(100YARD), Semi-Auto, 6groups, 30round SHOOTOUT!

Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

yeah, those gaps are amazing rifles...

now, if I could just get you to shoot that "other" rifle of yours, then all accuracy guarantees go right out the window!! LOL... so looking forward to it. Hehehehe.


<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Line-of-Departure</div><div class="ubbcode-body">No elfster, you are not wrong. When i purchased my Gap-10 it was posted on the website of 3/4 MOA. And now they have taken it down.. I wonder why that is???
If i had to guess a few knobs that dont really know how to shoot or develop loads bought one and couldn't hold that 3/4Moa. and probably filed a lawsuit or some BullS*&T like that...Its america people dont take responsibility for their own issues here...we just call a lawyer and sue, one messed up nation...

The rifle shoots.. Its a freaking hammer.. Does it hold 3/4MOA.. well obviously i didnt with my Gap-10 but i was very close.. I wont blame the gun though... I know it was my poor time/Heat management skills with lack of fundamentals practiced that day..

The gun is a work of art. I love everything about it, and I will order another GAP rifle very soon. Probably this month. George has a dream team of gunsmiths that know how to build precision rifles. If you've never put your hands on one then its a must. Immediately you will know its not your everyday AR-10..and when you shoot it, it reinforces what you paid for... </div></div>

My Stag came with a 1/2 MOA guarantee even though it only cost $872.00 including FFL fee. If I cannot consistently get 1/2 MOA. I will call them up and hold them to their word. You are right about the Stag it is a very good deal for the accuracy you can get

If you are considering a bolt action take a look at the Savage 10FCP LE 308 with a HS Precision Stock. I am very happy with mine.


</div></div>

I think that to shoot under 1" isn't that big of a deal. To go under 1/2" it takes a fair amount of shooter skill. If you can get 0.5" once and awhile, you know the gun is capable of it. By the way, you have to shoot good ammo to get that 0.5". I have done it with my reloads and Fed Gold Medal Match. With Hornady Steel Metal Match I was shooting around 0.75" at one point fairly consistently.

Your Savage, are you getting close to 0.5" or just under 1"? I really have no reason to get a bolt if semis can consistently shoot 1 MOA.

So Stag has a .5MOA Guarantee in a semi auto platform? Are you sure about this? My Custom Semi didnt even come with that....ive never heard of .5moa guarantee unless it was Les Baer or some top of the line custom maker... Not to say you wont find a diamond in the ruff with proper loads and great luck, but its hard to believe stag would guarantee every single one of thier ar's .5moa... I think i need to see this in writing...And if you prove me wrong ill go buy one for shits and giggles....</div></div>

The 0.5" promise is right on their website. I can't shoot that all the time but I do occasion. The limiting factor I believe is me and not the gun. The name GotGoodGroups is meant to be a question as in "GotGoodGroups?" LOL I really havent been shooting that long. Seriously though that Stag is an amazing piece of kit where you consider the price. It has a 24" bull barrel though.

Can you define Bull Barrel? The one on my Armalite is 20" and 0.8" thick. The Stag has a much heavier looking barrel but then again its a smaller hole. (.224 vs 308)

If rebarreling it would allow me to shoot faster and keep things consistently under 1" I would not hesitate to do it.

Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

My LMT has a "heavy" barrel or H-Bar.

DMpowder's sweet 16 has a bull barrel.

Can check out the original post top ten to see which page the rifle / pics are posted on FYI.

Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

I just looked on the Stag site. I can't find that 0.5" promise anymore. When I bought mine, I know that it was there. I was extremely skeptical and was quite shocked during the break in period.

If you shoot the wrong weight of bullet, it will only shoot about 1.5". I found 77 gr. to be about the best.

Oh, I am by no means one of these "it shoots 0.5" all day long guys". I hear you on that one. First off I am not a great shot. However I do get groups that are close to 0.5" on a regular basis. I really doubt I could shoot 6 groups in a row that are 0.5". I am guessing that my average will be somewhere between 0.7" and 1.0" though. With good ammo staying under 1" is feasible alot of the time if there is no wind. With my Armalite the 1" barrier is a challenge to stay under.

