Took the a1 to the range last Saturday for some fun. The rifle ran great, I did have two or three failures to extract tho. I believe it was due to lack of oil on the bcg. I threw some oil on that sucker and it ran flawless after that, around 130rds of Federal 55gr fmj. As far as accuracy, it's very acceptable. I was ringing a torso sized steel plate at 200yds with irons consistently. In fact, it kinda got boring....lol. So, we turned our attention to the tanerite bottles. First shot, too high. Second shot, too low. Third shot, BOOM. After I figured out my hold, those bottles had no chance, BOOM BOOM BOOM! Now, I did not take my camera but, shot a couple of pics with my phone. Check them out.
Ignore the targets, I was shooting past them at the 200yd steel torso.
Here's my brother running a mag dry.
From left to right. My brother's M&P .22lr, My buddy's 7" Noveski SBR, and my a1.
The sights were almost dead on for 50/200yd zero. Just had to move the rear sight one click right.
All in all, it's a great rifle. Thanks again Alton.
