Bigdad Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 I'm new to AR type rifles but have been an avid hunter, shooter and hand loader for almost 40 years. I mainly shoot bolt action rifles and fallen in love with Savages. I like to tinker and swap barrels on my Savages. I also like long range shooting. I recently purchased an inexpensive FEDARM FR-10 308 AR off of Gunbroker.com to hunt pigs with. I ultimately plan to put a night-vision site on it and may add a suppressor at some point. The gun functions well and is fairly accurate. Most of the loads I've tried have grouped in the 1.5 MOA range or better. I haven't been able to consistently break the 1 MOA barrier yet but I think with more load development I'll get there. ARs seem to be a tinker's dream or nightmare depending on your point of view. I want to keep this thing inexpensive but that is proving to be difficult. I've already received a great deal of excellent advice on this forum and I've ordered a LaRue 2-stage trigger, recoil pad, heavy buffer and buffer spring. It probably won't bee too long before I replace the barrel. I hope I don't ask you guys too many stupid questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