I agree with that. My only claim with my Stag is that for the money it has exceeded my expectations and would buy another gun from them without hesitation.

The bad news is that it has caused me to question the expensive custom guns. I am not really sure what one is paying for, but having said that I am considering one now.

Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

OK guys

I really do not want to sound like a blow hard. I do not have anything to prove and I do not want to prove anybody wrong. I just want to share my hobby with others who enjoy it. I do not know much about ARs and I would like to learn more with your help. If I add my 2 cents and it helps someone I will be very pleased.

I called stag customer service (860-229-9994) this morning and confirmed what the 2011 catalog has printed on page 7 (0.5 MOA Guarantee). When I called last year they told me that the 0.5 MOA Guarantee was good for any ammo but I found that Federal Gold Match works best.

I will try to make it to the range this weekend so that I can post my targets. I shoot at The Rod and Gun Club in El Paso TX.

ELFSTER1234 I will be easy to recognize. I will be the guy wit the AR taped to the bench. lol

No wonder stag took down that claim. Any ammo? What a joke.

Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

Maybe they mean if you shoot 100 3-shot groups, at least one of them will be .5MOA or better. Otherwise, someone should call and complain that their Stag rifle won't group .5MOA with Wolf 55gr.

#515
Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

223 ammo
I do not know how to post pics yet but if you follow this link you can see how ammo played a huge factor in accuracy. Federal gold Match compared to Hornady practice. I will test my ar this weekend and submit pics for the shootout.
 
#516
Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

Is this an on going thing or is it to late submit groups? I don't figure I'll be upsetting any of the top tens but I'd love to try. Also, I agree on the .5 inch all day long statement. I've had guns that were probably capable of this feat but it would take someone besides me steering them down range.

He has said a couple of times so far it is on going thing and no stop date has been set yet! So don't be pushing it off and get out there and put some lead down range.

Also why all the talk lately? Dam the last page is nothing but guys talking about their rifles and not shooting them like this thread is supposed to be for! Stop posting about what your rifle should or could do and start posting targets with your rifle doing the talking.

Remember the part in the movie Tommy boy about the guarantee on the side of the box??
 
#518
Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

That was a great movie!!! I can't tell you what Tommy Boy said but David at Stag told me on the phone today that Stag Arms would exchange the gun if it did not shoot .5 MOA for life. I will submit the pics of my test. Hopefully it does well.

Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

Finally got to shoot this and I feel like I did pretty well. I know I pulled a couple, but overall I'm happy. I don't know what was up with my first shot group(bottom left). Maybe I should have done some dry fire first.

String of fire was load six rounds in the mag so I wouldn't get a last round flyer due to the bolt locking to the rear. I'd say about 5 to 10 minutes between groups, just enough that the barrel would cool down some. Never fired if the barrel felt more than warm, the barrel never cooled all the way between groups though.


Measured center to center but it was kind of hard on the one hole groups. I know my group sizes are smaller using the outside to outside method but thought the rules were center to center so here they are.

IMG_0773.jpg



Best group
IMG_0774.jpg



Rifle is a Noveske SS 18" SPR with Geissele SSA trigger.
Optic is a CQBSS
This is the upper I used in Astan and knew it was a shooter. It held group of man out to 800, but didn't think it would post groups like this. I can't speak enough about how much I love this rifle, I definitely got a good one.

Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

Fixed, should be good to go. Also for the break in Nazis, this was broke in on a range by zeroing at 100, then banging some e-types out to 800; no cleaning in between rounds or anything like that. I think the real break in was during our first fire fight where two mags got dumped in about a minute.

Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

victory,,, first and foremost, kick ass shooting and nice rifle man!!

second, your best group is so darn small, could you please measure the group width from the widest points and deduct the caliber... hard to get a measurement lock on your group being one big hole like that... hopefully you don't mind.

hook me up with a single pic with the above note and i'll get you on the board, thanks!

Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

you almost need to when your groups get that small and I can't tell which bullet hole is which.

if you are shooting a 5.56 / .223,,,,,,,,,,,,,, then you would deduct .224 from the group width

Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

It's still sporting my overseas paint job. I bought this upper and optic on my own dime before the deployment because I wanted to have another took in the tool box for me and my guys. I was planning on selling it when I got back in the hopes of recouping the cash, but have decided to keep it and will hopefully give it to a son one day. Figured the rifle I wen't to war with would be pretty cool thing to pass down. Was going to buy a Colt lower and Gemtech can like I used, but said screw it. Went with a Templar and Noveske lower. I don't want to pay for a select fire trigger, so that would never be the same, so figured I could give in other areas too if it wasn't ever going to be 100%.

Thanks for the compliments and thanks for the thread, it was fun and glad I tried it. Shooting groups usually isn't my thing, but I wanted to see what the gun and I could do. Pretty sure I was the weak end of that scenario.

Next time I am going to do the 100m bolt challenge with my factory M70, should be fun.

Re: SemiAuto, 6 groups, 5shot each, 30 round SHOOTOUT!

Victory had me a little worried so I had to go back out but this time with a different load.

Had I done my normal warm up with the .22LR I would not have blown that first group and I would have had the .5 crown!
mad.gif
Oh well maybe once the cold front passes over. Way to dam cold to be out shooting paper that was for sure.

Avg is .459
Best is .197
Moved me up a tiny bit more!

Load was 55gr HPBT #1390's with 25grs of Benchmark loaded at 2.240 OAL.

This time I measured with the caliper zeroed at .224 so I wouldn't have to do more math and I thought I would give it a try as I have never measured groups like this.

Last 2 targets I tried a different aiming point and the first try it worked pretty good but I blew it on the second time. Still trying to find that perfect target!
100_0571.jpg


Rounded up to .197
100_0574.jpg


And just to show you how fun it can be to find your true measurement. I could have easily claimed this but since Elfster said we had to be honest. Goes to show you your one hole group needs to be measured from all sides and every which way you can. Same group as above with the caliper still zeroed on .224! Always take the bigger number

I think it is safe to say my LMT is not going to even come close to this. Also, I think this just proves to everyone how damn hard getting the .5moa crown really is.. My god, you came damn close bro!

Good for you and Thank you for your service.

Re: (100YARD), Semi-Auto, 6groups, 30round SHOOTOUT!

Nice shootin' hunt1!
I hope that I can get even close to that sometime soon. I just picked up my new 24" DMPS LR-308 yesterday and spent some time today cleaning it and getting ready for the range, in between chores...

I've no trigger time on it other than a bit of dry firing, but am jonesing big time to get an hour or two at the range. The waiting is tough, but it is what it is.

Thanks to all who have posted their targets. This is inspiration!!

I hope to be able to post my pics in a week or so (crappy a they may end up...don't care).

I shot these groups today with DPMS 24" .223 using factory Fiocchi 50gr vmax ammo. I shot prone using a front bipod and a rear bag. The rifle has a Wilson 3g trigger and a Nikon scope. </div></div>

Re: (100YARD), Semi-Auto, 6groups, 30round SHOOTOUT!

Finally got the chance to try this today. I ended up shooting 2 targets with the same gun so I will post results of both targets. Not too bad, but after the first 2 groups I thought you guys were in trouble until the wheels fell off a little.

Just finishing up some load development on a 6.5CM and was out shooting some of the first rounds through another 6.5 CM upper I just finished. I hope to give one or both of those a try before this ends.

Shooting a 223 originally built by MSTN. I changed out the upper receiver and added a carbon handguard.

Re: (100YARD), Semi-Auto, 6groups, 30round SHOOTOUT!

just an FYI everyone... <span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">ctsmith</span></span></span> actually got .5moa or less on all 6groups @ 100yards if you wondering what you're groups would look like... first person on sniper's hide to do it as of today regardless of rifle action (yes, i understand it is easier for a bolt action before you say anything). prob some of the most consistant shooting i've seen so far:
