Thread: most accurate center fire semi

I had a Steyr scout that would stack FGMM 168gr into each other at 100 yards, so easily a 1/4 MOA gun and considering it's a short/light hunting rifle inward very impressed.

My second hand 16 inch non free floated Ruger SR556E piston AR15 manages to shoot under 1 MOA with dirt cheap bulk 55gr PMC Bronze ammo and can also consistently pull off half MOA with some 50gr varmint loads... makes me scared to clean the barrel or do anything other than field strip it in case it throws it off.

Are they making them in semi auto now?
@Paddy79 Where did you buy the Elftmann safety from, NZ or overseas? Ive been looking for a safety like that since i got my ar and stoked to finally find someone makes one

Dpms gen 2 converted to 6.5 creedmoor hardy barrel.Seems to shoot well

My RRA Preditor AR15 is bloody accurate if I do my part. An American Trigger Corp 2 stage made the world of difference. It will happily chew through any ammo I feed it and produce the goods, it's not fussy with any factory ammo yet. I have never bothered reloading for it as I don't think I could improve it.

mate reckons his POF Revolution is a tac driver

Daniel Defense LW 16" shooting 75bthp Hornady handloads 0.3", won't shoot 55's to save itself and thought was an expensive piece of crap when first bought it. Have Fred Eichler Series Rock River Ar shoots well and not so fussy. Have a gen2 dpms 308 haven't even shot yet, plan is to put a 6.5 barrel on it as Mark G above. Maybe a Krieger, Faxon or Proof?

Was hoping to see how the others stacked up compared to the ars don't see the ruger mini or those veper things making an appearance yet

This is my mini 30 with PPU 123 grain. Only ammo it seems to like. Definitely not a tack driver but ok. I'll get the trigger lightened some time and see what that does to it.

@dogmatix knows about Veprs

My M1 Garand is pretty damn accurate with handloads. Nothing really comes close to AR's though in terms of functionality and accuracy potential. If you have an AR with a good barrel and a good trigger, it will shoot well.

I think it's Nigel B? who shoots at ASRA has a .223 Vepr shooting Vs with a red dot and steel cased ammo consistently.
My .308 Vepr could do sub MOA with handloads if you didn't heat the barrel up, but tended to average 1.5 MOA otherwise.
Still good for an AK action.

Norinco M305 with 168 SMK hand loads



Wished it shot like that all the time

Not exactly your run of the mill Norinco though

That's looks like something you would see in 'Restrepo', in the Korengal Valley shooting at the Taliban.

ive tossed up getting an m305

What's the saiga accuracy like? 223 vs 7.62 x 39. Or would an ok sks be better?

I've shot pretty reasonable groups out of my x39 with a scope on it. About a 3MOA rifle with Barnaul. Heaps accurate for shooting animals. Great goat gun.
