What ya got that mounted on?
I finally made it to the shooting range and shot my AR's. It was kinda intimidating. Here me and my brother are doing initial sighting in with our rifles, iron sights, at 25yrds. and the Nat Guard snipers are ringing a 600 yrd. steel target.
Although the N.G. instructor, I guess that's what he's called, did come on over to where we were shooting and complemented me on the AR's that I built/assembled.Last edited by CDave; 06-15-2012 at 11:50 PM.

Just curious CDave.. how far have you tried shooting your AR with iron sights? I hear the same 600 yd story from my dad with a M16 which was in Vietnam but he never said how big the targets were in practice. Been thinkin bout buyin an AR just because both my SKS's are so dang heavy. An 8" steel target gets hit 3 out of 4 shots at 250 yards with iron sights on either of my guns but just haven't had a chance to shoot at any longer distances. I like the 30 cal but would like to hear from someone else bout the 223 before I go though down some dough on one.

We only shot at 25 yrds. before the weather shut us down. The Nat Guard were shooting bolt action rifles not AR's.
If you like larger calibers look at Alexander Arms 6.5mm AR's. The 6.5mm almost equals the ballistics of the .308 Win. and is still supersonic past 1000 yrds. Plus you can shoot from 90 gr. to 130gr. bullets. http://www.alexanderarms.com/
I have .223 and the 6.5mm., I like them both.Last edited by CDave; 06-16-2012 at 11:43 PM.

That is a sweet rifle! I like that camo on the barrel.
Here's some bullets for ya. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/175...tzer-boat-tail
I put a Winchester synthetic stock, ebay buy, and a Leupold Mark 4, ebay buy, on my Winchester M70 30-06 w/ BOSS barrel. I also installed a 20MOA mount on it and hope to get good enough with it to shoot the 600yd. lane at the range...some day.Last edited by CDave; 06-17-2012 at 12:05 AM.

Thanks guys. Russ, I'm going to shoot factory rounds (if I can find what I want) for now. I just have to gather everything up to reload.

Nice looking gun Forkin'. Reloading is definitely the answer. I loaded some 62 gr nosler partitions for 223 to see if my son can get a shot on a deer up close this season. Even if you buy new brass, it is still better.
Winchester ballistic silvertips are also a great bullet. Very pleased with those out of my 7mm-08 during the last deer season. 4 of the 6 I shot with that bullet combo dropped in their tracks.
