phunk Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) I built a rifle using the Fulton Armory 18.5", .308, 1x10, Stainless Barrel.http://www.fulton-armory.com/barrelfatitan185nmmedss1x10936gasblock.aspx2 weeks ago I finally got to try it out.I did not follow any break-in procedure. Weather was great, about 74 degrees and light gusts of wind.Using Remington UMC 150g my group size was 3/4" at 100 yards, level of effort probably about 70%. This group was from the end of my scope sight-in and I think I could have done better. (orange target in attached picture)For final sight-in, I moved to Federal GMM 168g. I gave one group my best effort but I had a flyer that I called. 2 of the shots are in the same hole at the top of the bullseye, and my flyer was 5/8" out. (black target in attached picture)Next time out I will click the scope down 1 more elevation and I think this rifle is dialed in. I think this is a .5 MOA barrel, maybe better? I am going to try and get to the 600 yard range here very soon.A $325 barrel? Really? I am pretty happy. Now I just have to learn to take REAL good care of this barrel. Now that I have a tack driver, I want it to stay that way.I mean... my Sig 16" AR15 groups 1" at 100 yards using an Eotech and 3x magnifier, which isnt the easiest to aim at that range. I guess I was just expecting that sub-MOA in a 308 barrel was going to cost twice as much as it did. Edited August 15, 2013 by phunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclops Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Love my FA 18.5" barrel. On;y issue I've had was that M118LR won't function in it, it's too long and caused primer piercing. I switched to M852 and had no issues. Barrel is a tack driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
