Sorry if this is the wrong section but wanted to ask, what kind of accuracy do you get out of your Renegades? Especially if you try?
 
Both my MRA Renegade (6x45mm) and MRA Maverick (.308) are easy sub 2MOA. My guess is that if I spent time working up handload, I could get closer to 1MOA.
 
I'm around 1 MOA with my Renegade, and have the impression that could get better with ammo tuning and a better shooter, but I'm a relative neophyte at long range rifle. It's been a great rifle to learn on, especially as I started with parts and know how it's put together and ummm, who chose those parts.
 
Wow, lots of good results out there even with the factory barrels. Must be extra dumb today because I never even thought of switching for a custom barrel!

Good to know. Or bad, depending on finances lol. Really liking the idea of one in place of a traditional bolt action, in 223 Rem or 6.5 grendel. Sure enough, sounds like they shoot

YMMV, but I never could get my Renegade to reliability extract 6.5 Grendel. It was s always a hard extraction, no matter the ammo

Yeah? Heard a few mentions of that! Was wondering if it was a particular rifle issue or there just isn't enough leverage in a straight pull to get it out of there. Wonder why.
 
My experience as well, grendels have sticky extraction in these straight pulls. Noticed it in 2 different grendel barrels.
223 and 224 valkyrie have effortless extraction. 300blk does as well.
 
FWIW my grendel barrels were Odin and MRA.
Just ordered a heavy Ballistic Advantage grendel barrel as the accuracy of the MRA is embarassingly bad, will see if extraction is any different with it.
 
Extraction was really a bear with 7.62x39, and at the time this was chalked up to Eastern Bloc surplus ammo, but even with 223 in good brass it's not always easy. I got an extra charging handle and occasionally still have to grab both sides!

MRA barrel both times.
 
Thanks again all. The potential extraction issues are really convincing me to just stick with a bolt gun
 
With both my rifles, tight extraction was only for the first 100 rounds or so, after that no problem, with my 458 I had a problem getting the bolt to pickup the round and chamber it, I had to go to a heavier buffer and stronger spring
 
I've only noticed hard extractions with steel core ammo. The extractor still gets a good grip on it, but it's harder to pull back than with regular brass. This is .223/5.56
