I have had the pleasure of shooting an AE in 308 set up for long range competition, and just about every sniper rifle known to the Marine Corps. ( I live just south of Quantico and have shot on their range, and an outdoor range near the house, ad trained with a few of the best of the best. Those guys are awesome. My little Remington 700 SPS in .308 is kind of wimpy compared to their tools. I have a nice M1A Supermatch that I bought from one of them that shoots strictly iron sights. That will humble you for certain. That is about all. Everything I own is so dang heavy I don't think I'd want to drag it around in the field. I'd love to have a new Larue in .308, but they are real expensive. By the way, I have a Weaver 3 - 12x44 on my Remington. For the money, it works well enough for me. But again, I don't reach out that far anymore. Hunting has lost that sparkle for me I guess. WAY too much work. After blowing a knee, then litterally snapping the right foot off and going through all the therapy I just am not up to it. Add in that little thing called a double bypass I had 5 years ago... and yeah, walking around in the woods is kind of a thing of the past for me.

 

Sorry to hear you can't get out much anymore.
We haven't bought a pound of store bought meat in almost 30 years. We rely on deer and elk for our protein.
I keep my sister and her friends freezer stocked as well. I love hunting big game.

 

1/2 MOA accuracy from any lever action is amazing. The stock is beautiful too. I don't think I've ever seen a rollover cheek piece on a lever action before.

 

Here's my hunting rifle. DSArms FN FAL.

Well it would be if I hunted but all I use it for is to have fun.

 

Very nice.

 

Thanks Moose - I just picked up a nice AK-47 too.

 

That's great looking FAL. And I like that the scope isn't way up in the air like I've seen on some different types of rifles. If you have see through rings so you can use iron sights, your scope is too high to get a solid cheek weld.

 

I'm good.

 

The AR I have with a scope on it could use a riser and shorter rings (medium height?). It has extra high rings and it works, but it would be quicker on target if the scope was just a bit higher.

 

Frank, how do you like that creedmore? I have friends that Swear by them. Doing some research and I have to say using 140 Gr they are damn accurate up to 1000 Yds. The bullet stays supersonic for quite a ways further than my .308. Much less affected by wind too.
