Tac Ops-Mike Miller post

I did.
To be 100% fair Mike told me they did send out this barrel and thats what they were told by the company that measured it. Somehow they came up with an average bore center (since the bore is not that good) and the chamber was within 2 millionths of that. What can I say other than I was wrong about my assumptions. Im not sure how they came up with an average but they did. So I apologize, even if I still believe thats not something that can be measured to that level.
Apology accepted.
I genuinely respect what you do.
 
Dont you think if these guns shot like that mike and every other ftr shooter would be smashing records? Dont you think every shooter at prs matches that actually shoot that style of gun would be smashing records with one? Dont you think a guy would show up at a br match and win it all off a bipod just laughing all the way if they shot like that? Im sure they are nice, shoot very well and again id sure like to try one myself, but people that have guns that shoot like that dont keep them away from matches, they go out and show off. Does mike miller compete in ftr with one right now? I dont remember seeing his answer
No, I don't, because they're not FTR guns!
No I don't, because no one shoots 308win in PRS!
No I don't, because it's not a BR gun.
Don't you think?

Was there any discussion on what equipment was used to do the measuring? Or, if there is a reasonable expectation that the company doing the measuring would have equipment that could measure to the millionths?
 
A laser, thats all. I didnt go into it deeper. We agreed the lapped finish and bore/grooves are not even close to that but somehow they came up with an average and used that. Fair enough. As a gunsmith, if you have the best bearings and indicators you can split tenths. So 50 millionths is not out of the question. Thats as good as our tools get. I indicate in the center of each groove. I did not think of them using an average. You would need to do that to calculate to the millionth. You could not take a set of points and do it sense those set of points would not be consistent enough to make a claim like that.
 
Tell me you've never shot PRS without telling me you've never shot PRS.
Do you honestly think those “snipers” that shoot prs leaves a gun at home that would win just to shoot what everybody else shoots? I can remember for a few years they were mad about the 308 dying out and the sport was losing its intended purpose. And as far as ftr- gotta shoot a 308 or 223 from a bipod- how could you even go to a match with anything but a tacops if they are that good. I guess nobody in ftr knows about them but mike miller

Again, tell me you don't shoot PRS without telling me you don't shoot PRS. No one's winning with a 308.
Do they shoot FTR at 100yards?
 
The guys winning PRS are guys who can watch their own bullets in their scope to impact. Try that at 600 yards off a barricade with a 450 Rigby.
Just more REEEEEE.
