    Bought this rifle off another member not working, i messed with it for a week trying different things, it had numerous issues doe to AR10's and compatibility issues. I got the bugs worked out and took it to the range for its first try. At first it grouped like crap, i double checked all scope screws etc and shot a little more with it not working as much as i hoped. then once i got to about 60 rounds the barrel must have broke in.. she started shooting some good groups. This was my last 20 rounds Using cheap walmart perfecta.

    Scope not in the pic but i used a cheap mount with a 12x42 Swfa SS scope. I am now waiting for a Swfa mount to show up to remount the scope as you can see by the target, i started to walk it in and the group got nice and tight

    First target is my wife at 300 yards with her 3006, bench rested, with bipod for the first time with the fiocchi ammo. if you discount her mistake in mixing up the 168s and 180s her groups were 3 in and less

    The second target is me at 300 yards prone with the AR15 with 77gr beck ammo. I could not get comfortable. Had to muscle the gun the whole time could not relax and stay on target. :mad54: need lots of practice.

    6.5 Creedmoor 10 shot group @ 100 yds with less than 50 rounds and I hope it's only going to get better.

    Nice...how do you like the PRS stock on it?

    It is much better for me than the factory stock. Still a bit of a pain to get the rear bag under tho. But I made it work.

    This was with PPU 175gr Match ammo. It shot the FGMM about the same. Didn't like the 168 FGMM much.

    Remington 700 in .308, SPS Tactical 20" barrel, on an Archangel stock, Primary Arms 4-14x44 FFP Mildot scope, bench rest.

    Group 1 was first group fired, had to tighten the the barrel into the stock a little more.
    Group 2 was 2d group
    Group 3 was 3d

    100yd range, 147gr FMJ.

    Next (sorta precision).. Engage E4 Dissy, with a Aim Sports 4x wanna be acog scope, bench rest, XM193 55gr FMJ ammo (LC), 100 yds.

    Group 1 & 2 were "dialing" (getting used to the weapon again)
    Group 3 I had moved the dial to move strike of round down... well this knockoff sight it's opposite
    Group 4 was 2 magazines after I get it dialed in, rapid fire

    Here is a 20 shot group at 100 yards with PMC 55 grain plinking ammo. My friend shot it and it was his first time ever shooting a rifle, I was impressed!

    Marlin 1895GS (45-70); not exactly a precision rifle but I've had bolt guns that won't group like this. I added the heavy black lines on to these factory targets to line the Leupold 1-4x crosshairs on. In all honesty I can't get 5/8" groups like that consistently. It takes a lot of concentration and a little bit of luck. On average this rifle and this load is probably a little better than a m.o.a. combination.

    I can't get over how the RPR in 6.5CM shoots with factory ammo.

    last 3 shots today of the 143gr eldx
