[QUOTE="dgr416, post: 2318048, member: 1208"] I have a BAR in 300 win mag that I gave my dad a long time ago but he quit hunting he's 81 so I am about to use it .I have shot alot of 1/2 inch groups and some 3/8 inch groups with this rifle at 100 yards with just a 3x9 Nikon on it . You have to keep the bore clean to make it shoot like this with good loads and clean it every 50 rounds and pull a bore snake through it .I am thinking about putting a 6x24 x50 Nikon mrad scope on it to see what it will do long range . We only shot deer with it out to 300 yards but I bet with today's bullets it will be easy to become a 500 yard rifle .I also have a rem 742 in 243 win that shoots 1/2 inch at 100 yards and have shot lots of 1 inch groups at 200 yards .These rifles were both shot with factory ammo so good reloads would probally do just as good .I forgot I also have the most surprising accurate semiautomatic a ruger mini 14 target rifle in 223 it shoots all day 1/2 groups at 100 yards and 1 inch at 200 yards with a 6x18 power scope on it .
