walther_gsp Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Here is my newest toy.Specs:Sun Devil Billet Upper/LowerWhite Oak Armament Squad Designated Marksman Barrel 20" 7 twistGiessele Super Dynamic - Enhanced TriggerVTAC TRX Extreme HandguardMagpul PRS StockMagpul MIAD GripLarue SPR-S scope mountVortex Viper PST 6-24 FFP mil/mil scopeKawi and I took it out to Thunder Valley Precision last weekend to try it out. We zeroed it and used the drop chart I made with guesstimate of muzzle velocity and some time with the JBM ballistic calculator and got some dope from 100-600 yards. We both shot it Sunday in the "short course" match (170-550yards). I was getting pretty consistent first round hits on 12x12 targets out to 550 yards, even in the 25+mph winds we were shooting in. Kawi did pretty well for his first time shooting "long range" especially given a new to him gun, and the nasty wind that day. All in all it was a pretty successful range weekend. Minus the 35mph gust that blew the rifle over on the concrete bench and marred the scope prior to even firing the damned thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be quiet honest, I don't think it'll be on the AR for long, it'll probably get moved to the 308. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, I ordered myself a PST on Tuesday along with a set of these. Bushnell Fusion 1600 Arc 10X42 Laser Range Finder - Ive ranged the mile target with these easily.. they are amazing for the price. I figure they will come in handy with the new build and the fact that I want to make it out west this year and do some Elk hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walther_gsp Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yeah I think you were there.. I got a helluva deal on them so I couldnt pass them up. Their retail price is pretty reasonable for a LRF that will do a mile, I'd hate to know what "helluva deal" is, it'll probably make me hate you more.

The current shipment of PST's coming in is caught in customs and 4-6 weeks out for the people that have ordered them including ones ordered in Feb.

I was pretty impressed by the quality of walthers over the weekend.Btw anyone thinking about going to thunder valley and giving it a try I highly recommend it. I went and watched once and knew then I had to give it a shot. If you have a .223 you have enough gun to do the short course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I dont think I have enough scope to do the short course. And it is a LONG drive to get there is the real reason I have not gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Dont count yourself short. Ive shot to 1 mile with a 10x so what exactly do you mean by not enough scope to get to 600. Are you talking magnification or elevation adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Hell one guy there last weekend had no adjustable turrents. I think he was just holding over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Both flat fish I has stock ruger rings on my target mini which are not to high and a nikon prostaf scope which is way under powered 2x7 power. I have since moved the scope to my 22 as it is better suited for that. Have been looking for a cheap scope to mount on the mini. Like I said the biggest thing is the 250 mile round trip to get there and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
