I didn't ask for anything either as we had a tough year with a lot of unplanned expenses. So the wife and I are going without to make sure that Santa can take care of our son this year.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
The best AR10 for long distance shooting is whichever one you can trade for an M1A. Sorry IndianaBoy... I couldn't resist :D
I'm not an AR10 guy, but a buddy swears by his Ruger SR-762. If you've got the cash, a GAP10 from GA Precision is up in the top tier.
A standard M1A uses the trigger group to anchor the receiver in the stock. A double lugged M1A has lugs added to the front and rear of the receiver. These are threaded and use screws to anchor the receiver in the stock. The stock must be inletted to accommodate the lugs.
Here's a link...
As a matter of fact, I took my M1A out of the safe a couple weeks ago and worked up some new loads using some Nosler 168gr CC. With my hand loads, I was getting .88MOA.
With USGI M118, I was getting .58MOA. I didn't include the last shot in that group since the wind blew my target...
If your buddy is serious about mid-to-long range shooting with an M1A, then he'll likely want to look into having one built by a reputable gunsmith who is intimate with the M1A/M14. As previously mentioned, the cost will be steep.
I shot my M1A across the course in NRA/CMP highpower matches...
The tipped 77gr MK has a higher BC, which nears that of some 80gr bullets. Whether or not the bullet is more accurate is going to depend on your rifle and load data. These are NOT cheap either ($172/500)
You'll see the benefit of the higher BC at longer ranges. If you're shooting...
I took this past Friday off so I went down to CRPC and gave this a shot. It took a few tries, but here's the pick of the litter. This definitely got harder as it got hotter & the mirage picked up. I had a couple of close "10's" on this target, but only the last shot took out the dot. I'm...
that's a typo in the match bulletin. Record fire at 600 yards is 20 rounds in 20 minutes, plus sighting shots. 2 minutes is approaching rattle-battle speed!
You may want to check with the match director prior to showing up. The iron sight class is usually restricted to using slings for...
Alright... here's my optics submission. Came close to cleaning the target if it wasn't for that USBR target. I thought it was funny that even though my scope has an 1/8MOA dot in the reticle, it still obscured the center of some targets at 32x!
I'm tallying this as a 98 but I'll leave the...
Here's my submission. I decided to give iron sights a try this time, but DANG this was one challenging target! Some of those targets looked like pin-pricks... even at 25 yards!
Remington 40X
Redfield Olympic front and rear iron sights
Wolf Match Target ammo
front rest & rear bags
I'm...
I finally managed to shoot a round of THR golf today... just in the nick of time before the end of 2013.
Marlin 917V .17HMR
Mueller 8.5-25x40mm
Hornady 17gr V-MAX ammo
fired using front rest & rear bag
I didn't fill in the scores on the sheet, but my math comes up with an 12.
hole 1...
