ya, ive seen some of those lilja barrels shoot pretty darn good. its wierd about the sako barrel shooting that wildly, must have had crown damage, or just a shot-out bore.The absolute WORST rifle I ever had for not wanting to print was a mid-70's Sako Forrester Deluxe in .308 that I bought as a gift for my dad, new in the box... No matter what ammo, factory or hand load, no matter what the OAL, no matter what I did, it would not shoot. 4 to 5 MOA. I floated the barrel, bedded the action. When my effors failed, I had it all redone by one of the best rifle smiths around at that time.. still absolutely no joy...
It became a safe queen until about 5 years ago, when I dug it out, and Gave it to Jim at One Hole Gunworks (now in WimberlyTx) who refitted it with a 1-12 Lilja
on its absolute best day we might get 8" @100yds with ours, and usually more like 10+"I do know about SKS's. I've never seen one shoot even what I would call bad accuracy. At most they might shoot 7"-8" at 100 yards.
hmm. that has not been our experience at all with the ar-7 (if you are talking about the little henry survival job) we were getting 1-2" @50yds with ours, which was more accurate than our 10/22's (when they were still 10/22's, ie pretty much the only thing ruger left on them now is the receivers lol)Have you guys ever shot an AR-7? It won't do 2'-3' at 25 yards. That's feet, not inches btw and I'm not joking or exaggerating. They're horrible.
My brother's AR-7 was a Century Arms model.
