@cory id love to have precision firearms chamber the barrel they seem to have a great reputation for great work just out of my price range once you factor in having to pay to rush the order and thread it, both of which Lilja doesn't charge extra for. thanks for the advice and list!
@wraith1516 i have seen reports of great accuracy and then others had less luck and wound up with around 1 moa which wouldn't work. You definitely have a shooter with that one though!
@Buster thanks for the link yea those look great. Im assuming the second target was after a slight break in? That or you impressively got 6 rounds in three holes? either way that second group would fit my bill nicely! I also plan to use the luth ar mba stock are you/ your son still liking it?
@cst i debated hard on going that route, even called Lilja to see if they would cut a 20' 319 contour to get the best of both worlds. They said they might but i would have to wait until the next time they did a batch (possibly several months). So i decided i would rather have as much barrel for velocity reasons since I want to stretch it out as far as i can while still being able to comfortably wield in the field. For me that was 20-22 inches. I was afraid i would miss the velocity when I got the chance to really see how far this rifle could run. However, I am unfamiliar with the exterior ballistics of this round to a degree that I don't know if this is indeed the case? Feel free to enlighten me if you have evidence that a few inches wont matter when shooting 6-800yards.
Thanks again for all the input!
