Did you have the mag it came with pinned to 15? Or did you buy it online already pinned. Just curious.

It only came with 1 ten. I bought 2 - 15/20's already fixed. Don't know exactly if they get pinned. Neither are able to be open. Both are metal. They are by Check-Mate and get very high ratings.

Thanks Nick... Looking forward to doing some plinking. I'll be re-joining Cherry Ridge soon...

Took off the plastic stock and dropped it in a nice wood m14 stock...

Enjoy it

very nice. congrats

The mag weights are a wash. If anything the 308 has the advantage. You need at least a 223 double tap to come close to a single 308 round. Even with body armor, a 308 center of mass is going to break ribs and take you out of the fight for awhile.

 

As far as the other accessories and weight. Well if you are humping it, I like to travel light so a 1x4 or 2x7 optic would be it. Get a good NM Strap and settle into a good prone position and you don't need a bipod. Stick that Surefire on your belt and keep it lean.

 

Conducting some roof top diplomacy?... Then you can bust out the big glass along with a bi-pod, and pack a sammich or two.

 

I'm jealous for sure.

It was just an experiment for weight comparisons... I only have an Aimpoint Pro and a bipod on it. Everything else is off. I've been keeping the bipod on because it's easier to work on. I don't have a rifle cleaning stand or rifle stand. When I shot rifle at CR years ago, I used a heavy bag..... Humping it would make no diff in your scenario. It's heavy no matter what.

 

If your free, stop over tonight... Check it out.

Hey John, Happy Birthday and congrats on the Socom II. That is a sweet rifle. I found what I was looking for by the way also. I am very stoked to finally get what I was looking for. Good luck with that Socom.
