I haven't seen many TAR-21 range reports, so I figured I would post this up for folks who are interested.
Bullet: 77gr SMK
Powder: Varget
Charge: 23.0gr
Primer: CCI SRP
Brass: LC Mixed H/S
OAL: 2.260
Rifle: IWI TAR-21 FDE 16" BBL Stock Trigger
Optic: Leupold VXR Patrol Firedot
Range: 50 yards
Position: Unsupported from a bench
Weather: Light Rain and Wind ~50 Degrees
Took a few rifles out to switch a couple of scopes around and sight them in, so I did this at the 50 yard range and since it was raining I didn't want to move. There is more accuracy in this rifle, I witnessed better groups than this at the 100 yard range just last weekend but didn't document them.
The rifle had a few failures to lock the bolt back, but not nearly as many as the prior weekend. I'm pretty convinced it is a break-in issue. Otherwise, no other issues. It handles like a dream and the controls, while different than an AR-15, are extremely intuitive and easy to operate. This is a well thought out design.
These groups should be better @ 50 yards so some of this is me as I shot these at the end of a 200 round session.
