i think accuracy came up because the original review compared the rifle to the wk/ws. so, while most seem good with a 2-3 moa rifle out of the box, how does the stock accuracy of the r18 compare to a wk? that was where it all came from. even if the original review didn't make the comparison people would be doing it themselves regardless - twice the price, looks cooler, lighter but due to barrel and less accurate (comparatively) as a result? doesn't work so well in the cold. anything else about potential double ejectors or heavier springs is just speculation (albeit informed i suppose) that requires proving by the vendor and not the reviewer.
You have no cut off point? 4 to 5 MOA is good then?
Not everyone is using these for pop can shooting, or whatever.
If nobody cared about accuracy the why all the aftermarket parts that enhance accuracy?
Barrels,triggers etc?
I think these guns shooting 2 ,3MOA are acceptable .
But if you start adding good triggers, good barrels ,etc then 1 MOA should be doable with good components.
I’ve owned them all pretty much and with the right hand loads, they’re all capable of MOA ish.
God knows I’ve spent a small fortune on reloading/shooting the Xlr/MS/Jard/su16, and could only get MOA.
If I recall The couple of MS I’ve owned were shooting a little Les than MOA, but not constantly enough for me to call it a consistent sub 1 MOA rifle.
I’m sure there are hand loaders who are way more anal than me, who could do better.
I’m sure this is a great off the shelf rifle for the plinkers,3 gunners but for me , I’d rather a sort of partially built set.
I’d like to be able to choose my own barrel/ trigger.
I don’t really care about the rest.
I’ve settled for that.
I’ve never had a semi that could shoot the same ammo any better ,as Bartocs test rifle did rifle did.
Appreciated for spending tons of your time on testing and writing up. I would think the info you passed is fair enough and sufficient for the people who willing to buy. I got the following response from TSE for “list”
“ At this time we are not taking pre-orders, however I am keeping a list of people interested. If you wanted to provide me with your name and phone number I am more than happy to add you to the list.
Once we have production rifles available to sell we will be contacting those on our list to confirm order at that time.
We do not yet have a firm launch date, however it can be expected within the next week or two.
Thanks again for your interest. “
