The answers will be No.

I don't know anyone with a Noveske. I do have a friend with a Larue upper. In terms of 100 yard groups it blows the doors off my PSAs and every other AR I own.

I don't recall seeing a single PSA barrel being used in the MOA challenge. They're welcome to try though.

Didn't someone awhile back do a test that showed that Noveske and PSA's FN made barrels were essentially the same barrels?
Link Posted: 11/25/2015 10:10:50 PM EDT

In.

FWIW My PSA build shoots just as good as my LWRC M6A2, but the reliability of the LWRC is supposed to be superior to the PSA.

The PSA barrels I have are all CHF FN barrels, they mil spec just that
So it would be silly to expect better than mil spec accuracy


that being said I can keep up with BCM and Colts all day long

No, but I'd be willing to lend my sub 1000 dollar (WITH OPTIC) BCM upper PSA lower 14.5" pinned and welded build for a comparison test.

Some are and some aren't. One is stainless AR stoner 18 inch in .223 wylde.

No.  My 16" Noveske Recce is way more accurate than my 16"PSA 1/7.  I have no photographic evidence.

Wasn't impressed with my psa at first but admittedly it shooting damn near moa off of bags and hasn't jammed once, took a good 5 clicks windage to get it zeroed though.

On mine I thought I might run out of windage before getting it sighted. Oh well its a truck gun and shoots fine.

Will it outshoot them? Maybe not. Will it be able to get the job done just as well as the other two? Probably, depends on what you're using it for.

I would never spend what Mr Larue asks for his guns. Nothing wrong with his prices just not important to me. Same for the late Mr Noveske's offerings. I don't believe in paying a premium because the accuracy is good enough for my needs. My PSA shoots as well as my Colt. Never failed me and is as accurate as I am.

Wow another defend my purchase thread
A expensive boutique brand with some in house machining vs a mostly parts company that puts together different grades of uppers ( premium,ptac,freedom )
Vs a full blown machine shop that makes pretty much everything in house.
       
      Give them all a level playing field with good ammo and my money is on the LaRue.
IMO two different AR rifle brands with the exact same CHF barrel same chamber etc will most likely shoot damn near the same.
  Now I'd say that one brand may be a hell of a lot more consistent but the other you can by three for the price of one .

No idea but my 10 and a half inch PSA  will bust clays all day long at a hundred yards with Wolf and irons.

My RAR in 22lr had a fudd screaming @100M shots.  I made it look easy

My PSA does around 1.25" groups (FF DD rail & 16" SS barrel) with any premium I have ran through it.  I can't get anything to group below 1.25".  It's funny because the cheap AE does 1.5" groups.

I won't bitch, got it last Black Friday as a Christmas present, it was a great price, and is a good plinker.

My Noveske is more accurate than both of my PSA's. But my RRA R3 is the most accurate AR I own.

Mil spec is a standard. It does not necessarily define minimum tolerances-but usually limits the maximum tolerance allowed.





I have shot a few ar's. I have 1 that could probably break clays all day long at 100 yards.  I only have that one because it is super light weight (it has m1 sights).  Any other ar 1 keep better do a hell of a lot better.  Hell, my 44/40 lever action can do that with iron sights.

My larue is not set up for the challenge, but I would be amazed if it out shoots my RRA varmit rifle (but I will carry the Larue 9/10 times because that RRA is a heavy beast.

Exactly...in most real world scenarios like shooting a coyote, it's not the .5" greater group size that makes the difference.  Obviously the longer range you get, the more that .5" will be magnified.

But most of the time, the man makes more difference than the weapon.

My larues will group better with wolf steel case than my psa's with fgmm.

Don't have any noveske, so I can't say there.
Link Posted: 11/25/2015 11:26:24 PM EDT
[#42]
At 100 yards or under in my experience you can't tell a difference at all.

At 250 yards my nice guns seem to hold a very slight  (maybe 1 inch) advantage. I'm not sure if it's the barrel tolerances trigger or what.

If you're buying more expensive guns to try and get a better group you're just burning money. I'm sure there are people that can out shoot their guns, and while probably a big group of shooters think that is them, it's not

I had a Noveske/LaRue once, I traded it in for a PSA as it shot way way better.

This attitude is wrong, and it contributes to the fact that many here do not bother to try to get better.

It is absolutely easy to "outshoot" some equipment.  Of course, you would have to have some good equipment to learn how to outshoot the crappy equipment.
