Let me live a little through you folks. When you hit the range take some pictures of your best targets and such.

When my wife teaches me how to upload pics I'm on it. Until then I'll enjoy looking @ everyone else's pics.

This was a few months ago at approximately 300 yards. I went shooting with three buddies of mine on some private land and we had my LR-308 and a Remington model 700 bolt action 308 along with 243. Not the greatest grouping but good enough for me to be happy with it....for now

(oh and a lot of these hits were with the argentine ammo I posted about in the ammo section just to give a little better perception to my description)

I think I'm going back out tomorrow and shoot some different ammo through the .308, so I'll have some targets of that to put up. In the meantime...

Here's the 20" precision 5.56 gun. It's a YHM lower, upper and barrel (1/7 CMV chrome lined), and this thing is probably the most accurate semi that I have. It's nuts.

I tried several different types of ammo through it last time I took it out, and the results were pretty good. I shot PMC Bronze 55gr, .mil M855 62gr, Black Hills/Hornady V-Max 60gr, and Black Hills 77gr SMK.

PMC 55gr - all over the paper, not really grouping. Kinda what I expected through a 1/7 barrel.

M855 62gr - a little better.

The 60gr V-Max - this stuff surprised me, and did very well!

77gr SMK - this is just what I thought would happen with this stuff. Very happy with it.

So, until tomorrow, this is something to look at. Makes me want to go out now...

Certainly! If you need a spec list, or any other pics, just let me know what you'll need and I'll try to grab it.

Got out yesterday to the range; it's a completely free "sighting in range" that's owned/run by the Wildlife Management Area, and it's a very nice 100-yard range. Well, right when I got setup with the guns and firing position, some fool with hot loads in a muzzle loader caught the dry grass on the berm on fire...

We all ran down there and were trying to stomp it out, beat it with shirts, everything. The wind picked up and kept shifting, and just when we'd have a section of it beat, it would flare up again on the other side. It was back and forth like that until the fire dept got there and hosed it down. We all thought they Wildlife Manager was gonna shut it down, but all he did was talk to everybody and let us keep going. For me, it was on the verge of being a bad day, but turned into a great one.

I got the .308 finalized at 100 yds. First pic here is the 168gr match boat tails from Mac's Reloads that I picked up. Gonna keep buying them, too. 6 rounds, top three were for group and I dropped two clicks on the scope. Bottom three were after doing that. Here's where it stays, and I re-zeroed the turrets.

I took the 14.5" 5.56 gun out there and shot up a bunch. I can get those targets up later, but they're nothing spectacular. Irons and red dot at 50 and 100, and it's a good shooter. Accurate for being fast, if that makes sense. It's zeroed at 100 yards, 3" high from point of aim.

Last one up was my old, very reliable Olympic Arms "Politically Correct" M4. I put a CMMG .22 conversion bolt in it and I'm teaching the kids to shoot Evil Black Rifles with it. Of course, I was testing it out myself, first.

I zeroed it at first at 50 yards, being skeptical that I'd get a good zero at that range - it's on it! Love this little thing! First target is bullseye point of aim at 50, with shot after shot on it. I did two 5-shot groups with it to adjust the irons, and you can kinda see those on the target. Once I had it where I wanted it, it was blasting time. The second target is at 100, point of aim being the top of the target for a hold over.

The thing is a BLAST!!!
