Not the case with the Barrett. It is a stamped metal case that rattles and will not give the same lockup shot after shot. We have fired some of the newer French ammo through it and get the same results as the Mk211. While it is better than the API, though not by much, it is still over 2 moa as the norm. The Barrett makes it worse.

As far as the Chey Tec, the demo for us and some of the other demos I have heard of, give it about the same planning groups, 4 moa. We got two hits, out of 6, on a 6 x 6 target board at 900 meters with it and that was with the rep shooting, not us. The ammo is also dangerously over pressured and I would be hesitant in shooting it under hot desert conditions. It may be fine at first but he pressures are going to climb.

Hell, as far as planning purposes, if the round is 2 moa that is a 34 inch group at 1500 meters and too big for a human shot, go to 3 moa and you see what I mean, most is BS hype with a lot of luck thrown in. At 900 meters you are looking at almost 20 inches with a 2 moa gun, now go to 4 moa and consistently hitting a human is going to be difficult at best.
