You're allowed to have that much awesomeness in New Joisey? Non-collapsible stock, pinned muzzle device, and 15-round mag limit  . But otherwise the OBR still rocks the ranges here.

OK, I am hoping twice on one target will suffice. This was during load workup of a 77smk load over Varget with CCI 400 in WW brass. The gun is a 16" Tobr 5.56. I have already shot 2 deer with it so it has "paid" for itself already!
FWIW, the trigger in this gun is one of the nicest I have ever shot! Thanks LaRue! |

Check that group on the left, it looks a wee bit bigger than .483" ... ETA - Wait, this is the OSTS thread and it looks like you overshot on top our Shootist's group. You smoked it and you're good to go. 
ETA 2 - Go shoot that rifle in the " 1 MOA Challenge " , you'll kill it. |

Yes sir, that is my group next to the shootists group. I'll look at the 1 moa challenge. I have not read about that one. |

image upload After a few shots to get my scope set I shot this group with my new 18" MG barrel. I was pretty please with this being my first group shot with the barrel. 
imagur I wanted to do an experiment that I thought I would share as well. After shooting the first group I took off the match grade barrel (installed at the factory) which was easier said than done. The barrel nut was torqued more than I expected. I then installed my field grade 16" barrel and shot the next group. Then I took off the field grade barrel and put back on match grade barrel and shot the final group. I was not able to torque the barrel nut down as tightly as it came from the factory on the two barrel swaps by hand so that is a difference here. I made no other adjustments. These 9 shots were shot in a row in a period of roughly 10 min. Overall I am pretty pleased. The third group is about the same size at the one on the test target from the factory (maybe a hair larger) and the group I shot with the FG barrel is under an inch by my measurement. The ammo I was using is some Lake City manufactured stuff with 175 gr SMK bullets (I was told) that I picked up in a trade a while back. I have some FGMM I plan to try out next. I am excited to see what I can do with some hand loads and some more trigger time. I may also play with the barrel nut torque some to see how much of a factor it really is on this rifle. |

Received my match grade barreled upper yesterday. It came with a .540 test target. I took the rifle out today to sight in and was very impressed. I don't have a scanner, nor a way to calculate the measurement. So if someone would kindly figure out my targets grouping and let me know if "I Outshot LaRue's Shootist" it would be greatly appreciated! Disregard, I went and bought a digital caliper. Rifle is an 18" 7.62 OBR with a NF 3.5-15X50 F1 w/H59 reticle, FGMM 175r ammo.

Good things come in 3s. The last three 3s are quite pleasing to the accurist's eye.
And Constant Impingement's .305 fit's in real well.
