Will do. When I set it up I'll run two or three types of ammo through it.

I found I used to think that way also, but if you know how to shoot, its just easier to shoot with a better trigger, but it rarely changed my group sizes much.

what makes you think I know how to shoot?

It's kind of obvious... .... I'm going to be pulling a card out of my sleeve tomorrow... It starts with STAG... I lucked into something kind of interesting today...

For anyone looking for a nice 308 upper, I am parting with my custom MEGA 308.

Alright, you guys warned me these things would start multiplying like jackrabbits!!!!!!!! I haven't even had a chance to put my first AR in the safe with my bolt guns and now I have a SECOND AR. ... I'm wanting to shoot this event with both rifles today, but my new rifle has a funky target style grip on it. I plan on using front and rear bags and not the grip as a rest, or is a rear rest or palm grip allowed. I went back to page 1 trying to read all the rules. My new rifle is a left hand Stag 6HL upper in a Bushmaster lower. I'm hoping it shoots as well as it looks!!! It kind of fell into my lap and figured I should buy it since I shoot lefty. Pretty damn good deal too. Bore looks sweet and trigger is pretty smooth. I'm still loving my first AR though, as that set-up with the ACS stock is exactly what I have been looking for. I'll be heading to the range here shortly. I will post pics of how my new loads work out too. I also bought some TAC-X made by PMC with 77gr. sierra matchkings yesterday too, that I want to try out. Having a hell of a time typing though, smashed my trigger finger between the case mouth and press lastnight around 10:00 pm when I got in a hurry

That's a great deal on a very, very nice upper with top shelf parts.

If I were in the market for a 308, I'd be on that like a bad smell.

Alright, here's my new rifle submissions:

Just bought this one yesterday:

Stag 6HL (left hand upper) 1:8 24" heavy barrel with a bushmaster lower
unknown trigger (I'll have to pull it out and maybe see if it's a timney??)
PRS stock,
Ergo tactical grip that I'm going to be replacing
Nikon Buckmaster's 6-18x40 in Leupold MKII mount



Here's the range: 100.5 yards according to the laser:

Shooting from my crappy work table that I converted to my portable bench....

First groups from the rifle. Figured I'd throw some of my handloads in the rifle just for chits and giggles:



Looks like about a 1.179 moa average to me... I really like this rifle. The trigger is sweet and the rifle just wants to please. Now I need to learn how to shoot it. I'm going to be replacing that damn pistol grip, as it just gets in the way.

Here's my Rogue Defense from today:


Shot the same handloads in this rifle as I did the Stag above:






I really like this rifle. The trigger is not as good as my new rifle (stag 6HL), but it works well enough. Speaking of the Stag, here's the last group I shot with that rifle today. It's a handload with 25.2gr. of RL15 and the 69gr sierra I wanted to see how well these rifles liked that load before I left the range and she looks pretty good:

This is not a submission group, just the last group fired for the day:




You can probably guess what load I'm going to try next in this AR challenge.... Hint hint...

I'm going to be leaving in a bit to get a rifle case for my new AR, what is the best grip for this kind of shooting???? Any help mucho appreciated. Thanks!!!!!!

Nice shooting bsa! Those stag 6s seem to do mighty fine.

Good move on the stag. Shoot that thing proper and there will be 3 of them in the top ten;)

That says a lot for the stag doesn't it. I'm loving that rifle man. I know a couple of you guys PM'd me and said to buy a Stag, way back when I was trying to decide which one to get. I'm happier than hell this one fell into my lap. The only thing that sucks about it, is now I have brass on each side of the bench to pick up now... I really like the new el-cheapo Rogue Defense built here in Oregon too....

I'll be trying that 25.2gr RL15 load again pretty soon.. It looks like it shows promise.. Just bought another couple boxes of those 69gr. sierras, and new grip for the stag.

Sounds Like I need to revisit the Armalite and see if I can improve it

That Armalite doesn't weigh enough............gottta get something more around 10-11 pounds like the Stag.

Or have GAP build you one...................

MM

MM they're not heavy, just big boned;)

Laughin' here...........................

Maybe we need 2 classes of rifle.............those you can carry around with you & one that you need a set of wheels for.

MM

I don't mind the weight... It's really not that bad and besides, this is an AR challenge for shooting groups at targets, not running around a course and firing at stuff... If they want to start a positional shoot like Carl Ross did a while back in the rifle forums, I'm game...

I'm extremely impressed with how well you shot that armalite. Went back and read through the posts again and that's great shooting tex!!!

Thanks - I shot those groups with the 77gr TMK - I have some 77gr Berger OTM, that shot better in other rifles, so I think I'll give them a run as well.
