Precision rifle builders in Canada

When a 1/4 moa guarantee only requires a three-shot 1/4 inch group, it gets easier. It won't be a 1/4 minute rifle but for many it would be good enough. The truth is, BS sells surprisingly well as is demonstrated every day. I've been shooting a half dozen different rifles over the last few weeks and every one of them has produced numerous three shot 1/4 minute groups but only one of them is a true 1/4 minute rifle. With it, I can say, "watch this" and have a reasonable expectation of shooting five shots into 3/4 inch or less at three hundred meters. It's not a field rifle and it's not shooting factory ammunition.
Like Dennis, I've built a few match rifles and, having done so, know that a 1/4 minute guarantee is mostly made by folks who don't mind blowing a little smoke.
Having said this, I have no doubt that one could make some sales just based on the brochure. Whether or not he could make enough sales to eat well is another matter.

Well Spoken Mr Leeper ! ;) RJ
 
I have owned several rifles in the past that occasionally gave 1/4 " groups at 100 yards .
i have not owned any that would do it on a continual basis however !

I have also had the pleasure of shooting a friend's TAC OPS rifle - an F51.
It came with a three shot group that was under 1/4 IIRC , but I can get a rifle built as good and cheaper by several 'smiths here in Canada, and in fact have a rifle that matched it .
A three shot test group is nice but as has been stated before
" you cannot buy accuracy , you have to learn it and do it"

Other then PGW and Cadex are there any renowned smiths doing complete rifle systems that perform here in Canada?, I am going to start building rifles in New Brunswick after I get out of university and would like to open shop with not only the best of components but a .25moa guarentee. As far as I know the only shop in the world that offers that guarentee is a Tac Ops rifle built by Mike Rescigno in California as I had the pleasure of owning one in the past. Unlike cadex and PGW these will be a series of rifles in either AI chassis, or McMillan stocks . They will feature bartlein barrels surgeon actions etc.. And will be guaranteed at .25 moa with a test target using FGMM ammunition.my question is is there a market for this type of accuracy & modularity in tactical rifle systems in Canada? These will not be built to order they will be in stock in a series of configuration which can hopefully fulfill all tastes and needs of the serious marksmen. All will have nvg rail for nvg capabilities.
Bastos Defense Solutions will be offering the following:

Mk-mod-0 in Mcm HTG
Ml-mod-1 in Mcm a4-a5
Ml-mod-2 in aiax
Ml-mod-3 magnum calibers
So far my components list is this
Surgeon repeater actions
Aiax chassis
McMillan stocks
Badger dbm
Bartlein barrels and proof research
Timney or Jewell triggers
AI magazines
Pelican cases
These will be turn key rifles, add optics and your a go.
Chambered in one of 6 calipers .243, 6.5 creed more .260 ,, 308 300wm and 338lapua


At this point this is the dream, but as we move into the new year we get closer to making this a reality so I'm throwing out a feeler. At this point I expect to open shop 3rd quarter 2016
Prices will range but expect these to go for roughly 7- 10k depending on configuration.
Thanks

REMEMBER THIS thread - I wonder what ever happened to Felipe ! Did he Succeed or FAIL ? anyone know ? RJ
 
When I read threads like this how many have watched a true BR match? I am talking 100/200, 600 or 1000 yard.

To build a GUARANTEED true 1/4 moa rifle that will shoot factory ammo. Well if that is the case I am waiting for a 6PPC version of it. Better yet 6BR version of it that will shoot factory Lapua into a 1/4 moa without any flags since the PPC is basically non existant for factory ammo.

Once you start adding distance, then external environmental factors come into play that influences where the projectile ends up. A lot happens between the end of the barrel and the target at 1,000 yards.
