Just stirring it up
I've since read the thread. OKAY you critical fucks, I'll be watching your posts and return in kind when the time is right!
When I stated I stand by my post, all of it, I meant that he's going about it all wrong!
I was pissed for a while but I realise Dicks will always be Dicks, of course you can't help it, and some triple down on 308 BUTT licking on a constant basis.
My advice is the best fucking FANTASTIC advice in this entire thread!!!! BTW it's advisable to get that circle jerk cum out of your eye so you can see straight for once! And here's why. The OP wants a 1/4" gun, this is his quote from earlier in the thread and hereon if you see quotes it's the OP's words -
""I wanted a 1/4 MOA rifle"". Well first of all what the hell is he trying to shoot 1/4 MOA off a bipod with a tactical rifle using factory ammo, lol. Again no offence to the builders in this thread but let's be real here because even the top 6mmPPC short range BR shooters don't find it easy agging .25 MOA in average winds and this is off a solid benchrest, etc, that they use. Get the right tool for the job man!
Well since the OP threw me under the bus with his LIKE, due to peer pressure maybe, I'll take a few jabs, because who the fuck spends -
"""Over the next 6 months or so I spend countless hours pouring over the rifle and spend over a grand trying to figure out what's wrong, mostly on ammo (varying factory match loads since I do not reload)."""
Now that's just, well..... you guys can insert whatever word you want here(.....), c'mon man what's the matter with you!
In 2 boxes of ammo you should have checked all the fasteners in the system, tried a different scope, and fucking sent the rifle back if by the 4th box nothing changed. You dickheads should insert the facepalm here because that's where it belongs.
""" He shoots two groups and they are in the .6 to .8 MOA range.""" this is after the OP drives 500 miles to the smith LOL, another facepalm moment BTW. At this point you should have insisted on getting your $ back or SOLD THE DAMN RIFLE! Good grief think of all the shooters out there that would love this rifle as, BUT NO, the months are still going by.
OP it's by pity that Mike stepped in, also maybe hoping for some extra business, aye, and what better advertising is there!
''""Any help/advice/well-intentioned-comment is greatly appreciated""" Apparently not so
! I'm going to laugh my ass off when you still can't shoot 1/4 moa afterwards.
Here's my quote - Bart, the guy that makes those bullets shot the 600Y BR record of .282" for 5 shots. I saw pics of many groups he shot at 100Y during """load developement""" that were all on the same target that were basically one large hole to a few in the 0's, most low .2's.
IIRC then going on to show enough groups to show that a long range BR rifle can agg in the low .2's in long range matches, not fucking 100 yards. And well he's won enough MATCHES to prove it.
NEWS FLASH - I looked up the high """aggregate score""" at the LAST
600Y BR match in Memphis which was 1.790", smallest group was .776" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let this sink in!
AGAIN I'm not a BR shooter but you guys that want true 1/4 moa rifles REALLY need to rethink things and quit being heard mentality ass kissers! Go get your TAC OPS and try a 600BR match with your tactical rifle in 308 off an Atlas, LOL!!!, and that's not an attack on Mike, obviously he's a great person and a top builder. Get the right tool....
