    Sentinel 16" 8.6

    Posted by Ron on Dec 4th 2023

    This rifle is awesome. From the look of the gun which is badass to the way it functions, the trigger is smooth, and shooting it is a blast. I have only got to shoot approximately 90 rounds through it. The only thing I would change is the buttstock. Now I cannot wait to get the suppressor ordered. Awesome product

    Sentinel 16" 8.6BLK AR-10

    Took a little bit to get factory ammo, and held off until I had these in had to compare my handloads to. All rounds shot unsuppressed. 45F, first 45 rounds thru the rifle. 3-shot groups of factory Gorilla 210g Barnes TSX, 2.0”, 1.75”, 1.5”. Average 1.75”. Cycled flawlessly. Factory Gorilla 285g Fracturing Subsonic. 11” drop from what I had zero’d the TSX at. Wasn’t too surprised at this. This ammo did not cycle the bolt properly. 3 fail to feed, 2 stove pipes. Again, I was shooting unsuppressed, so I haven’t given up on this factory load. 5-shot group 2.0”. Switched to handloads: Hornady brass, CCI 200, Accurate 1680 pushing Gorilla 285g subsonic fracturing projectile. Ran 3 different powder loads. All cycled flawlessly. All 3 loads hit paper similar to the TSX: 23.0g, 5-shot group 2”. 23.5g, 5-shot group 2”. 24.0g 10-shot group 1.75” For those balking at group size, these were the first rounds thru the gun. She hasn't settled in yet. She shoots better than my numbers show - I know the shots I pulled.

    Beautiful rifle. I can’t give an opinion on how it functions as there is no ammunition available. I will update my review after I have a chance to shoot it a few times.

    Awesome fit and finish, unable to comment on accuracy and shootability due to ammo shortage
