    Fieldcraft ..

    Re: Questions on current Basic, AIT & ACU / DCU So you went through Jackson, what's your MOS? Only asking because having done BASIC/AIT in '03 as a 19D Cavalry Scout, and having a 13 month deployment in 04/05, never saw engineers out doing a combat patrol. When it came to route recon and IED...

    Recommened SA M1A?

    Re: Recommened SA M1A? Today the Super Match and M21 are essentially the "same" rifles. Different stocks of course, and the M21 can be had from the factory with a beautiful Krieger Heavy match barrel. The Super Match has a Douglas Stainless. Both are rear lugged and bedded. To each his own...

    Anyone using Superformance w/ .243 Win?

    Buddy of mine shoots a .243 savage and has had GREAT luck with Hornadys Superformance SST's. He's wanting to get into reloading, and likes the aggressive velocities with the Superformance for flat shooting and down range ballistics. Anyone using this? The 8th Manual doesn't cover it, and...

    Springfield Armory M1A

    Re: Springfield Armory M1A 150 gr sst 5 shot group 100 yards by Hillbilly Skeeter, on Flickr Thats my most recent group from a bi-pod at 100 yards. Wish I had a rear bag that day... shot like CRAPOLA. Still, the group was consistent. And it's only $11 for a box of those babies.

    Springfield Armory M1A

    Re: Springfield Armory M1A since you were talking about hunting, pay close attention to the top group. I'm using a cheap 10x Nikon Mil-Dot scope and can easily hit a gallon jug, and on good days, an Ovaltine bottle at 300-350 yards. The 150 gr SST would be a great white-tail sized game load...

    Any user input from RRA LAR-8?

    Re: Any user input from RRA LAR-8? Being an M14 lover all ill say is the Sadlak Airborne mount has fixed the issue of not"easily" accepting optics. Its a bit pricey but hollds a zero 100%. If you know what you want that's the way to go. Not to deter you from a RRA but nothing compares to a...

    Barnes Tipped Tac-TX Bullets? Any experience?

    Looking for a nice all purpose fun on range day, home defense .308 round, and have noticed Barnes makes a nice line of tactical bullets for reloading. Does anyone have any experience with any of the TAC X Line in 168 grain? Specifically I have an affection for tipped as expansion seems to be a...

    M1A scope mount

    Re: M1A scope mount Thank goodness with the Sadlak, you don't have to remove to use iron sights. There's a channel located in the mount so it doesn't hinder that. It did take a small amount of file and fit, and file and fit, and file and yippee it fits! But it led to a rock solid...

    Convice me I need an AR

    Re: Convice me I need an AR Buy an M1A National Match, or Loaded, and be good for a lifetime. Always nice to shoot a "real" round.

    Turn gas off on M1A for Superformance use?

    Re: Turn gas off on M1A for Superformance use? Okay Superformance, as stated before, is Hornady's new ammo that we have all been told by manuf. is safe, but by shooter's is unsafe on the op rod, springs, etc. So the question still is, if you turn off the gas system so the op rod doesn't get...

    Turn gas off on M1A for Superformance use?

    Not to beat a dead horse...... If one were to turn the gas spindle and vent all gases out the barrel, would it be safe to shoot the Superformance? We know the pressures are safe in the chamber, just not through the gas system. So by turning off the system and not letting the op rod feel a thing...

    Rifle Scopes Fixed vs variable advice

    Re: Fixed vs variable advice Well one nice thing with a fixed 6 or 10 power, which should be enough, is you could purchase one with a Mil-Dot reticle and learn your holdover for each distance.You don't have to worry whether your magnification is set where your mils are accurate. In these...

    Hornady Superformance in M1A?

    Re: Hornady Superformance in M1A? Daggone Grump. Thanks for that post. Might do a little research and see if that article can be found. For some reason, just really want to know what the problem is with this ammo. Guess it would be nice to have a .308 cartridge with this performance, but of...

    Hornady Superformance in M1A?

    Re: Hornady Superformance in M1A? Thanks for the help bricktop. So even with the Adj. plug you still wouldn't feel comfortable shooting Superformance? Or would you feel safe(ER) to even try it? Just can't fathom how a cartridge can open up the doors for so much controversy. Some say it works...

    Hornady Superformance in M1A?

    Re: Hornady Superformance in M1A? Would you care to suggest and adjustable gas plug? Was thinking about that purchase anyway considering the diversity in all the ammo out there today.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell vs Nikon

    Re: Bushnell vs Nikon Should have added, the Trijicon, IMO is worth another $290 over the Nikon. It was that much nicer. This isn't the place for that, but in case someone was wondering.....

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell vs Nikon

    Re: Bushnell vs Nikon Previously had a Bushnell Elite and after doing some comparisons today between Trijicon and Nikon Monarch, there IS something "weird" about the Nikon's color. It was dull. In full light circumstance, you would probably never tell. Look at something in shadow defilade...

    Rifle Scopes Is 1.25-4x24 scope enough for 300-500 yards?

    Re: Is 1.25-4x24 scope enough for 300-500 yards? Thanks Felder, that was really what I was looking for. Real world utilization of a similiar kit. The Weaver seems like a viable option, but having used Trijicon in the past, I'm comfortable with their quality more so than Weavers. Just don't...
