NativeCraft,
With the way my BAR shoots, even if I was shooting
factory ammo, I would not get a BOSS. I had some
Winchester factory 150 gr. ammo, left over from an
episode with a T/C Encore, that I needed factory ammo
to prove it shot like...Well less than a Minute of
Angle accurate, like the T/C ad claimed, so I shot
up the Silver box Winchester ammo, in my BAR, and
I can't say it was .5 MOA, but it was just under 1 MOA.
I think if you found some "premium" ammo that the
BAR liked, you could get nice sub MOA groups, if the
rifle is capable(As with all rifles, some BARs are just
average shooters, like 1.5 MOA, or so).
I wasn't aware that there was a BOSS version that was
not a muzzle break. This might be worth a shot.
There is one other point to BAR's, that hasn't been
mentioned, and that is their triggers SUCK. So maybe
instead of spending money on a BOSS, where you may find
premium factory ammo, gives you excellent hunting accuracy,
spend the money on getting that trigger worked on. I hear
there are a couple of places that specialize in BAR
trigger work. That is where I am going to spend my
money, if I can't get mine better, this off season.
I have done a number of trigger jobs, with good results,
on several different brands of bolt action rifles, but
this BAR trigger is a different critter. I need to
take up about 4 feet of creep /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif, and if I can't
figure out how to do that, then the trigger group is
going to an expert. This trigger is almost a two stage,
that is how much creep in in it. Some lawyer should
be shot for this design, by a rifle with this trigger.
But that is my only complaint...Well actually I have one
more. The owner's manual has the audacity to call this
trigger "crisp". A 3 month old cracker, sitting out in
heavy dew is crisper than that trigger /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif Like
putting "Crisp" in the manual, is going to convince the
reader that the trigger is crisp. I guess maybe some
pork sausage fingered once a year deer blaster might
consider this trigger crisp, or some Browning lawyer,
but from a guy that has all of his other triggers in
the 1.5 to 2.5 lb pull force, with minimal travel, this
AIN'T CRISP. Rant off.
OK, I feel better now /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
