First off, yes it is another one of those posts. I like many others on these forums couldn't make my mind up as to whether or not I should build my own or buy one and leave it the way it is. So my identical twin and I did both.
I bought a a 22" m305, sent it off to user 45ACPKING (fantastic guy) and had him put on the following

  • 18.5 inch criterion Medium Chrome Lined Barrel
  • USGI Springfield Bolt with USGI guts
  • USGI Stock
  • Match Grade spring guide
  • CASM gen || scope mount
  • Bushnell mil dot 10x40 scope
Well the scope & mount I did myself.
Total cost: $1500ish +tax etc
My twin bought a heelstamped Polytech m305 with 22" barrel and a standard spring guide, it also has a slotted handguard.
Cost:$500
See for yourself our results from today with Hornady Steel match 155gr (once we make our own loads expect these to improve) at 100yds.
No back rest & a stool for a front rest

1.899MOA with iron's ($500 m14) (7 rounds)

and 1.61MOA (5rounds) which I'm going to call 1.31 as without my early pull came out to 1.31MOA ($1500 m14 with glass)

and sighting these suckers in at 50yds before we went to the 100yd mark

That's next on the purchase list :) cheek-weld was non existant to say the least. I don't want to drill into my stock (I'm not very handy) l, so I have to order one from down south.
 
Good stuff. I plan on getting an M14 myself when I get my permit, and I have been wondering about how to make it as accurate as possible, since it's probably going to be the only centerfire rifle I'm going to buy.

Check out Pop's post on his accurizing of his Norc. You can see the results for yourself as he just conquered the 1.5 MOA Challenge with commercial ammo.

Hello all, I developed a 155gr load over this
FfzbOia.jpg
weekend as I had good results with Hornady steel match 155gr. Its a .991 group, some precision guys at the range were saying to minus the caliber from the group size? Either way I think once I develop the load further I can beat the 1.5MOA challenge forsure.
This was a 5rd grouping
Please ignore the other holes, I brought a female friend shooting & she took potshots at the target once I was done.

Yes Sir that's fine shooting, got yourself a nice .683 group there.
Perfectly acceptable to measure from centre to centre instead of edge to edge.
Your going to be all over the challenge :)

Good luck.
