Thank you guys. Hitting Tenoroc Range in Lakeland, FL tomorrow early morning.

Charlie, out to 150 yds with tremendous precision using Federal Automatch or Aguila Hyper velocity. And this is out of the stock barrel and rifle stock (non-floated).

I've seen projects with Kidd components (bull barrel and drop-in trigger group), and those fancy boyds rifle stock. Then using ammo that's hot (over 1,400 ft/sec muzzle velocity) you can accurately group around 1" - 3" at 300-400 yds.

But it gets expensive to build such a rifle. Look up Kidd components, pricey.
