New rifle I've been wanting for a long time

**ScottGoodman** · 08-01-2012, 09:30 PM

Some of you know that I'm one of those guys who loves to punch holes in paper, the smaller the grouping (5-shots...not three) the better. I've been wanting a M-14 or AR-10 for a long time. It has taken razors, stones, and other firearms sales along with some severe penny pinching over the last 1 1/2-2 years of my personal play $ to buy this baby from a seller on gunbroker...new in the box & they had it in hand. I had placed a order thru a Rock River dealer three months ago for a LAR-8 Predator HP & at first was told it would be less than two months. The latest update was that it would be the end of September or into October. I cancelled the order and started searching & this is what I came up with. I hope the wait was worth it! No, I didn't pay retail:

Nice,but why shoot that little Javalena with a .308?

Nice rifle!

Years ago I had a friend who got the long version. When I saw it I couldn't believe my eyes cause it was so awesome.

Enjoy!

Congratulations on getting something you wanted

The AR platform was originally designed for the 7.62 so going to the root is not a bad thing. The caliber is a little bit more than most folks would think was a varmint rifle, but that depends or your definition of varmint.

I think you need one of these: THE WORLDS MOST POWERFUL SNIPER RIFLE | Guns Lot

I mean...one shot - target disappears. No more four extra rounds to prove a thing. If you have an audience, look at them and ask "Any questions?"

Nice enough rifle alright but I prefer the FN FAL. The reason being too many years shooting it or more precisely the C1A1 8L series from Long Branch. I did get a chance to shoot an original AR 10 30 years ago, I think it was Dutch made, and found it OK. Just have never took a liking to the AR15/16 design.

Nice rifle! Much cooler than my Ruger 10/22. My two boys would love one of those.

Enjoy

Nice rifle. I have been wanting to get an AR-10 to go along with my AR-15. I also finally got a rifle that I have been wanting to get a 30-30 lever action. It is nice holding a rifle in your hands that you have been wanting to get for awhile. Sad thing is I still haven't taken mine to the range yet.

No javalena here, just feral hogs & I wouldn't hunt one without a large rifle. The .458 Socom I have is great for hogs here, but you are limited in rage to 150 yards or less...the .308 changes things. I'm a reloader, so I don't have to pay $25-30 a box for match grade ammo thank goodness. Who knows, this one may replace the .458 Socom...time will tell.
