I trained with an M-14 at Benning in late 60s. Always remember the accuracy at longer distances. Then I inherited a bolt action 30.06 and scope with a farm I bought, and damn that's a cartridge there. Finally in January, during the "recent unpleasantness" with threats of a renewed gun and mag ban, I got a couple Colt M4s, and loved where the weapons have evolved to. Started reading about AR10s, and 308 ARs, and a sheriff captain buddy told me about his DPMS. Looking for one of those, I found the new Smith & Wesson M&P10. Found one with Magpul furniture and Troy sights. Had it a couple weeks, like it a lot. It only weighs 8.2lb. Need to decide on glass for it.
