I have a G36C and was in the process of making a G36K. My question is, have any of you used the SL8-6 as a long range target plinker before?

I'm debating putting a low pro rail and an optic on it. But at the same time, I can sell it to get better optic or other gear for my long range rifles.

It's decision time for me bc the rifle is BNIB still. I have the g36 bolt, stock, fbi 0-1 lower all bnib too, so altogether I can get some decent glass if I sell it all.

Let me know your thoughts if you would make it a fun shooter for a couple hundred yards, or sell it to fuel the never ending hobby of long range gear. I'm really leaning towards selling it since i'm quickly gaining more interest in PRS/Long Range matches at my local range.

Personally I'd sell it and move on. You're just putting lipstick on a pig otherwise.

I went down the rabbit hole on these a couple years ago for months and came to the conclusion it was a bunch of work for little gain.
