I have a pair also. 20" SFAR has been reliable and accurate, 5/8" best and about 1" average at 100 yds. My GSR is a blued 16" with the plastic stock. It's sub 1" easily. Very light and the factory brake really tames the recoil. I mostly shoot it with the iron sights. The GSR might be my choice...
I bought a 20" when they first came out. Now at 450-ish rounds. A few misfeeds with very light loads on gas 2, worked fine on gas 3. Gas 2 on everything else which cycles perfectly. Good ejection pattern and generally .75 to 1 1/2 MOA and getting better with tailored loads. Prefers 130-150 grain...
I find a padded front rest works best with conventional rifles when shooting from a bench. For AR and many chassis rifles (like a Ruger Precision for example) bipods are better for best accuracy from a bench. Bipods are generally used for bench or prone shooting while sticks are more for...
I also have a Gunsite Scout like the OP's. !6" blued with the synthetic stock in 308. The factory brake absolutely works. The synthetic stock has a big aluminum front bedding block and a big pillar at the rear. The action screws stay tight and my rifle is very accurate, 3/4 moa easily. I use QD...
I have a Standard FDE synthetic and a Scout black synthetic bought new in '21 and '22. Both are really good. !00% reliable cycling and 1 to 1.75 moa with a variety of ammo. Nice smooth rifling on both. Barrels are indexed perfectly. Windage is within 2 clicks of centered on the rear sight on the...
#9 works great in 223! At 9-10 gr. with 55 gr jacketed bullets, pressures are low enough to use magnum pistol primers which conserves my small rifle primers. Accuracy with several bolt rifles is easily under 1" at 100 yards. They are quiet, recoil is nil and I can shoot a lot more of them before...
The original Vaquero the OP seems to have is safe with hot loads being talked about in this thread. It should be noted the New Model Vaquero has a smaller frame and cylinder and cannot use these hot 45 Colt loads.
Lowering pressure by loading longer will tend to decrease powder burn efficiency, especially with slower powders. Seating depth tuning with mid-speed powders like BE 86 and Unique can be interesting and fun.
That's plenty acceptable accuracy for a 44 mag rifle. My Henry Single Shot 44 mag won't usually group any better than that. My Ruger 77/44 is about the same. My most accurate load for both rifles is with Zero 240 HP's over 8.5- 9.0 grains of BE 86 in magnum cases. This load with a 4x scope will...
I bought one of these in 450 Bushmaster. I'm impressed with the quality and accuracy. Good trigger, too. I have two Henry single shot rifles, a 44 mag and a 30-30. The CVA has the hammer lower in the receiver than the Henry so the scope can mount lower on the CVA. I'm looking for a single shot...
My Mini 14 Ranch, a 583 with the wood stock, started dropping the trigger assembly after about 800 rounds. The fix is simply to put the finger guard in a padded vice and squeeze it a little to shorten it. This makes it latch much more firmly.
I have medium sized hands. At first, the 97 grip felt almost too large. I added the CZ rubber grips and shot it enough to get used to its size, which is really not all that big. I think the "large" grip may have something to do with the low perceived recoil. Mine is not modded in any way, the...
I have both a PSA AR-9 16" and a Ruger PCC carbine, both using Glock mags. I shoot the Ruger more. It has a really good factory trigger, 100% cycling with a wide variety of ammo and less gas to my face than the AR-9. I have had one out of battery firing with the AR and occasional doubling (fixed...
Just got a CVA Scout in 450 Bushmaster and took 20 shots with it today at a 50 yard indoor range to zero the scope. Handholds with three types of bullets easily went into 1/2" for Hornady .452" rifle bullets and 1" with .451" pistol bullets. It's a bit of a thumper but it has a really good butt...
I have recently bought an M1A Standard Synthetic and an AR 10 (DD5V3). My M1A is easily 1 to 1.5 moa scoped, and 2-ish moa with the standard, excellent, iron sights. Accuracy of the DD is only a little better. I use these rifles as range toys. The M1A is maybe more fun to shoot partly because...
I had a minor ka-boom in an STI Trojan 45. First two rounds fired normally, the third, WHAM! The slide was about 1/3 open, the magazine still in the pistol. I was not injured. I managed to get the magazine free and it was charred some. The top two rounds were blackened and the coated lead RN...
