I also have a Survivor 308 (w/Nikon 4x32 scope) and have had good results (usually cloverleaf pattern with the holes touching).  Just take the time and read thru the "sticky" at the top of the threads.  Lot of good advice.  I added an "O" ring to mine, and cleaned it good.   Also put a couple hundred rounds thru it to break it in.  You should like the rifle a lot.

NEF shoots lights out
« Reply #4 on: January 02, 2006, 07:23:16 AM »
Just returned from my shooting range at my farm,  NEF 308 surival rifle is now shooting into 1/2 inch @ 100 yds., I relieved all forend contact and put a rather large thick rubber o-ring and boy does it shoot now. forgot to add gave it a good cleaning w/ wipeout(good stuff). shooting 150 Nosler accubond into 1/2 inch @ 2700 fps out of 20 inch barrel, not too shabby.. :)
will continue to fine tune but hell of a tree stand gun now..
thanks and I've read the stickys, but would like more input..from those w/ much experience..
thanks,
Doc Stone :-)

Don't know if I should post here , if not someone advise.
Got a NEF receiver a couple wks. ago and just received a smokeless
barrel from SMI inc. (Smoleless Muzzleloader Inc.), so far it shoots very good groups, just wondering if anyone out there has any experience w/ this conversion.  Don't understand the SB2  vs. SB1 designation as I can't find it on either  of my receivers.. one has NNxxxx  and the other NV xxxxx. advise please,
thanks,
Doc Stone :-)

Welcome aboard, Doc.  The SB1 is a shotgun receiver.  The SB2 is the rifle receiver.  They are not made the same.  The SB2 is stronger to handle the higher pressures of rifle ammo.  Check out the factory tour link above, in with the Stickys.  Good Luck with "The Fever".  The Handi Fever. LOL
