[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 246281, member: 10"] Huntinco, I have not tested this rifle for accuracy yet. The two I have built in 338 AM were very accurate. Tested them at 1300 yards and both were easily in the 3/4 moa range before complete barrel break in. I would say that compared to the standard weight Xtreme Heavy Sporter, there is no real accuracy difference but there is a shootability difference. Both rifles are great shooting and easy to shoot but the standard weight XHS acts as if it shoots itself. That is a strange comment to make but its true. With the lighter weight rifle and with any lighter weight rifle compared to a heavier rifle, there is more piloting on our part to make the rifle shoot. I will say that at extreme range, that being +1000 yards, the heavier rifles seem to be a bit more consistant but I have yet to see anything worse then 3/4 moa at even these ranges with the light rifle. I am not saying the rifles would not do 1/2 moa, I am saying on that day, I was not a 1/2 moa shooter. I do not know how either shoot at 100 yards, I could care less about that and do not even test this type of rifle at that range, no point in it. [/QUOTE]
