gh0stface Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Hello, I'm just recently broke my AR-10 cherry by purchasing a LMT MWS with a 16". The salesman assured me that the 16" barrel can be used beyond 600 yards. I have some experience with the .308 round, but my experience with .308 was with gau-17 and m240 from the side of an UH-1N. I looked at the AR-15 platform, but I like the long range possibilities of the .308. I'm going need a lot advice on optics, round selection, and reload information.GF

planeflyer21 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Welcome! Glad you made it gh0stface!For my purposes (at the moment...these guys have convinced me I have other purposes) I went with a lower power scope 2-7x33mm. Reasonable for upclose, decent for out to 600. Jon
MaDuce Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Welcome. It seams we have allot of Californians here for some reason. Unfortunately, most of your questions thus far are questions i have myself.
Robocop1051 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Welcome to another NorCal guy!I recognize your dilemma. I am in a similar boat. I'd love to put on a NF 2.5-10x, but I see a Leupold 3-9x more likely in my price range.
