I'm not some total basses and didn't say I was. Anyone with the right gear can hit a target at long distance with some formal training. I can't knock the ass off of a khat at a 1000 but I can at least hit a target....that's not being arrogant. I bet every one of you who shoots out that far are all hand loading their own rounds....have custom dope calculators....even PDA applications to set up their scope dope. Am I mistaken? Or do y'all just go out there and hope for the best?

I would suggest taking some basic and advanced rifle courses taught by magpul, XE, or 360 tactical here in Houston. Training makes us all better...yes...especially me. </div></div>

What Sheriffs range in the Austin area that has a 1k yard range? All the LEO ranges that I know of in TX is very short.

Something tells me the closest this guy gets to a SWAT vehicle is with a pressure washer.

Your reference to those "in the know" and your target size, and my knowledge of LE folks leads me to assess you are a wannabe cop, or a cop that is a wannabe rifleman.

Next you'll be referring to the medulla oblongata as "the apricot" or do you already do that........at the gun store?</div></div>



Medulla oblongata? Isn't that a sports car or something?.... I wanna see the ass knocked of the khat myself!

Learning stuff every day!

One thing that puzzles me is on POFs website it says this "(“5R” polygonal)" Looking at mine I dont see poly contouring only rifling. Anyone care to elaborate on this? </div></div>

Its been a while since I brushed up on the subject but if memory serves me correct.

5R reffers to the rifling of the barrel. 5 lands and grooves are used instead of 6 as most barrels of similar caliber. 5 is used for even distribution of force around the round as it travels down the barrel. Where there is a land on one side of the barrel there is a groove on the other.

Polygonal is the actual edge of the rifling that is cut into the barrel. Polygonal has angled edges as opposed to perpendicular.

Re: POF or LWRC REPR?

5R is a cut that one of the edges of the lands is not squared, reducing drag.
Polygonal is where the bullet is forced into the "corners" of say and octagon, instead of into the grooves of rifling.

</div></div>add in the fact 2 ways to chrome the barrel -1]oversize and plate to spec 2]normal size- wash with agent which to open bore up ,plate to spec -this way looks like frosted gray ...and its cheaper!!

In my opinion the REPR hands down.

The POF is kinda like a Dodge truck. It's functional, it works.....but the fit and finish is like a plastic dashboard.

The REPR is like a Mercedes in comparison.

I found it to be more accurate as well.</div></div>

Comparing a POF to a Dodge, only to compare the LWRC to a Mercedes? That's rich! </div></div>
Considering Mercedes owns Dodge/Chrysler last I heard.
As REPR VS POF, I've been doing a lot of research(no personal experience with either) and I've settled on the REPR.
