[QUOTE="landcbeitner, post: 190016, member: 10214"] I was unaware that Shilen was a second-rate barrel maker, I have one of their barrels on my 308 and can hold 1/4 MOA beyond 500yds. I've never shot beyond 1000yds and if I could hold MOA at 1760 I'd be very satisfied, but like I said, I'm "hopping" for 1/2 MOA (good conditions). I understand how much harder it is to be accurate as you extend the range. If the rifle will not hold MOA at 1 mile I will try replacing the barrel. At 1000yds I'm hoping for better than 1/2 MOA, but there's only one way to find out. I appreciate at all your experience at these ranges, that's why I joined you guys here, the other fourm I've been a part of for a while doesn't have so many guys with 1500Yd+ experience. I'm sure I'll have more questions once I get the rifle put together and try to reach my lofty (probaby rediculous) goals. This project reminds me of when I first mentioned my goal of shooting eggs at 500yds (other forum) now 5 eggs in a row is nothing special. It was a learning curve then and I plan to start the curve all over again (I'll atleast give it a shot). Thanks again, (I know I've been getting more from this forum than I'm giving) you guys are a great help and inspiration. [/QUOTE]
