If only I had some where to push the limits of a rifle like that.

The military-only version shoots 3 shot groups in an area the size of a dime, civilian-versions under a quarter at 100 yards.

 

 

sounds really cutting edge.. my $1000 308 DPMS AR does about that if not better..

Accuracy I'm sure can be tweaked, as with any arm. I wouldn't look for a Breitbart sports writer to have the full dope. The .300 Winny Mag. does have a 400 fps advantage over the .308 with most all bullet weights, which is the advantage.

the gun is like 6 grand.... and while I am not saying my cheap off the shelf AR is better.. I am saying that you are paying an awful lot to gain a little distance.. which is all it is really coming down to..

Agreed. .300 Winny in an AR format is an interesting twist.
