It is a sample of one, but what is most interesting is the Geissele response. They state several times that he shouldn't expect high accuracy from the rifle. For $2k, that is some shit.

At least to me, that type of response would be perfectly acceptable for a $400 rifle. And I think those PTACs where pushing less than $300 if you caught them at the right time, especially the kits. |

5-shot group typical of 16” SD barrel and REBCG with G rail. Other stuff is other brands. Lower has SSA-E trigger and G buffer and fancy pants spring.
I think this was with PMC 77gr xtac something something. Attached File |

I don’t know what the G precision standard is, but I know mine is MOAish with good ammo and just an ACOG. With 77SMK and a real scope I’d be willing to bet it’d be under MOA.

yeah, those groups look nice.
but your missing the point Geissele says its not designed for accuracy, 4.5moa is acceptable |

I have a few no name barrels purchased for under $100 that shoot around 0.75 MOA or less with handloads. I would be pissed if I had spent Geissele money for a 4.5 MOA rifle…
With modern manufacturing that is unacceptable. |

Lol!! That cracked me up! The bore on many of them was so bad, that's exactly how they were described. |

Sig says 5 moa is within specs. Friend of mine bought a new 716 and it shot 5 inch groups with Federal Gold Medal Match. He called Sig and sent it back. Sig sent it back and said it was within spec. So in theory Geissele is .5 MOA better than SIG.
