Yes, things like "chrome lined bore", "F front site base" (which was actually the correction for a manufacturing error), "rifling twist" and "M16 bolt carrier" (a full-auto carrier in a semi-automatic rifle) are a few of the things you may not desire in a sporting rifle.

In fact, I'd personally avoid every one of them.


That said, the chart is useful in some respects if you evaluate what it's actually telling you.


It's a Colt/mil. spec. commercial in thin disguise, in my opinion. I'd put my D-Tech/Oly Arms rifle up against anything on that chart for predator hunting and come out in good shape, I believe.


There's a reason the Army adopted a dedicated DMR rifle so they could accurately engage targets at long range. It would not score well if put on that chart.


 DMR rifle


Not chrome lined, not 1:7 twist, stainless barrel, no extended feed ramps, no pins in FSB, no hand-guard shields.


Every one of those changes was chosen to increase the accuracy.


I'm just sayin.
