Swiss arms black special/classic green, etc. groups

[nickorette]

Lets see em'. I've searched and can't find any real groups. Only factory eletronic targets.

I need proof you guys aren't a bunch of posers

I know their are people out there with scopes on their swiss arms...

Right now it's a PITA to get .223 ammo. I sighted mine in with 55 grain stuff and it doesn't group worth a damn. I resighted with 62 grain Winchester and it was a lot better (was showing some promise around 1MOA at 100 yards with 5 round groups). Nothing spectacular though. I'd like to try it with some American Eagle, RUAG, and target ammo.

I've managed to get some Lapua 69 grain .223. I'm hoping this isn't too heavy for the 1/10 twist barrel. I'll be waiting for a calm day.

Ultimately I've got to start reloading. The cost of the target grade stuff is extremely expensive. That's if your lucky enough to even find any.

Here is a target I shot at 400 meters from prone off the mag with 77gr. SMK handloads after I re-barreled to 1:7. The rifle wears a Nightforce 2.5x10 NXS scope. I believe there are 54 out of 55 on the target (an IDPA sized silouette), and it was a completely calm, sunny day.

And another...

This one was at 100m for a Swiss Postal shoot with the same rifle/barrel, but with 69gr SMK handloads. First 6 were prone deiberate (5 in the 10 ring cluster and one in the 9, and the 6 remainder were fired rapid prone in under 30 seconds.

I have mine with the counter sniper barrel setup, can't remember what the actual ordering name was. but it shoots 1/2" moa at 100 yds no problem. Problem is unless it is on a bench it is a weird weighted gun to shoot. I have an ELCAN GEN2 on mine. Goofy looking rifle but probably the most accurate rifle out of the box (save the SL8) that has required no mods to get accuracy. Course shooting 55's is a waste of the barrel. It loves the 60s range and even low 70's (of which I've shot very few to be honest but initial results were promising).

trigger was ok - not bad for a main battle rifle gone civy.
