Rainier Arms Select 5.56MM Barrel

Nice indeed. The ACOG TA01 isn't exactly a benchrest optic.

No, it isn't, but sometimes you have to use what you have!

Nice indeed. The ACOG TA01 isn't exactly a benchrest optic.

That's what I was thinking. I used to hunt a lot, owned some really nice rifles and excellent scopes, hand tailored reloads from a rest, so I can tell you that 3.0 inches at 300 yards with a 16" barrel, tactical rifle, and ACOG scope is a pretty darned fine shooting weapon to say the least! I'd hold on to that one.

You know, back then I didn't have a lot of magnified optics as I do now, I wish that I could do this test again with a 1-4x Optic in the exact same conditions. I bet I could probably get SUB-MOA with this barrel. Funny how much prices have come up on barrels since 2010!
