OP, good shooting! You have to give some credit to the trigger nut too.
Oh, almost forgot. Why would you use a chrome lined barrel as your accuracy barrel. Seems bassackwards to me.

This was the best 3 shot group out of my Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308 at 200 yards with 168gr FGMM with no wind.

oh, the chrome lined barrel is not an accuracy build, although it probably should have been.
I got a good deal on it, and since we can only have HBARs now I built it out on a new receiver. It shoots pretty good, better than average for an AR I'd say, but frankly I should have just shelled out the extra cash and got what I really wanted, which was an HBAR melonited 5r rifled 18 incher- as time goes on I am really just not seeing the point of chrome any more.
Well done modern nitriding blows chrome away in accuracy and in longevity from what I've seen, as well as with regard to corrosion protection. The only place it suffers is that it is EVER so slightly harder to clean, but even that ends up being a wash because for some reason copper WILL NOT STICK to the barrel- I don't know why.
Anyways, I can always put together another upper with the barrel I want, I just really wish I had just waited an extra week and gotten what I really wanted.
But yeah, I didn't build out the HBAR with the intent of making accuracy the prime requisite. Oh well

The 5r bhw barrels were on the top of my list too. I did the same thing and just got a jse because it was cheap and quick. I must say though, it out performs it's cost.
A lot of good shooting in the pics on this thread. Those results are not all gun.

Nice shootn' amoebicmagician
Here is one of mine
OK, if you were scoring that for a match, how many would you give to the X?

the JSE I had a coupon and was trying to build the lightest rifle I could.
I can't believe how nice this upper is. I got it without bolt carrier and charging handle since Ares Armor was selling excellent quality nitrided bolt carrier groups for less than the bolt carrier they were including with the upper- that was also a great buy.
The gun has always been a much better shooter than it's price would indicate. I think I have maybe 480 bucks in this rifle not counting the fire control group I scavenged out of another build I was not happy with. Since taking the slack out between the upper and lower with the gorilla tape it is INCREDIBLE how accurate this rifle is.
People keep telling me that JSE is crap based on the stainless barrels they sub contracted during the panic that were finished really poorly- apparently they just put dowels into the bore on both ends when they bead blasted it, leaving the feed ramps like sand paper and the inside of the locking lugs rough. The way I looked at it, for the small price of the upper even if there were problems with it I would have a nitrided 4150CMV barrel. They said when I called them that the barrels in the budget line are the same ones they use in their 'top tier rifles'
I took that to mean their top tier rifles were crap.
Turns out to be vice versa.
can't wait to do a build with the 5r though, I'm seeing great things in AR-10s

I would say 3x on this one, no more than 4x.

The best group I ever saw was when I was a kid shooting at Powder Burners Rifle and Pistol Club when I witnessed Arthur Cook former Olympic Gold Medalist shoot an entire box of 50 .22 Long Rifle through a single hole the size of your fingernail. It was at 50 feet from the prone position on the indoor range and he did it to settle an argument over weather that ammo was throwing flyers.

"Dale, you suck"

"Nah, I'm TELLIN YOU that CCI is ********"

While the grouping is just flat out impressive, it's the fact that you went out shooting yesterday in this fridge weather that I bow to you. YOU, the MAN!!! I am humbled
Good shooting all.... I want you guys on my team when the balloon goes up!

I will have to work the rest of my life to match that group lol. My buddy was spotting for me at Hap Baker and told me to stop shooting after the 3rd shot and pack it in for the day cause it wasnt gonna get any better than that lol.

It was so damned cold.
I thought I was smart by making three tigger headbands into a makeshift balaclava.
And yet when I got into the car and blew my nose there were ****ING ICE CRYSTALS IN MY SNOT

There are some skilled shooters on this board! I like seeing targets with one little hole in it. Here's my current favorite 5 round group of mine. This was shots 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 through a brand new rifle.
Now there's a grin!
Nice group! The 25 was my very first rifle also. Same timeframe. Still have it!
Enjoy!

Every time I see that group, it reminds me that I need more range time.

We all need more range time, and not doing the same successful thing over and over. We need to be out there getting out of our comfort zones by trying different positions, switching to our off hands, varying distances, dot drills, standing, timed, moving, etc.
For the long range precision guys on here take a look into the Precision Rifle Series (PRS). Someone in this thread mentioned being bored, go sign up for this- http://www.precisionrifleseries.com/peacemaker-s-prs-points-match.html

Agreed, getting out of the comfort zone is also refreshing.
I haven't even zeroed the .260 since replacing the broken scope.
