Malig8r Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 Forgive the lousy lighting and cell phone pic. I don't have a lightbox and all the special photography equipment. I spend that money on guns & ammo related stuff.

The Father Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 Hey I have the same one. Fun shooter. Have you done anything optically to it?
Pappy1600 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 Here is my sons latest purchase CQB with Vortex Venom red dot sight, nice rifle, but don't like the fact that the rear iron sights are blocked by the optic, I always like to have my iron sights available.

What optics are you thinking of? 5rds @ 125yds Sorry it took so long to get a decent group pic. Been running a lot of lake city down the pipe to break everything in and work on getting comfortable with this rifle. I got the iron sights zeroed in and then proceeded to mount some glass and play around with some different ammo. I picked up a case of some 1980's Hirtenberger surplus and wow that stuff shoots great for $.55 a round delivered! Ive yet to put any through the 308ar though. And of course the best group Ive got was with 168gr FGMM. This was only five rounds at 125yds but Im pleased. This rifle will definitely out shoot me.
Sisco Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Great shooting TND! Funny, I see Ar10's/308ARs and M1A/M14's as great complements to each other. Both fun to shoot and mess with, but in different ways. That rifle is definitely on point.
Sisco Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 At the range today. Nothing special for groups, but the rifle looked damn good.

HOLY SHIIT-HIGH SCOPES RISERS, BATMAN!!! You gotta be 3.5" over bore on that thing! I know you have big paws, from the pics of the FNX in your bear-paws, but you gotta have a giant head, also!... Brother, you might be bigger than Larry, and he's a monster... Edited June 28, 2018 by 98Z5V

About 2.5 inches over bore. Wish I could get it down, but I want to be able to use iron sights as well. This is with low mount scope rings on the Bassett Machine high mount picatinny rail. I think Larry is bigger, at least taller. I am only 6’1”. Hat size 7 3/4, 18 1/2” neck. 40 years of weight lifting, before I had to hang it up. Should have stuck to running, even though I hated it. Now tough to drop the pounds they just come back.

Sometimes I wonder why I have the scope, except I have 69 3/4 year old eyes.

With the photographic proof you've exhibited of the size of your bear paws, I kinda figured you were another Andre The Giant...

Speaking of, I was shooting at 185 yards today, and dialed in my go to load- 168 gr SMK pushed by 24 grains of RL15. After that I dug out some Mk319 Mod 0 OTM I had been hoarding and tried it. It shot 12 inches lower at 185 yards, and not nearly as tight a group. To be expected I suppose. Also didn’t feed real well.

This one might interest you, one of the seedlings is destined to grow an become an Israeli M14 sniper rifle. At this point I have everything now(including the ugly stock) but the scope and of course time. The pictures show how the Israeli's dealt with getting a good cheek weld. It ain't pretty but it works.
