That's good real world velocity.
How do you like that chrono? Easy to use or setup-sensitive? Sky condition sensitive?

Love it, gives good, accurate data. Not sensitive to much at all, very easy to use and doesn’t require light. Takes a minute or two to get it setup but way less trouble than setting one up down range or on a tripod. It was between this and the Lab Radar but this seemed to be the more durable option. Perfect for my needs.

on the mounts for left hand I have not looked at a PEPR in a long time, could you reverse the bolts? I have no clue. Probably not. Its just a thought. I know you can't reverse the mount....
RE the comment about white lettering on something that bothered someone... thats pretty easy to take care of in my mind right quickly without any issues, cost or effort if it really bothers one that much.

Here are a couple of groups. The first picture was from a 300 yard target shot at a NRA high power match. The pasted hole is from a sighter. The 10 ring is 7" in diameter, so the group is less than 2 MOA. The ten shots were fired in less than 70 seconds from a magazine with two rounds and a second one with eight rounds. This was shot at the Palo Alto range in Donaldsonville. The second picture is similar but from a CMP leg match at Bayou Rifles near Houston. There are no sighters in these matches. Wind was right to left and I put a little too much on the scope. 9 out of ten were definitely under 2 MOA with the 10 round pushing it a little over 2 MOA. This group was fired similar to the first one except you start standing in this match and go in to position and fire two and eight, all in 70 seconds. It is hard to get pictures of targets during the matches, this one I shot on the second relay and went to the pits immediately after to pull targets. I have shot better groups just do not have pictures. The third picture is of my gear. It was taken on a different range. I shoot a WOA upper with a Shilen 1-8 barrel, 4.5 power Night Force, Geiselle trigger, handguard, and scope mount. The lower is an Aero Precision that I assembled. I also built the range cart myself. It is similar to the one Creedmoor sells. The above targets were shot using a leather sling, in a prone position.

Good old thread. Mike, cool pics. When you get some time, you should shoot this challenge with your rifle.

Saturday night I killed a big boar with my AR10. Still need to do some load development in a couple of other rifles

MM, you got the same idea I do. It's getting to be good shooting weather. Not that I don't shoot in the crappy stuff too, but this is a fun challenge that needs to be brought back to the top. After I get the PRS on my new AR10, I'm going to be giving it a go with that rifle... .... Even if it shoots like chit, I'm posting results....

Yep, its new. The scope is actually very good. Ive had it on my noveske and it works great. Ill get the ar7.62 version for this 308. I havent fired this armalite yet. Picked up some federal gold medal match the other day for $22/box. Wish me luck..

It has the 20" target barrel. The scope is the cheaper AR 556 model. Has the windplex reticle. By no means high dollar or special, but it works. The original owner said this AR is just as accurate as his precision bolt gun.

You got wheels for it? Looks like it might not be a walking-around piece. But with that heavy barrel, I imagine it will shoot very well. MM

thanks. Its really not that heavy for an ar10. Most that ive looked at, were a lot heavier than my ar15's. Id like to get out and shoot it. I also knew where a small stash of lapua brass was. I called the shop owner up today and asked if she still had it. Some guy had it on consignment: 56 new pcs in the box for $30.....
