Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the Stag 10S .308 rifle?

The Stag 10S .308 demonstrated good accuracy with 168-grain ammunition, achieving 10-shot groups between 1.5 to 3 inches at 100 yards. The best group measured 1.2 inches center-to-center, even with a hot barrel and multiple shooters.

What is the effect of the VG6 muzzle brake on the Stag 10S?

The VG6 muzzle brake on the Stag 10S effectively mitigates recoil, allowing for faster follow-up shots and better sight picture retention. However, it significantly increases muzzle blast and noise.

What ammunition performed best in the Stag 10S .308?

168-grain ammunition, particularly Federal Premium Gold Medal Match, performed best in the Stag 10S. Lighter 150-grain ammunition was too light for the barrel's twist rate and resulted in poor accuracy.

What upgrades were made to the Stag 10S?

The Stag 10S was upgraded with a Geissele trigger for a lighter and smoother pull, and an Adaptive Tactical stock for improved recoil absorption and shooting comfort.
