Hello to all! I'm in the Hill Country (Bandera County), northwest of San Antonio. I do most of my shootin at The Bandera Gun Club. Outdoor covered shooting benches. Only goes out to 200 yds. Nice Folks. I would like to find a range that had at least 500 yds.

Many thanks! I very much appreciate that sentiment because for many years that was not what I experienced.

Having been born in the first half of the last Century, I tend to be "Old School" in relation to some issues. Firearms being one of those ..... I grew up Hunting, and Shooting anything I could get my hands on. I have had, and still do have, numerous versions of Military and Civilian .308 Bolt Action Rifles. During a few tours in the Jungles and Rivers of South East Asia, I was introduced to the attributes of the M16 and the M14 Rifles. I guess, due to my proclivity to be "Old School" I prefered the M14 and the 7.62x51 for it's long range accuracy, power, and general feel of a quality rifle. Due to my appreciation of the M14, I have a few versions of the Springfield M1a in my personal collection. I still very much enjoy them. I am a FFL Dealer, and as such I come into contact with many different Platforms and Calibers of weapons. It took me awhile to come to appreciate the AR-15 but I finally did, and I now have a half dozen versions in my Safe. About 5 years ago, I was lucky enought to come across a "Shooter" who needed to sell a Stunning Armalite AR-10 adorned with a Nightforce Scope. I intended to re-sell it but had to "try it out" first. Needless to say, I still have it. Since then I have put aside a DPMS SASS, and just recently a Ruger SR-762. All great weapons! Bottom line; I love passing on to my Kids, my respect and appreciation for, this Country, Our founding principals, the Second Amendment, the Principals and Benefits of Self Sufficiency, and Firearm Ownership. Long Live the Republic!

I've had a DPMS "SASS" for a year or so, and am pleased with it, as a long range shooter, as it is too heavy and unwieldy to carry as a "Patrol Rifle". I received a Ruger SR-762 a few days ago. I put a Bushnell ET6245F on it, which I "borrowed" from my DPMS. I've been to the range and expended a hundred rounds out to 300 yds utilizing a Caldwell Lead Sled FCX. Overall, 1.5 MOA (not counting reload fliers) using 168 Gr. Federal Premium .308, German NATO 7.62, and Reloads (two fliers). No Failures. Very pleased! I'll put the Bushnell back on the DPMS and put an Aimpoint on the SR-762 as it is comfortable for more of a CQB application. I came across this Forum while searching for info on a "BAD" (Battery Assist Device) for the Ruger. If anyone out there knows of one, please let me know.

I found this site as a result of a "Google" Search for an AR-10 battery assist device.

I came here looking for info on a "BAD" for a SR-762. I didn't find that, but much more good stuff. I look forward to visiting here often!
