just got back from the range
there was a guy with a bullpup 6.5cm deserttech
next to me shooting .5" groups using little circle note stickers
I was amazed.
I was shooting 338 lap but I have been unable to bring my groups under .7" without a bench rest
my fucking scope rings got loose when I was shooting
causing my groups to drop 3" down suddenly
lol
not good
>bullpup
**BEGONE**
I dunno why he would choose that; but from a bolt action perspective it's kinda sensible
in a use case where he actually needed a super precise shot; it's not like he's likely to do significant followups
so cycling the action is not super duper important
he was a really good shooter though
like; he was hitting the center of those fucking little stickers without any problem
I ran out of ladder tests, zoomed in on his target and watched him shoot
I want to get to his skill level
but I do not want to be as obese as he was
giant beer belly
sad thing is; with my SPR (18", SS, Heavy profile ML Gas) AR, I can shoot better followups than with my fucking super expensive 338 lap
First shot I'm generally dead on; everything after that is usually offset because I keep fucking flinching like a pussy
I take it that you have an armory?
not really
aw
I have 4 distinct rifles (AR w/ .458 socom 16", AR w/ 223 wylde 18", Savage FVSR 22lr, and my sako TRG-42 in 338 lap)
and one pistol
The .458 was just a workaround; I didn't want to need to ditch my standard cap kits so I re-labeled them all to 458
Also; I did want to buy a 45/70, and this is just as good
I don't really have anything milsurp, although I might get ahold of a M1A in 308 so I can go 2 gun
I didn't want to go and get some rifle that would get me halfway to 2000Y
so I wasn't really attracted to 6.5CM
Would a clockwork or otherwise heavily built trigger mechanism fix the bullpup trigger issue?
So that there's no metal flex involved or shenanigans from shitty trigger linkages
yeah
there are a handful of good designs
some of them rely on sear based pin drops
i.e. the trigger group is still in the handguard, but the pin assy is linked with a long L bracket that catches on the sear
The only thing that has bothered me about bullpups is a assessablity of the magazine. If there was a way to do a mag change while keeping the barrel pointed at what i was engaging it would be more appealing.
It might just be something to practice but i dont think i have every seen some able to do this
Maybe it is just because all i have every really trained with was an M4
