HK-91 Accuracy
handy...@my-dejanews.com
from terrible accuracy (bad factory trigger, etc) to "just as good as a bolt
action". Does anyone actually use this gun for a serious sniper rifle? How
about with sabot rounds?

expensive. The HK91 I had was fair, 3" @ 100 yds.

leupold 3x9 scope on a ARMS claw mount it still shoots less than 1" at 100yds

Like any general purpose rifle ;-) the accuracy can vary. The one I owned (an
early pre-ban import from HK - not a clone) never got better than 2 MOA (yes I
can shoot better than that). Most of my problems were with the ARMS claw scope
mount I used - it would move around. I finally added enough spring washers to
where it would not move very much and that helped, but it was still a battle
rifle. Some examples will shoot better than that, but if you want assured
accuracy you may have to buy a model variation that is modified for accuracy.
As for sabot rounds - the Remingtons I tried worked OK, but would not work the
action. No big surprise there. I have heard that FN-FALs with their gas
regulator work a little better for this purpose. As for accuracy with sabots -
some guns like them and some guns don't. I have never owned one that hated
them, but then they didn't love them either.
FWIW,

With mine, using a 12x scope and ordinary Remington 150 gr rounds or
Belgian FN surplus ammo, I can easily put five rounds into an inch at
100 yards from a rest. So far, my groups have been good but not
great. For serious accuracy (less than one half MOA), I'd use a high
quality bolt gun.
The trigger is heavy and I have thought of getting a PSG-1 trigger group;
I'm sure this would help. So far, I've just gotten an HK claw mount for it.

Is there any experience in comparing the accuracy among the world's major
modern battle rifles, such FN-FAL, HK91, M14, etc.? I've heard those three
being ranked in that order of best to worst.
Us
or "bush" versions of the SR-25, AR-10, M-1A and SAR -8 (the Springfield Armory
HK-91). All four rifles shot around a minute of angle (1" at 100 yds). I have
had a lot of fun with a HK-91, and have put 5 rounds into 2" at 200 yards with a
scope on it. Sabots in .308 get higher velocities, but don't improve accuracy.
Yes, the HK-91 has a long take up, and is not a "target" trigger - if you want
the sniper version, first find $8,000, then find the HK PSG-1.
My HK-91 and Springfield Armory M-1A supermatch are both great shooters - but I
don't have a .308 bolt action to compare them to, just a FN-FAL (yes, I like .308
semi-autos).

You are right I have the HK-91 and it is fun to shoot. I have
done some extensive testing on the AR10-T, M1A1, FAL (DSA SA-58), HK PSG-1
(SAR8-HBCS) all of them are very accurate precision rifles. I also have found that
the SAR8-HBCS made by Springfield Armory even though it is a cheaper version of the
HK PSG-1 it still gives gives .50-.75" groups @100 yards. To get that precisie
accuracy it uses Federal Match .308. The .308 is still a great round.

hey, don't forget you can get the SR-9T which is the target version of the
HK91. I don't know the details on it, but it's out there and can be had
for about $2500, i think.

Or buy the PSG-1 trigger set for hte HK91. After all, the parts
areinterchangeable. Heck, you can even buy the PSG-1 check rest.

If you're lucky. Here in CA, I've just sold two SR-9's for 2K
and 2.2K. SR-9T's and SR-9TC's go for about 3K and 3.6K respectively.
