Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles 24HC Black Rifle Challenge Thread

Yes, Okies okay, [I think], I'll hunt that rifle over in Arkansas too.

BSA, get her loaded up and smoke some venison.

Gunner, any luck sending 20 rounds downrange yet?

No Sir Big Buddy, have em all loaded up and ready though, would like to shoot when the winds at least below a 100.

Just shot this challenge this morning with my 308 REPR, two 10 shot groups at 100 with the scope, and for chits and giggles, one 10 shot group at 100 with the irons, had a blast!

I like shooting in the wind. It helps to blow the stragglers back into the group. Or when my groups look real chitty, I have something to blame it on...

LOL, I screw up enough without it, shooting 30 rounds with the black gun yesterday was really intense, staying focused that long can make a man get in a hurry and fu-k it all up.

Old machinegun Buddy that was watching me fire those groups said I could pull those 1.5" 10 shot groups down a little more with a good trigger on that REPR, Yup, "you need a trigga, my n igga" he said.

Ha ha, I have a sweet national match trigger I'll sell you for $50.00 shipped.

I'll need to do a little research too see of it'll bolt to a piston gun.

Got the Black Rifle Challenge pics sent to BSA, he's going on a quick morning hunt, then too the range, maybe he can post em this evening, my range pic didn't go through, but have the other two, hope it's enough.

Just got home. Here are Gunner's pictures of his REPR 308w and his target pics. Looks like he still needs a caliper next to the holes in the target to confirm group size, but it looks legit to me:

Rifle: 16" barreled LWRC REPR 7.62X51 short stroke gas piston operating system with 2.5-10x24 Nightforce optic. I wish I knew all the specifics, but Gunner didn't fill me in exactly. Maybe he will chime in. Load data on target picture:


Target pic, shot at 100 yards:


Avg. of the 2 10 shot groups using nightforce optic= 1.624" or 1.551 MOA

Good shooting with that piston gun Gunner.. Looks like he has 1 10 shot group he shot with irons, but only 1 group, not 2, so I'm assuming that one doesn't count.. Gunner, if you want, you can list the specific details of your set-up. Thanks..

Many Thanks for posting the pics BSA, my caliper and range pics didn't take in the camera, I can retake them if necessary, I shouldn't be around technical equipment by myself ; ]

The scope is a NF 2.5-10x24mm, old style capped, the reason I run max PBR with that rifle, no time to unscrew and spin.

And yes, I re-stapled the target and fired one 10 shot group with the irons for s's and g's, fired one shot, and click once to the right, didn't want to shoot into my writing, fudged a little more by dotting the "I" a little left of center to complete the string, and no, it wont count, just for fun.

BTW, up in the "hunting rifle" forum, MarineHawk posted a pic for me under the "tale of two 338's thread", it shows a range pic.

Hope to shoot this challenge soon have had in the safe for a wile now.

Gunner, I'm treading on your heels with my AR10.. :

Holy sheet, yes you are, if you sell me that trigger, you'll have to up your game.

Ha ha. You are right. I need to up my game anyways

What bullet you shooting big buddy? 178 Horns?

Took my PSA 6½ Creedmoor out yesterday, with a new load of H4350 under 140 ELD-X. I put the first 10 slightly under an inch. The next group I had 8 of them in a similar cluster, but one flyer went left, and one went right, making the group 1.99". I was too annoyed to take pictures
