Maybe you need to switch over to more offensive shirts like mine that say "If you run you will just die tired" with a pic of a sniper on it :twisted: The only ones that comment are LE that know where it came from

Maks, not sure what competition your refering too but NRA High Power would be the most likely candidate that comes to mind.... well RRA lists their NM rifle at 9.7 pounds :shock: .

I must be odd or something. Im just not that bothered by heavy..... Maybe everything else just seems not so bad compared to my 15 to 18lb Precision Rifles. Im going to go buy a fish scale but estimated here are the weights: FAL is roughly 10Lbs MWS is roughly 10Lbs XCR mid 8's Colt mid 8's AR10 guessing 17 SRS guessing 15

Honestly, I suggest this entire thread be scrapped. They NEVER turn out well........

Well that stuff is asthetics. Your stuck there either way....

I think the good Dr. has been prescribing himself meds liberally!!!!!!!

Also, I do not believe the stock is Carbon Fiber. Especially the way it is commonly thought of. If Im not mistaken it is Polymer reinforced with CF strands. Which BTW is ine of the reasons the G36 hasnt fared so well. After a heavy day at the range with a good dose of full auto, they tended to sag :shock:

Well its hard for one person to answer what another should do so I can only say what I would do/be interested in. If I were hot to do a G36ish conversion I would like one. But you will spend almost double the price of the rifle to get there. So that was always a turn off. There are conversion to make it AR mag capable but again its pricey. I HATE the stock stock. And Im not opposed to thmbhole stocks but that one really is horrid for me anyway. At this point with SCAR,s and ACR,s available I think that you really have to have a hankering for an SL8 to go that route. If you do then Melgamatics looks to be a really good deal considering all the extras. Shane

Well... not to sound condescending because really Im not trying to but if its a "heys guys look at this" kinda thing, buy whatever blows your skirt up. It beomes irrelavant if there is no role you are trying to fullfill.

Whats your LR shooting experience? What are you trying to achieve?

None of the above. Privately owned

Hell in most states a rifle in the back window is ok!!!

Ahhh I'll stick with the shuttle... "To achieve orbit, the shuttle must accelerate from zero to a speed of almost 28,968 kilometers per hour (18,000 miles per hour), a speed nine times as fast as the average rifle bullet." By the way, I secured my self a seat on a Rusky jet!!! Awaiting details

Tony, its the magnums that get ya. A few S&W shooters with bad form found that out the hard way on 460's or 500's I believe.... http://www.3dshoots.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12910

Im infuriated. My tax dollars were wasted sending an agent out for this nonsense!

Three friends have a nice meal together, and the bill is $25 The three friends pay $10 each, which the waiter gives to the Cashier The Cashier hands back $5 to the Waiter But the Waiter can't split $5 three ways, so he gives the friends one dollar each and keeps 2 dollars as a tip. They all paid $10 and got $1 back. $10-$1 = $9 There were three of them 3 X $9 = $27 If they paid $27 and the waiter kept $2: $27+$2=$29 Where did the other dollar go? $30 - $1 = $29

Two pieces of info that stand out. The closed face which like I said is a true compensator trait, the other is apparently the PR of Kali has accepted it as a comp so its Cali legal. IIRC it was determined Mass legal as well. So its kinda if it got past Kali, I think we are ok here. But theres always that Jersey, ya never know factor

ronhonda, I think you are missing my point. Forget competing against others. Can YOU ultimately go faster with an open gun or a stock glock against yourself for fastest possible time? Which wins? My point is you can go faster with the open gun because of what an open gun can do that a stocker cant, the advantages it gives. Conversely a stocker can do things an open gun cant like get thrown down a hallway and still work because theirs no cmore to snap off etc etc. Its not an argument of possibilities, its an argument of comparing apples to oranges. The space shuttle and a piper cub both fly, doesnt mean they are comparable. If I want to win a race to the clouds, I think Ill choose the space shuttle.

Had a good chat with BC today. I am confident it is Jersey legal at this point (but dont take this as legal advice, just my opinion). I think at some point I will give one a try. As to weight, well theres weight and then theres feel. My XCR and my Colt weigh about the same but my Colt feels lighter. Same thing with my FAL and my LMT. Now a socom2 felt heavy as sh!t to me but I know its within a pound of the DSA. If I had to make a guess, its where the weight is carried. If its out at the extremties it will feel heavy, if its "mass centralized" it wont feel so bad.

Does it ryme with *CR

Heres an honest to goodness mosin question. Every vid I see, the operator seems to be wrestling heavily with the bolt. Are they just not used to it or is it difficult to manipulate? And ray, I dont hate Stag, after all its an AR and I dont hate revolvers, I just hate them for me unless its a freedom arms 4 3/4" 454 :twisted:

Hehe no actually. After MUCH deliberation between the SCAR-H and the LMT-MWS I went LMT. I know, I know its not a piston gun but.... several things swayed me. 1. Quality of the LMT is reportedly through the roof 2. Mags! Getting mags for the SCAR is going to be a wait measured in months and probably 2x$ a normal mag 3. After market support. They are already planning barrels in 260 rem 4. Supposedly the LMT beat the SCAR-H and the HK 417 in the British trials EVEN for reliability!!! I havent found any scources close to the trials yet to confirm. The only real major factor that the SCAR won out big over the LMT was weight. And if I was that worried Id go loose 40 lbs

I agree with 67 here. Your horizontal dispersion at 10 yds is what gives me a bit of an indication that your technique may have some issues.

For me Im REALLY tempted because the rifle I have inbound is a 16" 308 :shock:
