Marksmanship) course. Here the
rifle was tested at ranges from
25 yds. to 1,000 yds. on warm
sunny days (85° F), and cool rainy
days (50° F), and shooting through
winds that at times required holds
and adjustments of more than 50".
Accuracy testing was conducted
on a 100-yd. range at 340 Defense
near Charles Town, W. Va. A second
SR-762 was used and it, too, was
topped with an XTR II, this one in
the 3-15X 50 mm configuration. As
the table on p. 49 shows, ammunition from Barnes, Hornady and
Norma USA was selected for testing. The day of testing was clear
with temperatures in the low 60s.
Finally, velocity was measured
with the same gun and ammunition
as was tested for accuracy at an
indoor, climate-controlled 50-yd.

CALL ME TOUGH AND INDEPENDENT
ALL YOU WANT.
But since I don't like clichés, I'd rather you call
me confident and in control. That's why I choose
to carry. It's not about rebelling against the
status quo. It's about feeling empowered.
And that's what I am.
Confidence is in my DNA.
The Results
My time in Texas was an excellent
opportunity to wring out the SR-762.
The climate varied throughout the
course, and shooting was conducted
from the prone, as well as field
shooting positions. The rifle was a
current-production example with
about a 6-lb. trigger. Throughout
the course it performed flawlessly,
even being exposed to dust and
dirt and enduring bumpy Jeep rides
between ranges. The scope and rifle
never lost zero, and the accuracy
of turret adjustments in the Burris
made me a firm believer in not only
the XTRII optics, but also the dialfor-range technique. Groups shot
on 100-yd. paper targets averaged
right around 1", and good engagements on steel targets out to 600 yds.
were consistent and repeatable. At
800 yds. and beyond the challenge
increased, but this is to be expected
given a 16" barrel and the .308 Win.
cartridge. Frankly, given those
considerations and adding the broken terrain and gusting winds, any
long range hits would have seemed
miraculous; the fact that I rang steel
time and time again, therefore, is a

A little beauty with a big, powerful
punch. Easy to carry with a 3.5-inch
barrel, fixed sights and 7-round mag.
