  1. Seriously considering selling my Open pistol to fund a motorcycle.  

     

    Im torn... I get attached to things and I love my STI DVC, but I will be listing it in the classifieds to see if there is interest.  I don't get the opportunity to shoot it enough for me to justify keeping it when my wife doesn't want to me to take cash out of an acct when I could sell a gun that just sits there.  

     

    I feel like I have the bobber itch and I need to scratch it.  

     

    Has as anyone had real sellers remorse in a similar situation?

    That sounds like " the general consensus".

     

    BUT< have you tried the 55's at 400 yards?   Might be accurate/wind bucking enough for your matches???

    I haven't really given it a fair go at those distances, kinda followed the crowd on the heavier weights.  Might be worth a shot for my wallet.

    Optics are important and one should never skimp on optics.

    However, Custom rifles built by competent smiths are much nicer than factory rifles. There is a difference.

    Now...sometimes the problem is finding a competent Smith.

    True... have all the nicest parts and an incompetent Smith will test your sanity.

    Length of the barrel gets you a different gas system, but won't (shouldn't) effect accuracy. The 16 will be shorter around walls and ports and a little lighter. The 18 with rifle gas may have a bit better recoil feel.

     

    I think the consensus is that a muzzle break and adjustable gas have more impact on recoil than the gas system length

     

    +1 went with an 18" and not seen a real reason I wish I had a 16".  Either will be good to go.  I was in the same boat as you and chose the 18 due to ranges i shoot being mostly over 3-400y

    Said in a barber shop I was in, at 14, I'm now 47, and I still remember laughing out loud!

    "You can shoot a guy in the arm with an M16 and it will kill him because the gun was designed to shoot a tumbling bullet. It turns end over end as it flies, that's why the army uses them. They're deadly."

    Made my day

    Practicing at a local club with my AR for an upcoming match at the 300 yard range. 

    I meet some very nice gentleman shooting a nicer than average bolt gun. They have spent thousands more on their bolts but are happy with the same results I get from my simple AR.

    Will I do better building a 308 .

     

    I'd drop the money on the optic and build around a Tikka Action.  The rifle will shoot just as good as custom guns at a much cheaper price.
