I finally rec'd the front sight tool for my FR-8 and decided today was a good time to go put it on paper. I have a private pistol range cut into the edge of the woods that I use. I learned two things...It will shoot one hole groups, (admittedly at 30 yards) and I HATE that elliptical front sight post. As you screw it up or down for elevation, it also moves right or left for windage. Problem is, it's hard to see the offset and harder to know how much you actually moved the post from side to side. Finally got it about where I wanted it.
Went to put the FR-8 back in the case and caught movement out of the corner of my eye. I turned around and there about 15 feet to my rear sat a visitor. No hearing protection, and didn't seem to be bothered in the slightest by the noise of the 16" .308 that I had just been shooting. I pulled the AR out and ran about 100 rounds thru it, and still he sat there, quietly munching grass. When I was finished, I picked up all my brass and wandered over to where Bug's was sitting. I got to within spitting distance when he turned and ambled off into the woods. I guess it's nice to be trusted
