deputy tom Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Thirty some years ago I owned a Remington model seven in .308 caliber. Great little deer rifle. tom. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted March 8 Administrators Share Posted March 8 I don't currently own one, but I've owned three M1As and a couple of AR-10s. I fired a metric buttload of 7.62x51 ammo out of M-14s and M-60s in the Army as well. I am a big fan of the caliber. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted March 8 Administrators Share Posted March 8 Oh, and I had a FN Scar Heavy for a while too. I liked the action of the rifle, but I wasn’t impressed with the stock. It felt cheap and fragile to me. It shot nicely, but for me, it didn’t do anything so much better than a standard AR-10 to justify the substantial added cost. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you do, the rifle trains you to accept, then like, then prefer that feel. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you do, the rifle trains you to accept, then like, then prefer that feel. I gave it a fair chance. I just don't think it is worth the price tag. The folding stock in particular feels flimsy. I did not like how the stock flexed sideways at the folding pivot point when a shot it. I wasn't crazy about the charging handle either, whether it was on the left or right side if the receiver. Don't get me wrong, FN makes a fine product, but any advantages it may have over a Bushmaster AR-10 are lost on me. A $1,200 Bushy 7.62 will do anything I would ever ask of such a rifle. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted March 8 Administrators Share Posted March 8 Here is the Scar Heavy on the day I bought it. I bought the .500 S&W Magnum the same day. That was an expensive trip to the gunshop. The .500 Magnum on the counter in the FN pic belongs to a buddy of mine. He bought it the same day I bought the FN and revolver. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramjet38 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Target explains itself. I'm not a very steady shooter by no means, but this is a bench rest. The top group as noted on the target was a bore site test, then the others with scope adjustments. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inyo Tim Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Winchester Featherweight, Too old and stove up to hunt, but always wanted one and decided to go ahead and buy one before I croak. Had it about a year and is my favorite rifle to shoot. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
