Indeed, but having a bid come in at 30 sec. to go is somewhat disconcerting, as you suddenly have another bidder on the scene, who hasn't previously appeared, with no bidding history on that item.
Yes. That's a pmag in the pic. Came with one from ruger.
I like that rifle need to find one some day how is the accuracy with match grade ammo or good quality ammunition?
go to post #33 in this thread;
Okay I'll check around going to hit a few lgs tomorrow see what they have
My friend uses 1:9 for varmint hunting. He uses 50gr TnT Speer hp and shoots moa or less with them. My 1:8 twist absolutely hates them no matter what powder primer brass combo we tried. It does okay with Hornady 55gr fmj at around 1.5-2 moa 62gr I gave up on. It loves Hornady 75gr bthp. .5moa or less 10 shot groups.
Long time no see
I've noticed that the 1:8s are kind of interesting. They are solid for MOST things, but on either end of the spectrum they fall apart a bit. I try to stay yo the heavy end of things, even in ARs, but I (and don't hate me for this) actually like varmint rounds for home defense. 1:8 was supposed to be the all around twist. It isn't it leans to the heavy pills. At least mine does. My cousin in SD uses a 1:12 and he shoots 40gr Varminter and BL C2 powder he loads them to around 3200fps and has very good accuracy out to 300 yards.Long time no seeI've noticed that the 1:8s are kind of interesting.

I would think that in reality 1:8 would be a good place for a bolt gun. It can, with some luck, manage some heavier varmint rounds up to 77gr otm which is solid for a vast majority of the game that I would feel comfortable shooting with 5.56

You're over my head with hand loading data brother. My 1:8 does about everything I ask. I also don't shoot anything lighter than 50gr, and usually no lighter than 55gr; i also top out at 77gr otmYou're over my head with hand loading data brother. My 1:8 does about everything I ask.

I'm an accuracy nut. No more is 3 moa acceptable unless its open sights lol. I find loading to your rife gets the best results even over factory ammo. I have not found a factory load that out preforms my 75gr Hornady BTHP for my rifle. I think it's a little picky. That said the only factory round it likes is the Fiocchi 55gr. It is around 1.25 moa. My rifle hates xm855, and M193 ammo. It shoots around 2.5 moa with those rds. It actually shoots wolf 55gr better than our military grade ammo. Wolf is around 2 moa in my rifle. I don't shoot steel cases much but if someone gifts it to me it hits the range. If I didn't reload I would probably shoot all steel case ammo lol.
