.

Cheers and nice shootin!

Sirhr

The one pictured behind the rifle? Did he shoot these groups? Great job.
