ATRS Modern hunter specs, pics and range reports

I tried the south Africa stuff from p&d and shooting gongs offhand from you 100 was child's play. I met a guy from Cabellas north Edmonton who was shooting the gongs at 100 like playing notes.


So rifle ran smooth? Im not at all concerned with accuracy, just the action itself and how it cycled with surplus :) sounds like it was ok

Runs like a top. I think my last range day I shot 80 rounds of Hornady zmax and likely the same of the south African stuff, no problem.

Hit the gong at 230 with zmax constantly off a bag. Sherwood park gun range.

Grab any hornady zmax or steel case match you find.
 
I had mine out over may long and was grouping well at 200m and 225m. Too bad i found out the hard way i wasnt quite on crown land. Wasnt even allowed to 'clean up' my mess so i could get target pics. Grouped about 1-1.5" that i could tell. Rapid fire 5 shots i hit 3". Now, im not very experienced at shooting with the MH but seemed to be consistant. I was prone using my survival/camping pack for support. It seemed that i couldnt get my bipod the right height. Im sure with more planning, better shooting technique i could do better; which is to say the rifle has a lot more in it yet.
 
Take heart those who went for OD!

My Blue Titanium MH arrived yesterday.



Initial impression is: everything I hoped it would be.

I am excited to get it out to a range, and see how it shoots!
 
I was looking for a do-everything rifle. So my build is:

18.6" steel barrel, light contour
Crowned muzzle (no brake, no threading)
JP Enterprises 12" forend
Ambi Safety
Magpul PRS stock and MIAD
Cerakote in "Blue Titanium"
(Nightforce 2.5-10x32 in an ADM mount pictured)

The weight and balance are fantastic.

I'll put it on a scale and snag some pictures comparing it to my M14 build when I get a moment!

I got mine in burnt bronze...put a Swaro Z6 3-18X 50mm scope on it. Finally got to the range late this afternoon to make last target change.

Ok figured out how to post photos...so after work this afternoon, I managed to make it out to the local range for last target change. Target placed at 100 yards. Got my MH about 10 days ago. Shot a dogs breakfast of different 308 ammo I had for plinking with my Keltec RFB to loosen up my brand new gun and sight in new scope. Switched to Hornady Match 168g for last 5 minutes before cease fire. Upper left corner target had five shots high and left. Adjusted scope, next four shots closer to centre with one flier. Fifth failed to feed. I'm super happy with the MH. Awesome quality and great service from ATRS. It was my first gun purchase after I got my RPAL/PAL last September.
 
Think for order now they're into next year, I know Jan/Feb was projected December, but with the delays from proof and so forth, ATRS would have a better idea.
These are all awesome builds, maybe one day I'll nab one, until then I'm content to ogle fondly.
