Much better day today.. I ran only the Federal AE 223 55gr FMJ..

 

Range was busier than normal.. alot of father & son /or daughter time..

 

Rifle is DPMS 5.56 Oracle with 16" Lite Barrel and A3 Flat-Top..

DPMS Miculek Brake (pinned), and C-Product 20 Mags (pinned to 14), and Bushnell Red Dot (Tactical model with T and 3 MOA center dot).. using front Caldwell BAG for rest..

 

At 100 yards sighting in the 3MOA red dot..

 

 

then some 4" CLAY action at 100 yards..

 

 

then last volley of 10 rounds at 100 yards..

 

 

then 5 shots at 200 to see what would happen.. (red dot is like 6" at 200 yards).

 

 

Overall a good Fathers Day for me..

May as well add the celabatory pic of the rifle setup and the target..

 

 

 

FWIW.. the 4" clays at 100 yards once the red-dot was setup was amazingly easy and fun..

 

now my AR in 308 did manage in 2 shots to take out a 3" AR500 steel target I had on the ground last weekend.. so suffice to say that is dialed-in.. IMHO.. at 100 yards the 3" targets were easy pickins as well..

R14 staff permitted you to shoot steel @ 100yds?

I was sighting in my AR today as well. I did not think to save any targets (duh!) because we were running late but my son was grouping all ten well within a 3" bullseye at 50 yards and grouping about 5" at 100 yards and killing clays at both distances. We'll work on improving that next time out. My K10-22T was dead on at 25 and 50 yards.

 

What a great day to be out shooting!

@ j0n... that was last weekend and I didn't see the rules till today..

 

also a 3" target on the ground is a little hard to see from the booth I guess..

 

I also shot it at 200 yards..

 

some guy was shooting stop signs at 200 yards.. so I figured at 100 yards a 3" target don't pose much threat.. again MHO..

@ XD.. yes was a good day today. weather was great..

 

my THEORY is:

 

DPMS 5.56 w/red dot for upto 350 yards and the DPMS 308 w/scope for out to 650 yards..

I agree, I wish I could shoot my AR500 closer than 200. I was curious if the rules had chaged.

i have the email for the 3" makers if you want.. there on a base..

 

they are $5/each min order of 3 .. shipping is $5.. total is $20.. PM me..

 

paint is knocked off.. thats it... with 308 FMJ ammo.

Appreciate it, but I have 3", 6" and 10" already

I am pretty sure that is a no-no, I imagine if you get assigned lane 13, 14 or 15 and you paint it orange like a clay, they may not notice?

they are $5/each min order of 3 .. shipping is $5.. total is $20.. PM me..

 

Do they make any larger ones?

Krd.. PM inbound..

give them a ring.. ask for Melissa..

 

stick with AR500 3/8" and you shoot be GTG with most rifle cals upto 308..

 

the 1/2" AR500 gets PRICEY.. $$$ again ask for 3/8".. thats what I got for 3" and only $5 each 2 months ago.. (these are not the AP36 you see selling on Ebay btw) hence you have to ask for AR500 in 3/8"

 

1/2" AR500 4" target

Very impressive. I have never used reddot. How does it handle bullet drop?

@ AntZ..

 

there is no 'drop' adjustment with a red dot normally..

 

this one looks like a T pattern..

 

 

you set it at said distance.. 100 or 200 yards (or whatever)..

 

and YOU raise the sight manually for the distance to shoot further out..

 

say its set at a 100 yard ZERO.. you raise it 3.3" to hit at 200 yards.. then 13.1" for 300 yards.. (these based on XM193 ammo for 223/5.56)..

 

I'm about 2" high at 100 yard ZERO setting.. so I am good for shots out to say 250 yards or so.. just point & shoot..
