The Father Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Definitely no sarcasm allowed here. Anyway another 100 rounds thru a PSA. After sighting in the scope, that took about 10 rounds, this was my 5 round bunch at 100 yds. Used Hirtenberger 7.62 and a 3" target. Have great respect for real long range shooters. The crosshairs moved with my pulse. After that I banged away with iron sights. Edited April 23, 2017 by The Father Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Not bad at all, with the Hirt, man. Not at all. You did fix the scope mounts, right?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Father Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Yes, Re-arranged the mounts to forum specs. I thought I had some top grade 308 in ammo cans but all I had was the Hirtenberger and Winchester 7.62. Shooting with glasses or no glasses with a scope is a crap shoot. Finally used glasses since most of my shades were scratched. Getting the proper relief on scope with glasses wasn't always easy.

98Z5V Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Just now, The Father said: Yes, Re-arranged the mounts to forum specs. Doesn't have anything to do with us, man... You'll be surprised with some better ammo, it'll shoot well. Mil-spec ammo is designed for anything between 2 and 4 MOA, usually the higher end of that.

mineralman55 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 .Nice looking rig. Give it a few hundred rounds to break in, and try some Federal Gold Medal Match 168 or 175 BTHPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Nice shooting for surplus Father, thanks for the report. Glad it is working out for you. When it comes to rifles, the only opinion that really counts is the person who owns and shoots it. But PSA previously had some really bad reports, and these guys had tried to help the owners figure out what was going on. Check them out in the archives. That's why some skepticism about PSA. If PSA is learning from those mistakes, more power to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOFH Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 New PA10 owner here as I could not resist their $399.99 18"SS gen2 upper with BCG/CH combined with $199.99 gen 2 blemished classic lower deal. Both with free shipping. $599.98 for a 7.62x51/.308 AR10 style rifle? Too good to be true? I've been on the lookout for an Adams Arms one based on the AR15 of theirs I have but their AR10 platform seems to be less than stellar. Even though they are local. My PSA AR15 runs very well so I figured to take a chance on their AR10 at the above price. However, after reading the thread, I'm just a slight bit worried. Luckily all I should have to do is put the upper and lower together and both are all PSA parts and put together by PSA. Lets hope she's a shooter and not a paperweight... I've already learned how not to mount a scope so that is a good start. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Father Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Damn, AR15 and AR 308/7.62 pricing really getting distressed out there from the lower and mid- priced companies. But that is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketch Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 99$ for a lower not complete... you could save money and add it to a better lpk? But will others play well with the psa? Very tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not resist that deal unfortunately. :-) It was a toss up between this one and the Ruger 308 Precision rifle going below $1K again but that did not seem to be happening and then this one cropped up and I just had to have it. Thanks for all the offers of encouragement. I'm keeping my fingers crossed... Now if only I had $3.500 to spend I would have gone for the below beauty. My FFL had that one last week when I picked up a Shield 45... Edited April 26, 2017 by BOFH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twin to this one i got with my SS upper back in march. this one I used my newer PSA10 18" FN CHF chrome lined with just got yesterday Billit lower W/Magpul+ grips. 308 Privi SP 150 Gr 118 yards to the ear dropped in the path, other one didn't slow enough to find. Aim sport 3-12X50 FFP ontop a Aero 30mm 2" offset cantilever mount. Cheap scope but doesn't act like one... PS these things are taking over!
