My partner and I went out today to do a little range work, mostly just basic trigger time. For the most part just lying prone on the rifle comprises about 20% of our training. The majority of the time is spent shooting from barricades, standing, kneeling, sitting, stress courses, etc, you know the drill. So for today we just decided to work on some basic trigger pulling skills and shot some groups. At the end of the day we swapped rifles to simulate one of our guns going down. We do this from time to time to make sure you can shoot your partners gun in the event something would happen to your own gun.
Our Gear: Both guns are TRG 22"s. Leupy LR/TMR 4.5x14x50. Both have forend tri-rails for the UNS, and both have Harris Bipods. His has a 3.25lb trigger, mine is almost 3.75lbs. Somewhat the same, and again somewhat different. LOP on both about the same, stock spacers are equal. He runs the 1/2" spacer in the comb and I run none. Scope height is a minor issue for both of us. The biggest difference in the two guns is barrel length, his is factory 26" and mine is cut to 22". Both wear the TRG brake. My round count just shy of 6000, his just over 4000.
Our ammo: Factory 168 gr HPBT Federal Match
Conditions: Weather was good, light breeze straight into our face, overcast and 67 degrees.
After about an hour of shooting groups we swapped guns and decided to each shoot a group. Well it started with 3 rnds, then 5 rnds. We each kind of looked at each other and had like a Forrest Gump moment and decided to just keep shooting. Both groups are for 10 shots.
His gun had 30 thru the barrel before the group, mine had 40. Both barrels were hot, not like egg frying hot, but hot enough. Both groups were shot just over 2 minutes. I shot from the bipod in soft earth, he shot off a pack.
The groups were shot on 1.25" diamonds (edge to edge). My group is the high right one, measuring ctc .571, and his is the low left at .597.
I'm assuming the groups are off center due to gun/shooter differences, but both good enough for Gov't work.
Overall the guns just plain shoot, and that's why we love em.
