Yesterday I decided to add to the European family of rifles (TRG, SL8 + CZ858) and ordered a Swiss Arms Black Special Target - I did a search but couldn't determine what people found worked best in this 1:7 twist rifle. I am thinking the heavier bullets would be most appropriate but any recommendations from people who actually own this rifle would be most appreciated. Any other tips or information would also be welcome. Sadly my 'new toy' excitement was tempered by the fact that I had to let an AR go to offset the purchase :-(

Cheers

Bob.
 
It'll eat anything you feed it.
Although apparently the Ruag 62gr (edit: 63gr I guess?) is made for the Swiss Arms.

And congrats! You can now have fun shooting a semi-auto "tactical" rifle anywhere you want, and without worrying about all those ATT shenanigans! :D

Most of the targets are 1:10 twist. I know the one Kodiak was selling was a 1:7. Mine with the 1:10 twist showed some promise with the 62 grain American Eagle. Ironically the 63 grain Ruag ammo that this rifle was designed for shot like crap for me. I have some 62 and 64 bergers I'll be reloading and giving a try. I also plan on seeing if it will shoot 69 SMK.
 
Thanks for the advice lads - mine was the one that Kodiak was selling with the 1:7 twist>

c3pppo - drool as much as ya like so long as ya keep passing the ammo.

Next Federal Election ??? Ha - methinks not !

Cheers,

Bob.
 
I just ordered a 1:7. Seems silly to me to buy one that won't stabilise the heavier bullets, given the accuracy of this gun for long range shooting.
 
Is there any indication or markings on the rifle that indicates the twist rate? I was told mine was a 1:7 but i cannot 100% confirm.

Sure you can. Pull it through with a patch and a cleaning rod make a mark with jiffy marker on the top of the rod at the muzzle and then pull it out until the mark is back on top. Measure the distance the mark is from the muzzle in inches.

Wonder no more.
 
Gee why did I not think of that! Thank you, gota try this when i get back and having a nice excuse to clean her up again.

Maybe I'm just a retarded, but I tried this with a Classic green and I couldn't get a precise lecture. I had to call the factory in Switzerland with the serial number to find out that the dealer who sold it to me was misinformed by the distributor.

I finally managed to get a new one in 1/7 from TSE. My 2 cents.
