The .308 yes.But I would hate to change how it shoots.The stock is a HS Precision factory stock.

This is one rifle I'd like to get now.Cheap surplus,I have about 6 cases of the Polish light ball.

Nice pics!

[abpt1]

Well I paid 800.00 Fucking dollars for it now they are 549.99 What The Fuck ? mmmmmk its about 6-8in left and 2 ft down but they land on top of each other I still dont have this damn commie scope figured out FMS !

I hate those scopes,I used one on my Saiga .308 then ditched it for iron sights.Maybe the Krebs rail or the dog leg rail will work on that rifle?

[abpt1]

Dont get me wrong as soon as I get an afternoon that I can play with it and I can figure it out and it should be ok ....

Traded the VEPR in for a Saiga?... ;)

I need to get my bolt guns and take some pictures, all of mine are std weight barrels though so I might have barrel envy...

Nope I still have the Vepr just no pics over it right.I sold the Saiga a couple of years ago.It did not shoot better than the Vepr and hi cap mags were harder to find at the time.M14 mags are better than the Surefire mags.The Vepr is my go to for real shit hit the fan stuff.

Same boat here! Paid $700 for mine and the scope does the same thing as yours. Turrets are maxed-out and can't get the shots to the center of the target.

Howa 1500 .30-06 with cheap glass, but shoots great groups.

Loosen the 2 out side screws on the turret knob and you will have the travel to be able to zero it,and once you zero it hold the top from turninig and rotate the bottom part of knob back to 0 and lock the screws down.this should be done at 50 meters,turn the knob to 1 is 100 meters,2 is 200 meters and so on up to 1000 meters.the sloped range scale to the left is designed for a 5'8" tall human target,put his feet on the flat horizontal line and what ever number his head is on the sloped range scale match the number on the top turret and it will be zero'ed for that range.The windage turret zeros the same.I love my rooskie glass....kman

For just general blasting as well as occasional 400+ yard stuff I have been quite pleased with the performance of the PTR 91.

I bought this rifle back when it was still JLD Enterprises, and it has been consistently accurate IME, using handloads. I learned a whole lot about quality optics from the 4x Hensholdt scope that I bought for it. One doesn't need a whole lot of magnification and clarity of glass makes a big difference. On one particular outing was able to hit a prairie dog on the run at just over 400 yards with the second shot, first one hitting just behind it.

Since this photo was snapped I had Bill Springfield install a paddle magazine release, which was well worth the $100 price tag.

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j187/stubbicatt/PTR%2091/paddle%20mag%20release/IMG_0635.jpg

This CZ550 has proven to be perhaps the finest quality rifle I have owned. It is accurate and fits me well. The more I shoot it the more I like it. I have shot it out to about 800 yards and it performs as I like. The IOR FFP scope with mil/mil adjustments has also been a transformation towards simplicity, and an evolution in my appreciation of good optics.

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j187/stubbicatt/CZ550V/IMG_0811.jpg

Either of these rifles with handloads that they like perform well every time I use them.

DPMS LR-308 AP4, Leupold MK4 LR/T M1 dials, 3.5x10x40mm on Larue SPR-S +20MOA QD mount, Troy front/rear tan BUIS. Troy 13.8 tan Battle rail. Magpul UBR stock and Magpul MIAD grip and Enidine Hydrolic buffer. Larue QD bi-pod mount and Harris swivel 9-13 bi-pod. Badger large charging handle. Full sight radius is nice with the rail, I've hit gas cans out to 600y using Hornaday 168 BTHP match stuff and same grain TAP and love it. When I take her to the range it makes most lust for it and the others scared shitless.

Remington 700 SPS Tac, Badger +20 MOA base and Badger USMC SASS rings. Leupold MK4 LR/T M1 dials, 4.5x14x50mm. Will get Badger magazine conversion, larger bolt knob, trigger guard, and either Bell and Carlson or McMillin A5 stock when money permits. An active project so far. Great pics guys.

[AKTexas]

Excellent pics everyone.

I have one of these:
http://tacshooter.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/tikka-595-tactical/

It will shoot pretty close to what my built BG shoots. Pete who is a member here said it is a poor man's TRG. As it will shoot an inch at 200m using Fed BR not a tailored reload; he wasn't kidding. Although a TRG shoots tighter with an active BR shooter doing the driving; same as everyone else here although I was one I'm not one anymore.

[Richard Simmons]

Large Marge does all my heavy lifting. Twenty round of AP carries a pretty good "bitch slap" farther than I can see to shoot her. Kind of makes you rethink the term "cover" when she breaks bad.

How do you like the Mossbergs?I have seen them as a decent buy for utility and fairly affordable.They look better than the Remington 710.

[aliceinchains]

What model is that winchester lever action.

[raxar]

How do you like the Mossbergs?I have seen them as a decent buy for utility and fairly affordable.They look better than the Remington 710.

I think the mossbergs are a good value, they are right around $250 at wally world, I've had mine for a week (but I've fondled it alot and shot it a bit). the fit and finish are not the best. it's not that it looks bad, it's just obvious they didn't polish it up much. accuracy averaged 2" groups at 100 yards, but that was only with 2 loads, I have a couple more I plan on trying tomorrow. There is also the Stevens 200, and the Marlin, both cost around what the ATR does but are finished nicer (the marlin being the nicest, but the stevens is close). If possible try to get a marlin, they have an adjustable trigger, which is very nice. Even if you pay $40 more for the marlin it's worth it.

As for the 710 and the new Savage edge, I hate them, they seem to be built like crap, like they cut every possible corner during manufacture (the Remington even has a plastic rear reciever tang) I'd stay far away from both

"The accuracy of these rifles is outstanding, routinely shooting .5 MOA straight out of the box. Maybe the most appealing feature of all for this rifle is the price, you should easily be able to order in a new Tikka Master Sporter for under $1000 USD. If your working on a tight budget, but need to have extreme accuracy, the "Poor Man's TRG-21" just might be the rifle for you."

[stubbicatt]

How good are the groups compared to a bolt gun?

In truth, the limitation on groups is me. There was a time when I was a pretty steady shot. I am not that anymore.

Using the iron sights on the PTR and Hornady 155 grain Amax bullets (powder and charge lost in memory somewhere), I was able to keep 3 shots in about 1" at 100 yards off of an ammo can rest, shooting from prone one day. The purpose of my exercise was to verify zero, not to shoot for groups, so that may account for my success! ;) If I were shooting for group I figger Murphy would pull some shenanigan on me.

The bolt rifle will keep 5 in under an inch pretty consistently at 100.

I don't know, but the marvel of each of these rifles is that at longer ranges than one would think possible, I am able to hit surprisingly small targets with regularity. Back in November my son and I went to a place where we shot at 500 yards with the CZ. One of my friends left his heavy steel resetting target shaped like an IPSC target, only smaller, with about a 3" head on it. With a 10x scope it is hard to see the head, but once I was able to make it out, I could ring it pretty consistently on a cold, clear, calm, day at that distance. Now, of course some shots missed, but the rifle surprised me.

It is not a fancy rifle by any means, but it fits me well, and for some reason I feel confident shooting it. I have put maybe 200 to 400 rounds through it, and only now am I noticing a buildup of copper on the lands, which I hope to remove once it warms up a bit in the garage.

I have installed pressure measuring equipment on the rifle, a little gauge superglued on the barrel, which I have found very helpful in gauging my handloads. In all I have been quite content with what I have experienced.
