Considerations

  • Lock Time - modern speed lock mechanisms on newer rifles are superior to slow lock times found on older rifles. with good shooter follow though the lock time speed is not as relevant.
  • Barrel centering in stock barrel groove
  • shot grouping - MOA is an acronym for Minutes of Angle, which is a way to measure accuracy. A minute of angle is 1/60th of a degree; it subtends 1.047" per 100 yards of range.
  • options and accessories
  • how cartridges fed (mag, drop down,)
