    I guess my question is this. Why is accuracy so absolutely important? I want to hit what I am shooting at, but do you really need a 1" group?

    Yesterday, we shot a little video of me in the prone unsupported shooting a 10x14 steel plate at 150 yards using 55gr. steel TAP with ACOG topped 11.5" SBR.

    I hit the plate 20 times out of thirty. Was that spectacular? Nope. I missed because I was getting some fatigue, hot, etc....

    But, I was still able to hit a plate smaller than a human torso. I think on the next outing I will take my time, relax and put all 30 on the steel.

    from a guy who comes from a benchrest background, i'm really impressed with the chrome lined ar's I've played with...most of my experience is with the daniel defense chf but 1-2 moa depending on optics & ammo has been the rule on my very limited tests.

    anyone wanna hold their thumb-nail up at 100yds and gamble on the impact??

    accuracy is subjective...especially on this site.


    ~~~~~~~~


    Some say AR's are not accurate in general compared to bolt guns, but I had a 24" les baer heavy varmint I would put up against any factory turn bolt. Sold it cuz it was a boat anchor and a 220 swift vssf is better for that job.

    Finally, someone says it. Accuracy is hitting your target, pinpoint accuracy is another thing. My chrome lined barrel will shoot just as well as my stainless barrel in a combat situation. Im not a 1 MOA shooter. I use irons and aimpoints. I want to hit my man/coyote/rabbit sized target everytime, wether or not the rounds go through the same hole matters not to me.

    .

    I think it is pretty much common knowledge that for a precision match barrel - don't get CL'd.

    But I also think it is common knowledge that for a rustproof bore, toughness, ease of cleaning, heat resistance, etc. get a CL 4150 CM (or better) barrel.

    When I shoot for groups with my AR, I shoot 10-shots and generally in less than 1 minute and quite often get <1.5" groups. Do that with my very accurate 3-shot 1/2" group deer rifle and the barrel would probably sag or the groups would probably be in the 6" size.

    I consider my CL'd barrels accurate enough. I tell my "deer hunting accuracy" buddies this, "How accurate do I need to be, if I miss the first shot, that target has got 29 more bullets coming at it!" So, on a bad day, I can do at 200-yards, what #4 buckshot does at 30-yards.

    But maybe it's just me...
