POTD: Sub-MOA Remington 700 in .300 BLK (The syringe powered trigger release is also pretty cool)
Published: May 21st, 2015
Matt sent us a photo of his Remington 700 chambered in 300 Blackout. I like the nifty trigger release device, thats one way to eliminate human error when testing accuracy. Matt wrote …

I've been testing a .300 BLK AR-15 from Shaolin Rifleworks and it's a 1 MOA or better rifle in a reliable semi-auto platform that's running both super- and sub-sonic loads for me without tinkering! They promise 1 moa or better in the .300 carbines and 1/2 or better in .223 and .308. Pretty freaking good in an auto-loader! ! !
Excellent work! I just can't figure out why anyone would use. 300 BLK versus a perfectly good 5.56? Even the manufacturer says the moa shift for 5.56 is 1/2 versus 1 moa in. 300. 5.56 is less expensive, has a longer lethal range, weighs less, and has greater widespread availability. What am I missing?
