I don't have much financial smarts when it comes to firearms . I have some coins dropped into these 2. Almost the same cost as the rifles... but, I can't leave well enough alone. Anyone else have the same fliction?  Ti bolt and bolt and handle, billet cocking piece and Ti shroud. 556 will group 1' At 100y with Lake City 55gr and 7.62x39 groups 1.25" at the same distance with Golden Tiger. I have not tried different ammo yet. Trigger pull is right at 3lbs

Also replaced bolt handle and knob, shroud, cocking piece, have decent glass. None of that helps your groups. There's hope for the 556, I handload 223 with 55gr grain fmj or hp, I do and get .5" groups, usually a tad less at 100yd with CFE223 or Vihtavouri N530. It also seems to like factory Hornady Black 75gr in 223 for some reason, not the 556 box. I can't seem to duplicate that with a handload so stocked deep on boxes of that. Groups just a little more than .5" occasionally a little less but still acceptable. 300BO just started reloading for, loves 220gr subs, .25" to .5" group at 50, i'm working my way out further, would like to get it out to at least 100yd using 220's. Both rifles have cans 100% of the time. Lightened the triggers up as lite as they go. These are not noted for extreme accuracy but you can improve things with the right ammo, you will never make a difference with bling on these. Still I like both of mine, fun to shoot. All my loads run just fine in my AR's also BTW |
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like your opinion man

| I did the triple play, 556, 762x39 and 350L. Either factory loads or my load shoot 1-1.5 in the 350L suppressed at 100. I get 1 inch at 100 with my redneck matches in 762x39 suppressed. The 556 running a Optimus micro with my fusions currently is my Okie deer rifle. |
