Robocop1051 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 I'm calling foul on you! Rule breaker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6132expert Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Why is that? <dontknow>I will get some range pictures this time. Lat time I went I forgot to take the camera, and I didn't want to show off targets from the Magpul gen II sights at a 100yrds. Now I got my scope mounted things should turn out much better. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Scoped groups are just that , magnified. No problem with iron sight groups, it seems to be a lost art ,except for boot camps .Maybe we should show how good we are with them old type sights. Magpuls are the only sights on my 16 " 308 & they work pretty good @ 100 yrds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6132expert Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 SS, I agree lets show how good our back up/iron sight groups are. Keep in mind the last time I went to the range , at 100yrds I was shooting a 12x12 1inch squares target and yes I landed a few in the center. This range trip I have some larger human siloets and the 12"x12" targets, and I will group a few with th back ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6132expert Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 OK, went to the range yesterday, and my scope was so far off its not funny. My first shoot at a 100 yards hit the dirt about 10 feet infront of the target. So needless to say I went through 40 round getting it very close to DOA. I have some grouping of about 5 shoots that could be covered with a quarter, but I still have some tuning to do when I get some more ammo. Im not very proud of my target but I will get some pictues up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I still want to see what the rifle looks like all finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6132expert Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 OK, give me a few and I will get some pictures up. I had to go run the wife around all day and I am tired, but I will have them up before the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6132expert Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m494/ajh2004/3e628501.jpghttp://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m494/ajh2004/fa2aa538.jpghttp://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m494/ajh2004/4c0e923a.jpgHere they are. The hole below the 0 is a grouping at 100 yards. The rest of the holes are sighting in the scope from 25 out to 100 yards and some of them are from the Rockriver. I have the scope very close and I have to get somemore ammo and get back to the range. Really eather way its ready to kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgun Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 So, how do you like shooting 300 compared to .223 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6132expert Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 To be honest shooting is shooting. I know my 300 shoots much smoother then my Rockriver. A little more tweaking and the 300 will be DOA. I need me some kind of stand to shoot from or a BiPod. The target I posted is me holding the rifle. One thing I do not get is he thudd the Rockriver makes when I shoot it, also after about 35 rounds in the 300 the bolt quit coming all the way back to strip a new round. I forgot my oil and I think thats all that problem is. It still needs shot to get broke in, and Im up to 80 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgun Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I know your comparing two different guns with different internal components, so it's not like the only variable is the different cal. I don't even know if both of your guns have the same type stocks or barrel length. I was just curious what your impressions were firing impulse and recoil wise and between .223 and 300.

6132expert Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 The 300 has much less recoil. The rockriver I am still running the factory stock so that may have something to do with the felt difference. The barrel lenghts are the same ( 16" ) as well as the gas system, but the RR has the A2 syle flash hider and the 300 has , well not sure what kind of break it is, but it is better then the A2 hider. The RR 556 is a great shooting rifle, and it is really hard to say which I would prefer to shoot. I like the 556 with the federal m193 ammo , but the 300 over all shoots so much smoother with a lot less recoil.Im not sure what impulse is exactly? <dontknow>Over all I am happy with my 300 and I will be happier when I get more ammo and shooting time with it. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgun Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Now this may not be accurate, but when I refer to firing impulse, I'm not speaking so much about recoil, but the way the gun "feels". For example, some people consider the recoil from a 12ga to be noticeable, but most agree that the impulse is softer than, say a .308. Certain guns have a very sharp kick while with others it's more of a punch. I know that this is very subjective and that gun weight and comp effectiveness all effect that, but what I was wondering was if you've noticed that the impulse of the 300 is not as sharp as that of the .223. at least that's how it feels to me.

6132expert Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I dont know what to say about this. I can drop 20 rounds rapied fire out of my RR and I know I have one it, but the 300 I could shoot all day. Going by what you said its really about like shooting my 10/22 but a lot louder. Some of my rifles I just Kreng when it is time to squezze the triger, but the 300 Its really nothing to shoot at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
