telluwhat Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hi everyone. In the past several months I have been doing some reading here and have really enjoyed the site. I have gotten myself a Bushmaster 308 ORC and while searching for magazines ended up finding this site, leading me to know about Bushmaster & DPMS and then the magazine I wanted for my rifle. Turns out what I was looking for was not what I actually wanted. I was looking for OEM Bushmaster mags and then after doing some reading I ordered a Magpul magazine and discovered how much better I liked them.This photo is my 308. I have a added a Bushnell Banner Dusk & Dawn Riflescope 6-18 x 50mm, a 4 sided mid length rail that required some modification by grinding to get it to fit correctly, no changes to the rifle. I have also added a 45° offset rail where I have set an American Tactical Red Dot Sight. Most recently I have added a tripod mount. I have a long wish list, but who doesn't?I want to thank everyone for posting so that I could learn what I needed to and what I had no clue about. There is so much to learn.... <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired JM Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Welcome. Spent a lot of time in North Cack-a-lakky. I've got family around Mount Airy and most of my career was spent at Bragg. Whereabouts are you in the Tarheel State?Good looking rifle you got there, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telluwhat Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Thank you. I am near Denver NC, which is just north of Charlotte. Denver is also on the western side of lake Norman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm in Maiden and come through Denver often. Welcome to the forums, we'll have to go shoot sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telluwhat Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thank you. Maiden is close by. Do you have a good place to shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I shoot mostly in Gastonia. However, I am currently working on a private range for future use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telluwhat Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I have been to Shooters Express in Belmont a few times but even the rifle range is not that long a distance. I have a similar distance private range but want to find a place to test out long distances and refine my scope on. One day I may be able to move and have that kind of place.

Matt.Cross Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I currently shoot at Rankin Lake when my weekends are free. It's only 100 yards but it's enough to develop good practices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telluwhat Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Is that inside city limits? I had heard gastonia has some strict rules, but I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 It's the Police Training Range. Great place to shoot, you just can't be stupid with the Range Officers. They're nice guys but they tolerate zero crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telluwhat Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Oh sweet. I bet one could learn a thing or two about shooting there ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
