I have an .308 AR with a stainless 16" barrel. It also has a good double stage trigger. The accuracy is good, but what can i do to make it great? All input is welcome but low cost options and DIYS are what Im really asking about! Thanks!

I am assuming you arent shooting the Tulammo or anything else cheap...
try different ammo - I would start with the under $20 Federal/Winchester/Remington stuff and then move on up to the more expensive stuff.. Just curious - what AR? I am seriously interested in the DPMS 308 Compact Hunter (16" free floated barrel, collapsable stock, 2 stage trigger) also what type of accuracy are you getting at what range? Brian |

It's all about ammo.
I had groups out of a DPMS LR-308 and Bushmaster BAR-10 go from 5-6" at 100 yards down to .75 inches at 100 yards just by switching ammunition. Practice helps too, making sure you have good form, good trigger pull, and a nice stable shooting platform. |

Let Bill Springfield triggers tune that trigger to 3 lbs singe stage  I'm about the send a RRA 2 stage trigger to Bill Springfield to have lightened up. I'm considering sending 2. I'm nervous about sending both, but I should probably just do it and get it over with. |

Brian I only shoot shit ammo like TUL on occasion when I wanna plink. But I know it loves Remington match 168gr. it will shoot 1.0-0.7 moa with that. Probably better with someone else behind the gun. It's a CMMG MK-3 16" stainless barrel in FDE with a Nikon 4-16x42SF for now. Later a vortex maybe. I love it and it really has great accuracy with good ammo and ok accuracy with poop ammo. It's light too. I'll post pictures of it later |

I would never have believed a semi could group like that until I did it myself on the first try. 168 SMK handloads. |
