Armament Technology .308

Rem 3200,

Let me know if you want to try out some Moly'd rounds.

I have some done up.

I also have a moly-coating kit to put the moly on your own bullets if you want me to do that instead.

I know the AT1-C24 rifles were broken in with Norma Diamond Line ammo, but there is no necessity to continue to use Moly if you don't want to.

BTW, I used to live just up the hill from the CT in Bedford, now I'm at the far end of Rocky Lake Drive.

It'd be great to see another shooter out at the PR Matches.

I'll get some more pics of both of them, hell I'll put all my precision stuff together, ex wife took the camera and the internet so it may be a while though. I have an AI folder on order for my Wolverine 2000, not too fond of the folder that came on it, too small for my arms and shoulder so the rifle flipped up and hit me when I fired it... most distracting. I've been told my Wolverine 2000 is the last rifle that Andy made. It's a super heavy 17 inch barrel .308 with a folding stock. The mount is part of the receiver like a sturgeon action. The barrel looks like an M2 HMG barrel. Fit and finish as any AT rifle and sweet trigger. Pics when I'm up and running again.

I would stick with the Diamond line. My AT rifles will only shoot it well, but when I say well I mean fantastic, sub .25 moa... same hole groups at 100y and I have pics to prove it. Strangley, nothing else I have realy likes the Diamond line too much. Just starting to hand load .308 myself so no intelligent info on handloads for them.

I think that rifle is a fairly early one... I'd love to know what you paid for her? Love to see some of your range results too. That is a fine looking rifle!

Does anyone have an Obermeyer barrel on theres? I thought I remember hearing that some were made with Obermeyer when available but most were made with Rock barrels. Might have answered my own question the article touches on Obermeyer rifling.

"Obermeyer rifling" is in ref to the 5R rifling pattern, not necessarily the barrel make. The 5R pattern is the original brainchild of Boots Obermeyer.
 
Shot it

Well, finally got to the range but bit of a hurried session as hunter sight-ins going on so only chance to run three groups of three through it. Used Winchester 168 GR HP-BT Match ammo at 100 yards. Shooting off the bench using the bipod.

First two groups almost exactly same as first pic. Dropped the scope down six clicks and hurried the last three shots in the second pic but not bad for me.

It's one nice shooting rifle.

The AT's are usually laserguns.

Glad to hear you got it out! I might be wandering out next week to BM Tues/Wed...drop me a PM if you're interested in wandering by.

I'm shooting with the heel of the stock unsupported, just off the bench useing the bipod. Your right that it may tighten it up a bit more resting the heel - I'll try that next time out.

I'm not a benchrest shooter by any stretch but this gun would make just about anybody look good.

I usually use a small "bunny bag" at the rear of the stock--it provides fairly good support and is easier to lug around the range than a full sandbag! Congrats on the rifle BTW, back when Andy was in the biz he worked over my Rem 700 a bit to lighten the trigger and free float the barrel.
 
If you are using a bipod, try swinging you left hand underneath the rear of the stock and use it as a rest. Make a fist and sit the rifle on top. For a more steady rest i have had good results by wearing a glove (Ski Glove) to remove the pulse from my hand.
 
Having learned from the maker of that rifle, I'll suggest getting a military sandbag and fill it about 1/2 with coarse white beach sand.

Put the bag on about a 45degree angle, so that one of the corners is pointed up-range.

Set the toe of the butt into the corner, and work it in a bit.

Use your left hand to cup that corner of the sandbag to raise or lower the butt as required.

Using the sandbag instead of just your hand/fist will isolate your heartbeat from the rifle, and make you steadier.

Also, with the toe of the butt into the bag, some of the recoil energy is transmitted into the bag, instead of into your shoulder. Thus you'll see a reduction in felt recoil as well.

If you need a demo of this, drop me a line. Pleased to show you.
