Yup, went to rifle heaven today...
« on: July 30, 2013, 11:20:47 AM »
You know, where they are born? Wilson Arms, Branford, CT. I saw barrels full of barrels. Barrels of barrels. It was awesome. I also saw what is apparently a new, or soon to be new, Cooper Arms offering hanging on the wall. .308 semiautomatic displaying an accompanying 100 yd target with 3 shots at about .210 MOA. Hugo, the owner,  said "We guarantee that". HE also said ~ $2600 for what I was looking at. Composite camo stock. Looked kind of like a garand. "Tac" on another $1000 or so for the tactical model.  ;)

"Looked kind of like a Garand" and in .308?

Was it an M14 pattern?

.210 MOA from an M14 is damned impressive.  I'd buy one for $2500.

.210 MOA? Are you SURE it wasn't .230 MOA? Did you measure it yourself with calipers or just take their word for it?

 ;)

Impressive for a .308 autoloader, even for only 3 shots, if they can repeat it on demand.

Lets put it this way, the 3 holes were just barely bigger than one hole. ;)

Maybe an M-14 pattern. I'm not real up on that. It looked similar to either of those two I'd say.
