Accuracy
SWORD prides itself on making some of the most accurate rifles in the industry. Every rifle we produce is capable of sub-MOA accuracy, but performance is dependent upon shooter skill, optics setup, environment, maintenance and especially ammunition.
Gas-operated rifles are more temperamental about ammunition and technique than bolt guns. Certain rifles simply don’t like particular loads, and it’s no reflection on either the ammo or the rifle.
Little can be done to tune a rifle’s tastes to a particular load, and we can’t guarantee performance with specific ammunition. Our rifles will shoot many types of ammunition well, but be willing to try multiple loads to find the best performer.
Be aware that some loads can even vary in performance from one manufacturer’s batch to the next. When you find ammo your rifle prefers, stock up.
Four Commandments of Firearms Safety
Remember the four commandments of firearms safety:
- Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
- Never sweep yourself or anyone else with the muzzle.
- Never place your finger in the trigger guard until you’re ready to fire.
- Be sure that your backstop is safe.
