I recently received a screaming deal on an HS Precision HTR in .308, a rifle I've wanted since my late teens.
When I was re-researching them before my recent purchase, I couldn't find a lot of info and/or reviews on them.
Figured I would throw together a quick little review for anyone who might be interested in an HS Precision.
Note- I am a nobody, don't shoot PRS, make it to the range an average of twice a month and I should probably be better at shooting than I am lol.
First impression out of the box (case) was wow. The fit and finish on my HTR is outstanding. For reference, I have two Sako TRG's and I would say my HTR is as nice or maybe a fuzz nicer than the TRGs. All the machining is clean AF, the fitment in the stock is tight, the magazine fits perfectly square in the stock etc. The action is silky smooth, much like a Sako or Tikka. The safety is a 3-position much like a Winchester model 70, each position was easy to push through while also having positive clicks / lock up. The trigger is a single stage and was measured at 3.3 lbs and it breaks like glass, no over travel, pre creep etc. The stock is quite comfortable and has a ton of adjustment and appears to stay where you want it too once adjusted. The barrel is a 1 in 12 and is what they call a tactical contour .950 at the muzzle, it came pre threaded and included a muzzle break that's blended perfectly to the barrel.
After dialing in the scope, I put a box of 168gr FGMM through it and a box of 155gr Hornady Black through it. For whatever reason it didn't seem to like the Hornady very much. Below is my best 5 shot group of FGMM with one called flyer. I'd imagine in more capable hands, it would shoot one hole all day long.
Overall I am pretty damn stoked on this rig. It ain't the fanciest or newest setup, but its for sure a shooter.
Big thanks to @JC Steel for hooking it up with one of my dream rifles.
