Previously I shot 3-3 shot groups at 200 yds. and averaged .700. If you are looking for a accurate varmint of range rifle this is it. I also shot 68 gr. bthp matches at 200 yards with an average of 1.350 and the 6th shot everytime was the spread the 5 would be inside of a inch.

It has been used in sniper based systems due to the rate of twist (1 in 11 I think) and because it tends to 'like' heavier rounds (I shoot 180 grain through mine). Match grade ammo it is deadly accurate @ 600-700 yards. It is still a neat trick to stretch a .308 out to 1000 though. The M24 is built with the R-5 barrel.
