Hello everyone, I have just joined this board so that I can talk about .308 ARs with people who have experience with them.

 

I am a long time competition shooter who has pretty much dedicated himself to long range F-TR competitions for the last several years.  The .308 Winchester has been my goto cartridge for 30+ years and I handload large quantities of it for 1000 yard competitions.

 

I was a Service Rifle shooter for many years before that and so I am very familiar with the AR-15 family of rifles.  I've built several and shot them in various competitions as well as taking them hunting.

 

It was time to bring together my two passions; the .308 Winchester and the AR-15.  So I broke down and bought myself an AR-10(T) at the end of last year.

 

Of course, it was not going to remain stock, I wanted to build it up using all my experience with the AR-15 and the long range .308 Winchester.  I came up with this:

 

Since that picture was taken I replaced the stock with a PRS and the original grip with the new MagPul MOE:

 

I developed a load for it using a 175gr Nosler bullet and I'm having fun with it.

 

I will post the details of the rifle in the main forum.

 

Regards,

 

Pegasus

Thanks for the nice welcome folks.  It should be fun around here.  ^-^

 

I'll get the details of that rifle posted over the weekend.  It's still a work in progress as I am the eternal tinkerer and what better platform to tinker with than the AR?

Welcome from AZ !

Well maybe ?

Reading the other thread leads me to believe your experience will make you a good addition to the members here. But... you must check the addititude at the door. Newbies that come to this site with arrogance don't fair well and also don't last long. Read a little more and type less !

Welcome !

Thank you 392heminut, Gibbs, washguy and microgunner.

 

Dane Armory, I may be a newbie to this site, but that doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.  I would say there are some high post count members who have attitudes.  Notice the spelling of that word.  It's not arrogance if you can do it.   And I think you mean that I may not "fare" well, notice the spelling of that word also.  And thank you for the welcome.

I was waiting to make a decision, and you just locked it in. you are an elitists douche and won't last long here. you will no doubt provide plenty of entertainment for the duration though, so I welcome you for that reason.

Thanks for the nice welcome blue109.

 

BTW, that's "elitist" and you need to learn to capitalize the first word of every sentence.

all us illiterate wannabe snipers know how this story ends.

I was actually hoping you let him stick around for another round of the silverback. it was gonna be good.

 

I know exactly what you mean, unfortunately you will have to fulfill your daily drama requirements with locally broadcasted soap operas. I do apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused.....  >:D  :banana:

I want this $hitbag back, even for a day.

 

He'll be here, reading the board unlogged, and not able to log in - but I wanna know what he says.

 

What a $hitstick. 

 

Matt, go back and let him back in.  I'm serious, man.  Un-Ban that $hithead. 

 

I don't want him to think that what I've said, since his departure - is something I wouldn't say directly to him. 

 

Also, what's this thing in Arizona that he's coming out here for?  "FCNC?"  I'll travel to him - where ever that is in AZ.  When I google "FCNC" I end up with $hit like this:

 

https://www.google.com/#q=FCNC

 

If he's coming out here for a match, then I'll drive to it, just to meet him in person.

 

EDIT:

F-CLASS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS.  FCNC.

 

Held this year in AZ, Oct 28th~ Nov 2nd.

I will be IN THE DUNES for my annual vacation 30 Oct~ 6 Nov.  I am not happy about this conflict.  I will meet this guy somewhere.

 

Matt, let that dumbass back in here...  Seriously...  I can make the first 2 days of this - he should be there then...
