Re: Upgrade my rifle or switch
Ulf, I think one of the new short-bolt rifles might be more accurate in the long run. Every report from Grunig/Bleiker/KK500* owners I've heard or read has emphasised that these are tolerant of ammo, that more batches shoot small round groups. The short bolt would also be an advantage. The disadvan...

Re: Upgrade my rifle or switch
sounds like you're comfortable with your current rifle, and everybody is going to tell you finding that killer lot of ammo is a continuous search, but I would say find a competent gunsmith and put a new barrel on. But, just to reemphasize, searching for the "lot" is never ending Thanks fo...

Re: Upgrade my rifle or switch
Gulf, 20-30,000 rounds isn't high "mileage" at all over 13 years. So if you bought the rifle new, not used, barrel wear should not be an issue for some time. When I mentioned 20mm groups I didn't have a particular dimension in mind. Technically a group up to 21.6km (maximum vertical or ho...

Re: Upgrade my rifle or switch
Also, have you shot on a Scatt? How do your 50m prone scores and group sizes compare between the Scatt and live fire? If they're close, there probably won't be much gained. I have shot a scatt but I do not own one and don't think I have enough data to draw any conclusion from that experience. The o...

Re: Upgrade my rifle or switch
11mm wide by 13-14mm vertical outside-to-outside at 50m is pretty good. That said, I suspect a tuner would take some of the vertical out of your groups. Thanks for replying. Well as I stated I consider this good not great compared to testing I did say 10 years ago. What I need help with is deciding...

Re: Upgrade my rifle or switch
Ulf, If you're shooting average 624-629 decimal scores with your FWB2700, it's not doing too badly (actually very well). I think you are right not to expect a KK300 or 1913 to vastly more accurate; you might be lucky and get one that is, or unlucky, and it's no better or a little less accurate. It ...

Hi! First time posting on this forum so hello everyone:) Im a shooter from Norway, and I've been shooting for about 17-18 years now. I guess I have to consider myself quite a decent shooter, but when it comes to equipment I dont have first hand experience with too many different guns etc. I have see...
