Appreciate the offer. I HAVE NO INTENTION of loading for a gas gun. Shoot way to fast and often to reload them.
Heck, NO! That's too many "disliked" bullets by the barrel. You wanted an at least MOA rifle and that's what you should have!
If you have access to some 129 or 130s try them. But honestly if you have tried all those mentioned above and it won't shoot 1.5-1.25" groups at the very least I firmly believe you have a barrel issue. My 1 in 8 will do 1.25" with about any ammo you put in it. Way better than that with a tuner. Its bare barrel favorite is 129s.
reportedly air gauged, but still something is out of whack! maybe just bad barrel harmonics? air gauged doesn't mean the barrel is straight or straight enough. i have no experience with sanders, so no comment about them.
I have not dealt with Saunders either so no idea there. I build from scratch or heavily modify what I buy. My Grendel's are from scratch.
i change/mod the factory builds, so i decided no more factory builds and start from scratch also. this way i get darn near exactly what and the way i want it. warrantee is of no concern, but parts warrantee is different.
) way to bang. Should have left it alone. 77gr Bergers shoot well enough, and are creeping up to this in bullet weight.When it's down to accuracy and not function in AR's, most of the time it's ammo. This might be the exception in your case. Regardless of air gaging it still could be rifling.I do this enough with bolt guns...I did this for a "cheaper" (
I can't say for sure? From pre64 and early 700 models neither really looks to have what the newer 1's do?
If that is on the gun I question I do believe you found the problem. Not sure how that made it out of the shop
I've modded two small frame AR 10s. A DPMS Hunter in 308 and a RUGER SFAR in 6.5 Creed. Both turned out well and both shoot well. The SFAR shot a 3 shot group at .41 this afternoon with 38.5 Varget and 123eldm's It shot a .75 5 shot group at the factory with 143 eldx.
