Fellow member and friend James Bailey and I took some walnut furniture up to his beautiful farm in the middle if nowhere Rappahannock County. After we unloaded the furniture we did some shooting. First we dumped several magazines out of my AR with a binary trigger...not quite like full auto but it rocks and rolls pretty well. I t needs good ammo though, the cheap plinking stuff jammed quite often where as the green tip runs smoothly. Then we got to some long range. Went as far out as 700 yards with his custom 308. He was banging steel regular in a near full crosswind gusting up to 12-15 mph. I got on the steel on my fourth shot.
My big take away is that now I understand why ya'll laugh and call the Remington X Mark trigger (the stock one in my 5R) a lawyers design. Up until I shot his rifle with a Jewell I thought the X Mark was pretty smooth...my only comparisons having been some hunting rifles and my Barrett M82-1. Sheeeeiiiit, looks like I know where some of my stimulus money is going. First shot it really surprised me even after some dry fires.
Finished up by running a few mags through my brand new Glock 30 just for fun.
A good day at the range with a good buddy.
