ordered one of these yesterday. Masterpiece arms BA-308($2300) & will be trying it out on FiremanJG's Class sometime this spring. will be topped with a SWFA 6x20x50 FFP mildot. There really is not much info on the web as the rifle is so new. Anyone have one or played with one yet? has a Accuracy Guarantee of 1/2 MOA. but reports of .2 to.4 all day long if its broken in and you do your part w/ off the shelf federal Gold metal match ammo.
