Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Been working with this CTR

and the damn thing is not picky at all. Check this out:

Some of the first groups. I couldn't find the lands on this one. Has a Linda Lovelace throat, but it doesn't seem to matter. Here are some of its first groups. I haven't done anything to it, except for put a Nightforce SHV 5-20X56 on it... Seems like a damn promising shooter:



Here's a pic of the rifle:


More recent targets:

I only fired off 10 of these in preparation for a centerfire shoot the following day.

Here's how she did at that shoot. This in the group I fired with no fouling shots. However, it was slightly fouled from the day before. Barrel was cold though. The loads I was using were short OAL (2.800") so I could use them in the M&P 10 6.5 performance center:


I don't think I could be any happier about the performance of this one. She's a keeper... Oh by the way, the performance center shot a 100-8x and a 100-7x as well.....

Oh and the lightweight (6 pound) Steven's 200 22-250 performed well that day too:


This in a picture of the Stevens from about a month ago..


All in all, a damn good shoot.....

How are you liking that Nightforce?
At 100 yds, what kind of detail can you see on the target?
How long have you had it?

I love the nightforce. The best way to describe it is i have no regrets in buying it. The clarity is the best ive seen. Ive had some other fairly expensive scopes, like Swaro and Trijicon, but sent them down the road. I even like the SHV and NXS better than my buddies s&b PMII. The clarity is just better to my eyes.

better than a S/B says a bit IMHO.

My eyes are weird, but to my eyes the Nightforce scopes are both crystal clear.

Nice!

I think a guy could do a lot worse than a CTR/NF combo. Probably good odds of it working without a lot of fuss. Good shooting there also!

Thanks guys. I think its a keeper.

My CTR 308 and T3x 6.5 Creedmoor shoot bugholes all the time. Terrific rifles.

what bullets are you using over the 4350? I have the same rifle with a 2.5-10 NF on it.

I think I need to get one of those.

I found a great deal on another one. I might have to buy it... Ha ha..

I've been running 140 ELD match bullets, because they seem to be a pretty good accurate bullet in my other 6.5's. I've been thinking about trying the scenar's though. Not much to complain about wtih the performance of the Hornady pills though.
