In their testing with match grade ammo it was shooting sub-MOA groups so I'm really lookin forward to seeing what it can do. __ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannydan 0 #5 February 22, 2008 DONT FORGET "PROPER BREAKIN"..... I dont know yr expierenceI can remember the first time i took a SpringArmry M1ANatMatch glass bedded out...

ChrisL 2 #6 February 22, 2008 Quote DONT FORGET "PROPER BREAKIN"..... I dont know yr expierence but just want to pass on some sound advice! If you dont know proper break in research it or ASK here.... Some believe in it and some shooters dont.. obtw... That is a SWEEEEEEEEET choice! CONGRATS! Well thats definitely a much debated issue with lots of folks I really respect telling me that its bullshit. I'm not experienced enough to have an opinion BUT I figure better to do it and not need to than need to and not do it Following a break in procedure isnt going to hurt it so why not? If it really is a waste of time well no harm was done was it? :-)__ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Armour666 0 #7 February 22, 2008 I never have broken in any of my rifles (Unless the manufacture has specified anything particular). I've always done a good inspection over all then just shoot normal. I never really do any heave rapid fire that would over heat the barrel any way. I do shoot in all-weather conditions so can be harsh on equipment that way. New barrels and the metals and chroming they use now days should never give you any real problems. Breaking in like you say is a difference of opinion but each their own.SO this one time at band camp..... "Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most."

ChrisL 2 #10 February 24, 2008 Quote.308 is just the civilian term for the 7.62 nato round correct? Close but not exactly. You can usually shoot 7.62 ammo in rifles chambered for .308, but not the other way around because the .308 is a slightly higher pressure round and that can potentially screw rifles chambered specifically for the 7.62mm__ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
