    No issues with mine, but I am pretty sure that ATRS would really appreciate a call from you so that they can solve the issue.

    Obviously, however I want some more time than 50 rounds with it to diagnose what is the exact issue, or when it happens so I can provide Rick with more info. I also do not have time to play with it until after harvest, nor do I have time to talk to Rick about the issue unfortunately.

    What ?!
    I haven't seen anything that remotely approaches that.

    I really, really do. The fact is, most 7-800 dollar rifles will shoot <MOA consistently off the shelf. I'm not attacking ATRS by any means, I've had great dealings with them so far so no need for the white knights to show up and attack me. The problem is that I've been wanting a NR AR type rifle to shoot medium-long range (out to 1000m or so) with for years now. At first glance, the MH was it. It came from a company known for building really, really accurate rifles and was able to use tons of AR parts.

    The bottom line is that I still want a semi like the MH that I can take out in the woods and stretch its legs a little, but a rifle that seems to struggle to shoot <MOA isn't going to cut it, especially at current prices. And before someone points out the sub half minute group posted above, I have news for you. If your gun consistently prints MOA+ groups, but every once in a while when the stars align, your zodiac symbol is in the sky, and mercury is in retrograde, and your rifle shoots a quarter minute group, it still isn't a quarter minute gun. Some of you may say I'm not being realistic, but I don't think so. There's nothing inherent to the design stopping this rifle from being accurate, a purpose built AR can easily be made to fit all my criteria but the non-restricted part (I'd already own one if it weren't for the fact that I only have access to a ~300 yard range), so that's not the problem. Maybe with the right hand load this rifle will really start to shine. I'm starting to see some promise, and if I end up deciding to plop down my cash for a 6.5 model, you bet I'll be spending a lot of time doing load development for it.

    The jury is still out for me. I appreciate all the hard work ATRS has put into the rifle and giving us guys in Canada more options, but I'll have to keep monitoring this thread and wait and see before I'll be able to decide if the MH will suit my needs or not.

    Quarter minute gun???

    You can win most competitions with a 1/4 minute bolt rifle if you are good enough to work such a rifle. Semis in a 30 cal size are a whole different cat.
