Fixed: 18" Alexander Arms barrel: 2.5+ MOA

[c3k]

Range day.

I used Hornady 123gr. Black. (Because that's all I've got.) I zeroed the scope at 100 yards. (Bore sighted at 50, checked it with 3 shots, then went to 100.)

The winds were from left to right, 5 gusting to 15 mph, full value. A lot more gusty and very little calm.

Here's my group after sighting in...

A few points:

1. This was my first group after sighting in. It was NOT my best group. It was my ONLY group. (Windy, and two other shooters and I had to get some other reps in.)

2. The shot to the left was one I snapped off trying to time the wind. I called it left as the trigger broke. That one hurts.

3. But, even with that, this is now sub-MOA. (At least for that group, that day! )

Alexander Arms stepped up. I am VERY happy with the barrel and, in fact, with the entire build.

Now, I've skipped over a lot of the actual build process, but the final result is FAR better than what I started with, even before the barrel loosened from the extension.

Thanks for following.
