I respect the gunsmiths who build custom benchrest rifles such as Mr. Niksch, Mr. Piatt, and Mr. Langley.
I own their rifles, know their quality and cherish their precision.
I enjoy my two M3s. When shot from a bipod and my shoulder they are a fantastic rifle to shoot.
My 30 cal M3, I purchased used and it shot okay.
Sent it to Mr. Buck, owner of Cape Fear AG LLC, and requested he refurbish it and tune it for 60 yard accuracy.
The rifle went to him like this:
Came back like this:
I was very impressed yesterday with how accurate this rifle is at 60 yards with wind speed from 10 to 14 mph gusting 16 to 24 out of the W, WNW with a less than "Sharp Shooter" grade ground to trigger interface!
The changes to the trigger made by Mr. Buck made the first stage crisp and the second stage snap like a very, very thin glass needle. I could take in the first stage, hold for the correct wind-breath-target-POA and just think squeeze and the shot was sent. This trigger tune is very, very consistent.
The plenum pressure, air valve, macro and micro settings for a 600 mm barrel launching 45 grain diabolos 60 yards is spot on!
Mr. Buck is one hell of a good gunsmith!
Wish I could shoot to the high level his workmanship deserves.
