NRA Publications Visit to Ashbury Precision Ordnance

Ashbury Editorial Staff — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:06:32 +0000

Last week we literally had a blast hosting a visit from the NRA Publications Editors. We spent an afternoon shooting steel targets out to 500 yds with a host of smaller Pepper Poppers thrown in for good measure. Thursday was a challenging day for wind calls while shooting the smaller calibers on small targets, but the .338LM and .50BMG over ruled wind gusts approaching 25MPH. Most shooting was done suppressed which made for a very civilized and enjoyable live fire range event shooting .308Win, .338 Lapua Magnum and .50BMG. The TCR300 in .300WM was un-suppressed and hammered 300 to 500 yard targets with RUAG SWISS-P 220gr Target ammunition despite those high winds.

Highlights of the range day was firing the ASW338LM suppressed with CORBON .300gr Subsonic ammunition , which was quieter than most pellet rifles while shooting targets at 400 yds! We shot the ASW308 with RUAG SWISS-P 200gr Subsonic ammunition which was even quieter! Both calibers yeilded accuracy of 1 MOA or less at range. The NRA Publications guys nailed a series of very challenging 350yd Pepper Popper shots with the ASW308 and 200gr subsonic ammo with wind calls of up to 1 mil right wind. Very nice shooting gentlemen! All in all a fantastic afternoon on the range.

APO at the 2011 International Sniper Competition

Ashbury Editorial Staff — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 18:37:31 +0000

We’d like to congratulate the US Army Sniper Association and the Cadre of the US Army Sniper School for conducting another successful sniper competition and of course the sniper team winners!

1st Place: 3rd Group Special Forces (Airborne)

2nd Place: IRISH DEFENSE FORCES

3rd Place: 1st Special Warfare Training Group (SWTG)

Below are a few pictures from the vendor range day.

Great job everyone!

A US Army Sniper Instructor firing the ASW308 with a LRA Light Tactical Bipod, S&B 3-12x50 day optic and AAC 7.62 SD suppressor. Most down range targets consisted of tank hulks at around 400m. Army snipers picked out small targets on the hulks and hammered them!

As usual the ammunition provided by RUAG was superb! The ASW308 20" Pinnacle Series barrel really performed well with the SWISS-P 176gr TARGET and delivered sub MOA performance! Over the course of the vendor demo attendees quietly fired over 150rds. This was most excellent!

The firing points provided a bit of a challenge having to shoot through tall grass. The LRA bipod was moved to the rear of the Quattro Forend, legs fully extended to get the necessary height and still was rock solid. The SABER field monopod was completely extended.

Here's a view of the targets thru a VECTOR 21 binocular laser range finder w/BE-10xT optical range enhancer at approximately 400M.

Another Sniper Competition attendee getting down behind our rifle.

Lots of good vendor support for the sniper competition. In addition to the ASW308 we brought along our ASW50 outfitted with an AAC Cyclops suppressor.

In addition to the ASW50 (the big package) on the table that little guy is an RSA-A3 MOD-1 made for the Rem700 Short Action and other short action clones.

The ASW50 has been making strong progress in on-going tests delivering 1MOA accuracy with MK211 ammunition. Of course we never go to a range shoot without our trusty Sniper Field Tool Kit.

Father of Modern Marine Corps Sniping Visits Ashbury

Ashbury Editorial Staff — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 20:18:40 +0000

On August the 25th, Ashbury International Group was privileged to host a visit by retired Marine Major Jim Land, the current Secretary of the National Rifle Association. Major Land, as he is generally referred to, served multiple tours in Vietnam and is known as the “Father of Modern Marine Corps Sniping”. As a Captain, he was the Commanding Officer of Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, the subject of the book Marine Sniper.

Ashbury International Group is fortunate to have a connection to Major Land through Gary Gregory, the Ordnance Production Manager here at Ashbury Precision Ordnance. Gary is a retired marine Master Sergeant and spent many years in the Marine Corps serving with Major Land as a gunsmith for the Shooting Teams. Since retiring they have maintained a close friendship over the years.
