So customizable for cheap. I don’t remember if you shot mine, but I love shooting it. Can’t argue with 500+ rounds for less than $20. Wanna go to the gun shop w/ Jon and I this week? At least get a feel for stuff. If 7.62x54R prices are ok w/ you, you could always get a good ole Mosin Nagant. I have a 10/22, I love mine. I was actually just thinking about getting a Mosin because you can get them at Gander for like $100. If you want something that is more like a “tactical trainer” in .22, I would look at the S&W M&P15-22. My friend has it, and it’s actually more fun than my Ruger. It is their M&P15 litterally just chambered in .22 for “training”. Not to mention the 10 round mags can be modified to hold 25 rounds extremely easy. 😉 ---

Took over an hour today to get a JP Ent muzzle brake onto JVG’s AR10. Had it lathed down for a perfect fit, then torqued it only to find the barrle had a small burr on it from the threading. Removed burr and MB was now overrotated. Had to start over on the brake again and lathe off ~.08" more to make it fit properly. Ready to go blow up shit with it now. Might set up a few targets on the 800yd range at my place before winter once I get this thing sighted in again. Test out some of that new ballistics ammo he bought :excited ---

I can actually get almost 880 yds out of it, but that’s starting to push back up the hillside towards the woods. I’ll typically keep it within the low side valley of the hill, which comes in around 780-800yds pending where the target is. It’s the surrounding farmers hay fields and I can’t do it all the time, I’ll typically pick a day or two a week in advance to let him know. It’s half the reason I want to buy a Mcmillan Tac50 and put a wrecked car out the to shoot surplus nato at! Last time I shot in the vicinity was actually with Cossey’s or Jon AR10 and he came up because I didn’t make a call prior to putting rounds down range :zip ---

I really want a nice match grade bolt rifle from McMillan, but they’re just so expensive. A tac 50 would be on the top of my list but go for ~$8K. I’d also like one fo their 308’s, much more useful but still over five grand for a rifle. Price you pay for top notch rifles. Especially when you or your buddies life relies on an accurate shot(military/LE) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-official-gun-thread/242496.md?page=28) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-official-gun-thread/242496.md?page=30)
