Ihave a soft spot in my heart for accurate ARs.
The formula for most of them is pretty straightforward.
Without any accessories attached, the standard black model ATC weighs 9 lbs., 8 oz.
This creates an extremely rigid foundation that almost completely isolates the barrel from any outside influence.
Another unique feature of the ATC system is its Accu-Tite Plus system.
This tensioning system utilizes two conical set screws to eliminate any play between the upper and lower receiver.
double-check these are snugged up to remove any excess play between the receivers, which will help maximize accuracy.
Thanks to the integral rail in the forend, I was able to attach my Atlas CAL bipod.
This gave me plenty of magnification for anything I wanted to shoot at and a stable foundation for consistency.
I used some Federal Gold Medal Match loaded with 77-gr.
Sierra MatchKings (SMK) as well as some Federal Match loaded with 69-gr.
I first got the gun on paper with some Winchester 55-gr.
ball; nothing special, but it did produce a respectable 1.5 group.
Switching over to the match ammo really showed what this rifle could do.
But, they still got it done out to 400+ yards.
The chassis also has a single M-Lok location on the bottom.
Its still possible to rig something up, but were getting into the realm of stacking accessories.
For me, the performance of the Springfield Armory ATC cant be denied.
