5,000 yard shot made with an ArmaLite!

Ok, a highly modified Armalite AR-30. I'm a little bummed as I have been watching for a used AR-30 or 31 in anticipation of having the funds by spring, no doubt this will add to the price a bit.

Cool to see a bullet go that far and land roughly where you want it to, but these "records" are getting silly. Given enough ammo you could probably eventually land a .22 on that plate.

Hell of a shot.
