Responsible Tam: "It's not really a milsurp, you know. They're supposed to be only 2-MOA at best, and you'll need to add a new caliber to your stockpile."
As usual wrong information.
You have a strange definition of milsurp. If this is not milsurp than neither would any of the other sniper rifles the worlds militaries have used. I remember seeing pictures of communist troops in uniform with this rifle. And we all know what they were used for.
These rifles are very accurate. The problem lies not with the excellence of this very high quality weapon but with the quality of the ammo. Fed good ammo which is very difficult to find the guns are capable of phenominal accuracy. A buddy of my has one and we cooked up some hand swaged jacketed match bullets and the gun shot 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch groups all day long.
A word of warning though. Be very carefull if shooting military surplus steel cased garbage ammo. Its not only very inaccurate but the steel cases will sometimes stick in the chamber and when they do it is very easy to break the extractor on this rifle and there are no parts whatsover available for it. We had to make an extractor and then heat treat it when my buddy broke his. Our design was made to take a licking and keep on kicking and it is still doing so two years later. And no we won't make one for anyone else that needs one. WE are not set up for mass production.
Another alternative is to use cast bullets if you do not what to lay out the cash for all the equipment necessary to swage your own jacketed bullets.
Another alternative would be to contact custom bullet makers that might be willing to make a large quantity for you. A group buy would probably be necessary to get them interested.
The rifle in and of itself is a very desirable collectors piece even if you never shoot it but the quality of the weapon begs for shooting.
Just remember do not let the nay sayers stop you from getting one of these very desirable rifles. Its not for the average Joe who does not reload and knows little about advanced hand loading procedures but for the advanced collector and reloader and ammo creator its not all that much of a challenge.
