MOA claims wall of shame

[Toecheese]

Along with the MOA challenge, I will be listing up a wall of shame of members making claims of MOA without substantiation.

@300Blackout

Kain,
No offense. I see some pretty bad shooting from some people and offer to shoot the gun for them to see if it is the gun or them.
I can take my RR 223 and make some beautiful ragged holes. Damn I love that rifle. My RR 308 is accurate as I could wish for, given the configuration. My 375 H&H is one of the most accurate guns I own second to the 223! That thing impresses me every time I shoot it (which ain’t all that often). Only to test a load or kill an animal. 9/16" -7/8" is very normal for that rifle. Love that gun.
Yes, I am shooting 100 yards with 3x-9x scope with this M4.
I guess I am spoiled. All my AR’s (except maybe the 7.62x39) are great shooters. I just expected more from this barrel. I will wear it out and replace it with a Daniel Defense or Noveske or similar quality. Or, I will just get tired of it and replace it.
Thanks for the insight guys. I guess 2-3" is standard to expect with this kind of barrel?
BTW, I loaded some sinterfire 45 gr frangible and got a 4" group at 100’ (33 yards!) Of course those rounds are for steel at close range but damn! I was surprised how bad they shot! But then again, little need in shooting them much farther than 20 yards away.
Thanks again for the help.

Well, I think you hit the nail on the head. I am expecting too much from this gun. I reload, and I reload a lot. Have tried my pet loads in RR 223 and they don’t work in this gun … or maybe they do work as well as I can expect! Have worked up other loads like I do in all my guns. Nothing shoots worth crap. You would think that eventually something would work out.
I am shooting 55 gr Nosler over 23g TAC and that seems to be about as good as it gets. 2-3" which is disappointing, but then again, I guess my expectations are all out of whack.
All my other AR’s (223, 7.62x39, 308 Win and 300 Blackout) all shoot well with the proper load. But I am pulling my hair out over this one.
I guess I will use it on the range shooting steel and running drills. Use the Rock River 223 for the coyotes and longer range steel shooting and such.
The Rock River 308 shoots like a dream. It does not have a free float barrel. It is a mid length a4 and shoots down to 1/2" usually its around an inch. I put the Magpul MOE front end on it though. Fantastic gun. I can only imagine the accuracy I could get if I put a free float tube on it.

@l8apex

I’m getting ~ 1-1.5 MOA when I do my part, better possible however I’m still working on it. 12" plates are pretty easy as long as my wind calls are close. 100 yards it’s sub MOA, .65 is my best group with 77gr OTM/TMK. Using a 2.5-10 NF, 100y zero, BHA 77gr ammo.

@atomic41

I’ll throw in my experience with a Mega barrel. I built a MATEN last year and decided to go with a 16"Mega barrel. They guarantee sub MOA so I was expecting that but it far exceeded what I thought I was going to get for precision. I consistently shoot sub .5 MOA with this rifle. Most 100yd groups are .3". I can outshoot a lot of bolt guns and I did not expect that out of this barrel.
Hell, a couple weeks ago I was shooting on a buddies land and we were hitting cattails at 200 yards…this is a fantastic barrel. I’m bringing this up because it was such a surprise for me and I don’t hear anyone ever mention Mega barrels for precision rifles…I’m convinced they need to be brought into the discussion now.

@gt40

My WOA 18" varmint upper with 1 in 7" twist on top of a Colt LE 6920 lower with a SSA-E trigger shoots less than 1/2" five shot groups at 100 yds. Give them a call they may have them in stock and ready to go. The 20" are only $285 with fitted gas manifold.
