[QUOTE="Overkill338, post: 1795096, member: 110473"] I'm still toying with the idea of getting one of these rifles in .308. I read a test where the first 3 groups they shot was under 1/2" with Federal Gold Medal Match ammo. The one I setup for a coworker shot the same way. Velocity wise, the 16.5" should be no different than a AR10 carbine correct? I know that 20" barrel is plenty rigid and it doesnt effect the accuracy if the stock is pushed against the barrel. Is there really any reason to go down to 16.5" ? It's not going to be any more accurate is it? I was thinking if you bedded it in a Boyd's stock, it might shoot even better. Seems like a great idea for a cheap blinker, could use surplus ammo, toss in back and go shoot somewhere without worrying about messing up a nice rifle. Then later, I'd have an action to start a custom build. I'm betting, with some Bergers, or the ELD-M, it might could be made to shoot 1 hole at 100. Am I right? [/QUOTE]
