**ROUND4 !!** 100YARD+, 6group, 30round SHOOTOUT!

[Quarter Horse]

Supratt96, looks like your still using the Burris XTR II. Now that you've had it for awhile, do you have any further comments?

 

[supratt96]

Suprat96, that DTA sure shoots! Very impressive, good shooting on your part.

Thanks, Chance. I've been very happy with the DTA. Its actually exceeded my expectations which doesn't happen very often.

I was also very impressed with the results you're getting with your AI, especially considering the use of factory ammo. Can't wait to see what you can do with some custom loaded rounds.

I agonized for months between the DTA and the AIAX but ultimately went with the DTA. I'm sure I would have been equally happy if I had chosen the AI. Still hope to pick one up someday once my finances recover, lol. This hobby ain't cheap.

I did finally do a side by side comparison with my Nightforce 5.5-22. The Burris glass is not quite as good in terms of brightness, clarity and resolution, but it's only a small step behind. The Burris is a great scope for the money. Mechanically, it has performed perfectly. I haven't put it through any torture tests, so I can't comment on how rugged it is, but it certainly feels solid and has a great warrantee.

If the weather cooperates I will be using it in a 600 yd match next Saturday. That will give me the chance to see how it stacks up against my Nightforce 8-32 that I've been using for the last few years for f-class.

The tighter groups were fireforming loads the larger groups were shot using formed brass and doing load development. I am very pleased with this rifle i just got from TD. Looks like I may have to stick to fireforming loads hahaha.

 

[Hennig]

If you still the have the target you can follow the rules and submit it (basically date and name it, put a quarter for reference and take another picture; post a picture of your rifle as well).

I may just do that.

A 45 shot group that measured .289... that is nothing short of astonishing! You have a unicorn rifle and crazy good shooting skills. If you're not competing on a national level, you should be.

Congrats!

Great shooting Eric! You need to learn to post pictures better, but those are some outstanding groups. I just want y'all to know that this is a older AIAE with many, many rounds down the barrel. It's really hard to beat these Accuracy International rifles...man they shoot.

Nice shooting.

 

[EricG]

Ha thanks Chance, I take some shooting and interwebs lessons from you later. Gonna have to try again with another rifle soon.

 

[MoBoost]

To the top!1!!

 

[SUIScide]

This is a Remington 700 I bought here a few weeks ago. It's in a McMillan stock and has a 28" Criterion barrel with Savage type nut in 260 Remington. Using a Bushnell HDMR at 21x. To be honest the target was at 98 yards, lol, but I'm not moving the backstop! This was all load development. The three groups on the right (top) were all shot with 140 Berger VLDs. On the left (bottom) from the top down are 100 ballistic tips, 123 custom comp., then 142 SMKs

 

[SUIScide]

This is a Remington 700 with factory action/barrel in 300 blackout. I put it in an HS stock off of a 700P. That's a VX-R 2x7 scope. It isn't well suited to shooting groups as the orange circles were totally obscured. Not to bad though. All groups were shot with 125 TNTs. Shot a six round group on the lower right. Those on the left/bottom were shot w/o a can the three on the right/top were shot with my 30P in place

Both groups were shot 8/28/14

Round 5?

 

[Hennig]

Actually did this properly and just finished uploading pics! Haha, onto Round 5!?

 

[supratt96]

In an attempt to jump-start "Round 5", here is a double submission...

I finally got around to shooting my TRG-22 and my DTA SRS A-1 (both chambered in .260 Rem) side by side. What a great experience!

supratt96
DTA SRS A-1
.260 Rem, Bartlien barrel
100 yds
Top row of target dots (the 1" ones)

Sako TRG-22
.260 Rem, factory barrel
100 yds
Bottom rows of target dots (the 2" ones)

I bought the DTA thinking that if really liked it, I would sell my TRG, thought being "why would I need two tactical rifles both chambered in .260 Rem". Well, I do really like the DTA, but after this exercise, I decided I can't bare to part with my TRG after all. They are very different, yet both are equally sweet to shoot!

I fired 35 rounds from each starting with a 5 shot group from each with a cold and spotlessly clean bore, alternating between rifles after each 5 shoot group.
I used a similar load for both rifles, Lapua brass, H-4831, 140gr A-Max.

On this particular day, the TRG out-shined the DTA, but I have had better days with the DTA when it equaled the TRG in accuracy. I was shooting the TRG from sandbags front and rear. This has proven to be the most stable shooting position I have found for this rifle. The DTA was shot from an Atlas bipod and the factory monopod. This set-up has produced some really fine accuracy, but loading the bipod consistently from a bench is difficult and I believe that is why the DTA had a few fliers on this day.

Both rifles exhibited exceptionally good cold bore consistency. The group from the SRS did have one flier, but that was actually the fourth shot, not the first. Not sure what happened with that one. Again, I believe it may have been the result of inconsistent bipod loading.

Here is the six, 5 shot groups for record...

 

[MoBoost]

DTA : Average .545 MOA

TRG : Average .376 MOA

Overall average: .460MOA
