with this gun though im puttin 5 rounds in a dime at 150 now with this stock, ive had the barrel crio frozen and i bought one of those barrel de-resonators from limb savers
Did the BAR have a shorter than normal barrel? Or just the stock barrel was short? From what I've seen 2" or so groups at 100 yards seems to be about normal for these guns. I've read where several guys say how they are really accurate and shoot under 1" at 100 yards but seems like the ones I've seen and most of the people I've talked to with them don't seem to get groups that tight.
Have you tried the Claw slings? I don't know about on a BAR but I really like the slings.
For the Rem 700 that's an amazing looking gun. I bet it does shoot amazing. Maybe someday I will have one something like that. Do you do much hunting with it or just target shooting?
