Another great post!

Thank you very much for taking the time to do these tests and especially post them here.

As always, great review.

Any plans for Ranier Arms examples?

Wow! Almost one big hole. That 80 shot overlay is incredible.

Here's a 200-round "group" from a similar barrel haha!

Outstanding.

Awesome write up and review! I continue to be amazed how accurate Noveske Barrels are with the right loads. It would be interesting to see what this set up would achieve using a more real world application, not in a fixed vice on concrete. I have seen first hand Noveske AR's shoot sub MOA with nothing more than a range bag used for a rest, and crappy ammo.

When you take away other variables by using a fixed vice on concrete, you're looking more at the barrel than the shooter. It shows what the barrel is capable of. Most shooters can't approach that in most conditions.

Very good point, and I am aware of taking out said variables and making it a zero sum profile. But I would contend that knowing what a rifle is capable of in a real world scenario is just as important and indicative of how a rifle/barrel performs.

Firing unsupported, I doubt I'd notice the difference between a 0.5MOA setup and a 1.0MOA setup... I'm just not very good at it. I imagine Molon is likely better at it than me, though.

These barrels are made by FN - correct?
