    Photos New build now complete

    Just picked it up today, and well worth the wait. Chambered in .284 Winchester, Lilja 28" barrel on a Remington 700 long action and an 8oz Jewell trigger. Bedded into a GRS stock topped off with a Nightforce 15-55 x52 competition scope. Can't wait put some lead down range!

    Semi auto accuracy.....what's the secret?

    I usually use Varget, however it is very hard to find at the moment but I do have some Benchmark I could try. The barrel is a 20" chromed lined with a 1:10 twist. I did try some Federal gold match ammo..... with the gas off it shot 2 MOA...with the gas on it was about 2.5 MOA (that is better...

    Semi auto accuracy.....what's the secret?

    Are semi autos quite sensitive to being dirty? It is not really dirty but not squeaky clean either.

    Semi auto accuracy.....what's the secret?

    I was shooting off an Atlas bipod on a seated bench and have a bag under the hand grip. I took the muzzle break off and just have a thread protector on it. I am using a Sightron SIII 8-32 scope on Burris 6 screw mounts. The jump is something I have not checked due to the fact that the rounds...

    Semi auto accuracy.....what's the secret?

    No, it's very inconsistent....sometimes the first shot it the worst. I have checked the torque on the barrel retaining bolt and gas tube as well. (I know that if they are loose it will definitely cause accuracy issues.)

    Semi auto accuracy.....what's the secret?

    I have a Robinson Arms XCR-M in .308 (piston driven) and I cannot get it to shoot a tight group. I hand load all my ammo and I can shoot 1/2 MOA groups from my bolt gun. I am currently trying to develop a load for the XCR with IMR 3031 and 168g A MAX bullets. I have tried 39.0 gr up to 43.0 gr...

    Load for semi auto vs. bolt action?

    Re: Load for semi auto vs. bolt action? That does make sense. I shot those loads today with very poor results. A 5 shot group at 100 yards that looked like 00 buck out of a 12 guage. The brass and primers looked ok though. I did not chrony the loads..... it was 0 deg. F today and I was lazy I...

    Load for semi auto vs. bolt action?

    Should the load I use use for my Rem. 700 .308 be reasonably accutate in my Robinson Arms XCR-M .308 semi auto? My 700 is a 26" heavy barrel with a 1:10 twist in an AI chassis. I can shoot sub MOA groups at 100 with 168gr. Hornady BTHP Match bullets and 44.0 gr. of Varget. My XCR-M is an 18.6"...

    Semi auto crushing case mouth???

    I would like to reload for my Rob Arms XCR-M in .308, but the case mouths are getting severly dented in when the rifle ejects them. Is this common for a semi auto? The gas preasure on the rifle is turned up to maximum as recommended for the break-in period. I did not take any pictures of the...

    New rifle

    Just picked up my new Robinson Arms XCR-M (.308) a few days ago. Havn't had a chance to try it out yet (other than 5 quick rounds when I picked it up). I am planning on loading up some ammo for it tonight. When it comed to reloading for rifle calibers, I have only loaded for my Rem. 700...

    30 shots in 10 minutes?

    Re: 30 shots in 10 minutes? I have decided to use my bolt gun. I like the comment about bringing a book to read for the remaining 6 minutes. If I can't clean up 24 plates in well under 10 mins. with a sub MOA .308......I shound probably take up bowling.

    30 shots in 10 minutes?

    Re: 30 shots in 10 minutes? Yes, the fastest time wins. My share of the steel is 24 and I need get them down inside of 4 minutes to be competitive. I would have to agree with the "shoot now.....buy more barrels later" theory. I'm sure there are companys making barrels every day. I'm...

    30 shots in 10 minutes?

    Re: 30 shots in 10 minutes? I am in Canada where we can only have a 5 round mag in our semi-autos. Back in the day when we could have 20 roung mags(1992 and earlier), I used a FN FAL .308 for this match. We used to go through around 200 rounds each in 10 minutes. It realy was not about...

    30 shots in 10 minutes?

    Re: 30 shots in 10 minutes? Thanks for the input. I have it in an ACIS chassis with detatchable mags.... but the speed at witch a bolt action can be fired is definately something to concider.
