Welcome! I've got the very same rifle. <thumbsup>

Welcome fellow Texan! Congrats on that SASS!

Welcome sir! You are indeed in the proper place.

Welcome dude! <thumbsup>

Welcome aboard! I'm across town from you, NW Houston. <thumbsup>

Welcome aboard! <thumbsup>

Welcome!! <thumbsup> Self-taught?!? Doesn't our USAF teach weaponry?!?

Welcome aboard! <thumbsup>

They sure do, FMJ BT, LINK.

Not that I remember, but I'll ask. He probably only mentioned the 168 since that's what we bought 1,000 rounds of last month.

I've shot a bunch of it before, very good stuff, quite consistent. I was getting decent groups at 200 yards.

Actually, he should have it by now. I'm in California this week, so I haven't tried to track it down yet.

Ed Brown 8-packs. <thumbsup> http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/sid=52372/pid=1354/sku/8_Round_Magazine

Daley's new proposed law says one functional weapon allowed per household, all others must be trigger-locked or disassembled. Unreal.

First, welcome aboard aturi! <thumbsup> Are you asking about compatibility between the AR10 and AR15, such as lowers and uppers? The major components like those are not compatible, the mag well on the lowers are completely different sizes, etc. Maybe I didn't read your question correctly?

That is one fine weapon man!! <thumbsup>

Welcome aboard!

Daley: City will revise gun law after Supreme Court ruling June 28, 2010 1:30 PM | 185 Comments | UPDATED STORY Colleen Lawson, who sued Chicago over its handgun ban, and members of the Illinois State Rifle Association speak to reporters today about the Supreme Court ruling. (Michael Tercha/Tribune) Mayor Richard Daley says the city will rewrite its gun ban ordinance because a Supreme Court ruling today has made the current law "unenforceable." STORY link

I guess MidwayUSA got a shipment in, my back order from Sept, 09 came in. I got 100 rounds for $97.

My shooting buddy has (aside from his 2 LR-308s) a box-stock Savage bolt gun in .308, with the accu-trigger dialed down to just about a pound. He intends to shoot F-Class (1000 yards) with it, maybe this fall. We are both members and RSOs at a private shooting club, and we have 2 ranges - the farther one away has rifle ranges in 100, 200, 300, 400, 600 and 1000 yards - that's where they shoot the F-Class competitions. His Savage is setup with a SEALs scope, but I can't remember the specs on it. The gun is amazingly accurate at 400 yards, I'm sure it will be a real contender at 1000 too.

BHW - is that a monolithic upper on the 6.8?

I was at the gun show yesterday and I dropped by to visit with the local HSM distributor (had to get 500 rds of 9mm). He let me know that in a month or two he will be receiving some new .308 from HSM. It will still be loaded with the 168 match king bullets, but using some different brass. Supposedly they have a slightly different POI, but the consistency was just as good as the current .308 match loads we have been shooting (like those 500 rounds in my post above). The real selling point of this though, supposedly we should be able to get it for between $15-$16 per box. If it is as consistent as the previous HSM .308, this will be what I will shoot almost exclusively. <thumbsup>

They never mentioned the trigger, probably just the standard setup on it. 0.68" @ 100 yds, not bad for a 16" gun.

I've been to a <ahem> _club_ <ahem> in Emporia - quite the place! <laughs> We've got pipe running through the area, I've been all around those parts before.
