speedytriple Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 You would be safe they have NOTHING for 5.56 AR's LOL! They did have 4 heavy barrel AR's on the shelf. A bushy r-25 in .243, a mk4 .308 dpms carbine with a mark 4 scope on it, And a set of heavy barrel stainless varmit rifles with nice glass on them.

If not then I lucked out and got a good one my discretionary spending knows no limits. Well, there have to be limits but I haven't found them yetIve been pretty lucky myself. While Shawna likes to give me a hard time about it, she will tell me "If you want it, get it" Of course I dont think she really understands how much some of this stuff is but when I had a chance at buying a $3000 spotting scope last week for 1500, she said go for it. I still passed even though it was a helluva deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 By the way, when are you going to get to the range and get some 100-1000 yard groups with that thing to see how it, you, shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 When i get a free weekend. We are crazy busy at my work. Sunday is my only day off right now. I have shot it indoors to break it in some. But need to get to a outdoor range still. What kind of accuracy should i expect? From factory loads that is, and what factory ammo is know to have good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From factory loads that is, and what factory ammo is know to have good results.Accuracy will be based on your shooting ability as well so without knowing that, its hard for me to comment. But, Ill say that you should be able to take almost any off the shelf rifle and put 3 shots into 1-2" at 100 yards. If you cant do that 99% of the time, you probably need to work on your shooting skills before judging the accuracy of a rifle. Just my .02.

speedytriple Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Well i have only shot bolt guns at distance so far. But i can get three shots almost touching out of my 17hmr at 100. My 30/06 i was able to do about the same at 100-200 off the bi pod and a sand bag. If this carbine does inch groups at 100 i would be happy for a start. I need to mount a scope on the. 308 to replace the red dot. I have a 3x9 that i might swap over for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Sounds like you have proper fundamentals down if you are getting those groups with your 30/06. I think a lot of people go and try and judge the accuracy of a rifle without first really knowing how accurate they are as a shooter. Many people are happy with what I would consider sub par groups, just because they dont know any better of what the setup is actually capable of doing. Additionally they have never been taught proper fundamentals or how to shoot accurately. Its hard to diagnose accuracy issues when you dont know if its the rifle, the load, or the shooter. Shooter consistency is key before you can look at the rifle or load. Ive watched people try and sight in rifles and they will spend all day adjusting their scope and chasing the rounds on paper when the real issue is that the shooter is not consistent and is pulling shots due to poor shoulder/cheek weld, bad breathing techniques, and poor trigger control.

speedytriple Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Weather looks good for sunday? in the mid forties if the rain holds off I might try to get the gun out with the scope on it and try some longer ranges with it?

speedytriple Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Is there enough room under the scope to leave the rear buis on with a scope mounted? I have also been thinking about the burris AR-536 scope? It is short enough to leave irons on and 5x is not to bad for the 200 yards I normally shoot at.
