It will be more in the range of the SR9 as it has a select barrel vs. a standard AR barrel such as on the HK91.What is your opinion on where the MR762 would fit in this comparison for accuracy?
True, but what shooter consistently capable of shooting .25 MOA groups would select the PSG-1 if given free rein (especially if it is one fitted with the old 6x scope)? With the exception of all-out accuracy, the 417 would probably get the nod for every other aspect (save coolness factor as that goes to the PSG1)It will be more in the range of the SR9 as it has a select barrel vs. a standard AR barrel such as on the HK91.
The PSG1 is in a class of its own capable of .25 MOA groups with the right ammo and shooter.

MSG90's aren't FA.I would compare a 417 to an MSG90 because of the FA.
I would like to hear more about the HK choosing process of "select" vs "standard" barrels, and whatever grade name is of the PSG1 barrels. Are there different grades of steel? Different inspections to pass? It would be good info to know.It will be more in the range of the SR9 as it has a select barrel vs. a standard AR barrel such as on the HK91.

My 91 is in that 1.5 moa area, maybe a little smaller/maybe a little bigger. I haven't shot it in years. My SR9TC, is most definitely sub moa and I had never gotten around to finding what pet load it liked. Had a friend with a SR9 with a PSG-1 trigger pack and I couldn't get that thing under 1.75 moa to save my life and that was with match ammo. Anyway.......my experience is pretty much in line with what you are stating.Did a poll here years ago and the SR9 shooters fell into two similar sized groups, those getting sub MOA (with one guy getting one hole groups every time) and those getting similar groups to a good clean scope HK91 with a good trigger and scope, something averaging around 1.5MOA (more than one and less than two ;-). Never saw any log books, averages or even how many round groups were fired or what ammo was used for the most part, so the "data" is really just stories. My two take aways were than Federal AE 150 FMJ worked as an ok shooter grade ammo (which is does) and that unless I wished to spend the cost of a PSG1, a bolt gun was a lot easier to get tiny groups with (the Sako TRG-42 in 338LM does just under 0.4 MOA with 3 shot groups ... still not a PSG1 but was a "gift" from a friend).
