I love my LRT-3 and Timberwolf and I am very pleased with the accuracy. If I do my part 1/2 MOA or less with handloads! Out at distance 640 yrds - 1000yrds I have had some stellar results when I do my part but do not have as much experience at reading the wind as others so I fall apart in the wind still learning! On a calm day I hit a 1.5" pole at 640 yards with the T-wolf and the next shot I hit a can of BP
The LRT-3 also did this at 640 yrds with a guy who never shot a .50 before and has very little experience with rifles 
yes the crusty old bastard was wearing a pirates patch I would not sell these rifles they are my babies I love them and best of all they are 
I do agree they are not BR rifles and do not have super tight tolerances that could give you that extra edge for ultimate ultimate accuracy! Oh Yeah as a sidenote I dropped my T-wolf on pavement by accident picked it up and shot under 1/2" at 100m they are built like tanks and definately are made to take lot's of punishment.

Here's yet another PGW vote of support. I've got an early production Coyoti (no typo -- that's the nomenclature for the variant with a titanium receiver) in .308 that is an honest and absolutely consistent 0.25 MOA rifle when launching a 168 grain match bullet over 44.3 grains of Varget. Knowing that my bench technique is far from perfect, I often find myself wondering what the groups would like if the rifle were fired from a machine rest...
They may not be "precision rifles", but what's not to like?

Very rare rifle there. I think I only made 3 titanium Coyotes. There is only one left handed Coyote, and that one has a titanium bolt as well, again, only one......That is my personal rifle
+1
also what is the deal with the 18.5" barrel ? I though optimal barrel length was 20" for 308.

Really? I had no idea there were so few. Not sure who you made this one for -- it's a right handed action, and the serial number would suggest 2004 as the production date. I came across it awhile back at a dealer as a consignment sale. All I can say is that I'm glad the previous owner sold it.
Truly, it's a spectacular performer in every way.Thanks for building it!
You can rest assured it has a good and loving home!+1 for the PGW Timberwolf, I took mine moose hunting last week and laid a pair of 432m smack down shots on a cow and calf, then set up steel target across the lake at 1256m and rang the camp bell for hours!
you will not be disappointed!

18" at 1200 meters? What's that in MOA? Look, the Coyote/Timberwolf are extremely accurate rifles of their genre. But the OP was about ultimate accuracy, not ultimate field accuracy, which puts the ball in the camp of the BR shooters and railguns. Doesn't mean the C/T aren't accurate, they are very much so. But it's a question of degree. On the other hand, if you can actually shoot up to the capabilities of either of them, then you are a good shot, indeed. FWIW - dan

IIRC, we averaged 96% on the contract run for the CF
This might be a thread hijack (in which case please ignore!) but I am interested in more details of how the testing is conducted....
- are these "first shot" hits that are being scored? (I would guess not)
- before "shooting for score" as it were, are sighters permitted to determine wind/elevation?
- An 18" circle, or 18" square?
- how many shots are taken in a test run?
- presumably this would be done under reasonably decent wind conditions?
Further to the CF specification....
-Tested with Lock Base FMJ not Scenar (less accurate load than Scenar).
-Factory ammo
-172 rifles tested (not 1)
-Formal testing protocol undertaken with every shot witnessed by DND officials.
-Testing done from -40 to +35, calm, wind, mirage, cloudy, etc.
And the real kicker is the shooter of record for most of these tests doesn't really know how to shoot that well...
Someone at our club had a fully custom M14 built to his specs with an ultra tight chamber etc.
The rifle always performed flawlessly up until he decided to use it in a rainy service rifle match.
He had 120+ jams and as he described it some of them needed tools and brute force to clear.
He told me that that was the day he understood what the difference was between a service rifle and a precision rifle was.
