jtallen83 Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Not at the range but had the law called on me once, neighbor claimed we were shooting right over his head and it must be some kind of cannon. Sheriff laughed when he got there and then laid down a couple five round groups! The neighbor was just a little pissed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreQRiDeR Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 No, but I can tell they’re a little pissed when I bring my 300 winmag to the range. Lol. Fun to watch ‘em flinch when it goes off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mley1 Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 All of my AR's, including the .308, have muzzle brakes. They're LOUD. I've had a few folks make comments, and ask what I'm shooting. I heard a fella next to me exclaim once "that damn thing knocked my hat off". LMBO, well, I'm sorry sir. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 I only shoot anymore at my own secret test facility, in the middle of nowhere. No more public ranges for me. "Range Rules" and RSOs that couldn't spot a safety issue if you threw it at them, and public shooters, not knowing anything about them... I just don't do it anymore...

The first time I took that build to the range, I laid down prone beside my shooting bench to get stable and shoot from the bipod. As I laid there loading my mags, a gentleman moved into the shooting bench adjacent to mine and began organizing his gear on the bench. I inserted a freshly loaded mag and proceeded to begin sighting the scope. Every time I pulled the trigger there was a massive concussion, followed by the 'tink' of expended brass, and then shortly after that a different sounding random 'thwock thwock'. I didn't pay attention at first but after about four shots I distinctly noticed a lot of commotion at the adjacent shooting bench. I picked my head up after my 4th shot just in time to see more loaded ammo rolling off the neighboring bench as the man at the bench scrambled to keep his gear from running away with each shot. I stopped firing, helped him retrieve his gear from the ground, and helped him move to the far end of the firing line. He didn't really complain, but he asked "just what the hell are you shooting there sonny?", and he was baffled when I told him it's just a 308. He didn't even know they made ARs in 308, and came back to look it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisco Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 I had the time when I was shooting suppressed 45 on the 25 yard range and a guy sits down at the next station with a 45/70 Marlin shorty lever action! I politely suggested he try the 50 yard range, and he said he couldn’t hit anything at that distance. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbor's M1A SOCOM has an impressive muzzle brake, but boy is it loud, like REALLY loud, seems like twice as loud as my LR308. That M1A SOCOM muzzle brake, however, keeps the front planted. He and I both can put a whole magazine on target faster with his M1A than with my LR308. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 I had a Socom like that next to me at an indoor range a while back. It was definitely the loudest beast in the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBrien Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 I can't remember the last time I went to an indoor range. Having 160 acres and 200+ yards of clear shooting lane on private property spoils a person... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hit the public range a few times a year.Often something stupid happens.Being the closest gun range to a major city.......Brings out a lot of “city folk”. Prefer to shoot off my rear deck at chipmunks drinking a cold 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I try not to go to my range on nice days. I hate people enough as it is. I don't have the patience for "gun guys" that wanna talk your ear off by telling you about everything that they own. I don't give a fuk about what they may or may not own. Or if they think my stuff is too loud or not. Fuk em all. So I'm "that guy" that is more than happier shooting while it's raining. Slim chance that others are out there in the rain. After all, these are battle rifles to begin with, so rain doesn't hurt them. And I don't baby my stuff anyway. I usually leave after other people get there no matter what. HEY! That's why I'm part hermit anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
