Fact: Every rifle suffers from "Improper Barrel tuning" - every rifle barrel , every make , every year of manufacture ! Until now, there wasn't much you could do other than spend high dollars , and wait a long time for an expensive custom barrel job!
NOW, Barrel tuning can and is done every day by guys like you and me. No gunsmiths , no high dollar rebuild, no long hours of gouging and filling your stock with auto putty and most of all - no need to rebarrel your favorite gun. Our prime concern has been to combine harmonic tuning and functional utility with quality products at a price a working man could afford. We are working with engineers and custom suppliers - we will soon be offering a more complete full line of Tactical Accessories and mounts , Weaver style rails , scope rings and multi functional adapters.
A Mini-14 that will shoot minute of angle?
Stop wasting Money
Eccerpt from an article at Shooting Illustrated:
Barrel harmonics, or the vibration of the barrel during firing, can greatly affect point of impact and group size. Functions that occur within a rifle such as the firing pin striking the primer, the ignition of the propellant, the expansion of the propellant gases and the bullet’s contact with the rifling as it travels through the bore all produce a number of vibrations that are ultimately transmitted to the barrel. These vibrations cause the barrel to move in an arc, even before the bullet has exited the bore. If these vibrations were absolutely consistent, there would be a lot of rifles shooting one-hole groups. However, their magnitude and duration vary from shot to shot, and five bullets may leave the bore when the muzzle is at five different points on the vibration-induced arc. In part, this is why even a very tight group will still somewhat resemble a triangle.
One way to control vibration is to add weight to the barrel, which soaks up the impulses. The heavy barrel on the Target Rifle works together with the harmonic dampener to reduce the amplitude of the arc, making bullet exit, and therefore point of impact downrange, more consistent. Different loads, of course, can produce different amounts of vibration, and the ability to adjust the harmonic dampener allows the shooter to tune the barrel to obtain the best accuracy with any given ammunition.
A beefy barrel does not a target rifle make, so Ruger continued overhauling the Mini-14 by giving it a stock eminently suited for shooting from the bench. The thumbhole buttstock has a large, triangular-shaped cutout just behind the pistol grip that not only lets the thumb encircle the pistol grip, but also provides a stable shelf on which its fleshy base can rest. Along with the slight swell to the pistol grip, the design promotes a steady, repeatable hold.
Ruger's Mini 14 : The stocks high, slim comb rises slightly at the heel and digs into the cheek for a tight weld. So it will nestle solidly into a sandbag, the toe is rather thin and parallels the comb for 3 inches. The stocks lower line then curves dramatically upward before running forward to the pistol grip, forming a hook for the non-shooting hand to press against and keep the rifle firmly settled on the bench. Three removable, black plastic spacers just forward of the rubber buttpad let shooters adjust the stocks length of pull from 14 to 15-1/2 inches in 1/2-inch increments. In keeping with the theme of the Target Rifle, Ruger gave the fore-end a 2-inch-wide flat spot to make it easy to rest the gun on sandbags or hold in an offhand position. The stock is constructed of a gray laminate that complements both the stainless finish of the rifles metal and the black handguard.
A Mini-14 that will shoot minute of angle? I, too, was skeptical. But to give the Target Rifle a fair chance, I topped it with a Sightron SII Big Sky 4.5-14x42 mm scope and waited for a calm day to test Ruger?s claim. I picked the 55-grain soft-point load from Black Hills to start. The first several groups from the 100-yard line were around 2 1/2 inches , pretty much what I expected from a Mini-14 and certainly nothing to write home about. Then I began playing with the position of the harmonic dampener and shot as many holes in the criticisms of this autoloader's accuracy as I did targets. With this particular load, the rifle liked the forward end of the harmonic dampener to be positioned about 3/4 inch behind the muzzle. Thusly tuned, it produced five, five-shot groups that averaged 1.03 inches. Pretty dang close, and two of those groups measured inside the minute-of-angle standard. I tried several other loads, including some with match bullets weighing between 69 and 75 grains, but none of them delivered the accuracy of my first pick. The runner-up was the 50-grain Winchester Supreme Ballistic Silvertip load, which averaged 1.10 inches after 25 shots. Perhaps with a little more tweaking I could find the harmonic dampener's sweet spot with these other loads and shave a little from their group sizes.
You want to buy yourself a quality riflescope without paying too much for it. If you're wondering who makes quality scopes? Leupold, Nikon, and Burris are some popular brands on the market.
So, how do you shop for a rifle scope that fits your game? It mainly depends on three things: the type of shooting you do, the type of gun you use, and your personal preferences for features like reticle type and color.
The best way to find out what rifle scope is right for you is by knowing the basics anatomy of a rifle scope and how it works. Once you grasp the basic knowledge of scopes you'll be able to make a more informed choice of what scope to buy.
Rifle Scopes: How do they work? Rifle scopes work by magnifying an image and by placing your eye on the same optic plane as your target. Since magnification works by bending light rays via a number of lenses within the scope, the higher the power of magnification, the longer the scope. In other words, low powered rifle scopes are shorter and contain smaller lenses.
The similarities that all riflescopes share include a reticular or crosshair, a dot, a post or similar markings to help align the device with the target. A reticle or crosshair is a shape, usually a " +" shape, superimposed on an image (target) to aid with the alignment of the device. Some reticles use dots to mark the center of field of view or a post or similar markings to help view and centre the image through the scope. Rifle scopes also work to eliminate the problems associated with open sights, and allow for precise shooting.
Anatomy & Terminology of a Rifle Scope A rifle scopes contains two tubes, one within the other. The inner tubes refracts light for magnification purposes, while the outer tube protects the inner tube and provides a mount for the three of the parts found in rifle scopes. All riflescopes contain about the same ten or so parts. These parts include:
1) Eye Piece: Attaches to the eye-bell and holds the ocular lens.
2) Ocular Lens: The lens nearest to your eye.
3) Eye Bell: Houses the eye piece and gets attached to the tube.
4) Eye Relief: Refers to the distance between your eye and the ocular lens when you see the full field of view. The larger the eye relief the better the riflescope.
5) Power Ring: Allows you to rotate and change the magnification on the scope.
6) Windage Adjustment: Changes the aiming point of the scope on the horizontal plane (left/right).
7) Elevation Adjustment: Shifts your aiming point along the vertical plane (higher/lower).
8) Tube: Provides a mount for the eye piece, eye-bell and objective bell.
9) Objective Bell: Encases the objective lens and the tube gets attached to it.
10) Objective lens: Collect the light that enters the scope. The higher the magnification the larger the diameter of the objective lens.
11) Adjustable Objective Lens (AO): Fixes the parallax error by adjusting the objective lens. A parallax error is caused in a medium to high powered microscope, when the scope's "eye" is not focused at the right distance.
