MAC702 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 No Ljungmans, no. They occasionally appear at our vintage matches locally, but you need at least .308 for USPSA HM. I'd bring my buddy's .30-06 BAR, but its selector doesn't have a semi-auto, just fast or faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberWes Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I got into the heavies on the cheap. I bought a used Remington R-25 online for about $800.00 and had my local gunsmith/guru thread the barrel for a brake (another $50.00). The R-25 model seems to weigh a ton (but it's my 1st .308, so what do I know?). It takes the "right" type of magazines too. The factory camo paint job is pretty lame, but if unacceptable, I suppose it could be "can-o-dized". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRider Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 My iron sighted 20" rifle weighs 10 pounds, about the same as my M1A. Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellyn Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Forget the M1A. It's a bad ass Heavy Metal Iron rifle but it was never designed for a scope. As for the FAL, I ran one with quite some success for many years. Get a DSA scope mount/dust cover and you're good to go. The trigger will never be as good as an AR10. But they point GREAT and a properly set up will shoot 1 - 1 1/2 MOA. They have a slower mag change but that's not that big a deal. But let's face it, the JP LRP-07 is the way to go. Great trigger, quick mag change, 1/2 MOA accuracy. There is no better Heavy Metal Optics Rifle at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) There really isn't any reason to not go with a AR-308 platform. Best accuracy, Best trigger, and as good of reliability as any other 308 platform out there. Kelly, I agree the FAL is a pretty good rifle, for such a new design. Here's the FAL's grandfather- FN49.

Fireman064 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Just got into Heavy Optics and I'm hooked. Started with a Aero M5 matched set Rainier arms 18" barrel CMMG 15" key mod LUTHAR stock CMMG LPK & BCG Lantac Dragon ALG Combat trigger Ran it for the first time at Bushmaster.... few changes I have to make. Going with a more comp style trigger (currently has a ALG combat, but use to shooting a 24c in all my TacOps rifles. Slapped the piss out of the trigger the whole match) Man that 308 hits plate racks like a freight train. Got a 3 for 1 on stage #6 plate rack.

Langenator Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Argentine even (easily distinguishable by the detachable box mag.) I've got an Egyptian 8mm version, stripper clips only. There really isn't any reason to not go with a AR-308 platform. Best accuracy, Best trigger, and as good of reliability as any other 308 platform out there.

3GunRunner Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) http://jprifles.com/buy.php?item=RR-LRP07HMCR I know you said "other than JP" but this one is in their Ready Rifle program so iit should be built and ready to go; as long as they have one in stock.

P.E. Kelley Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Never been a hard core fan of the AR in 308 but this Rhino Arms rifle is changing my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Just for kicks and wiggles I'd kinda like to see the same drill run with a M1A and a FAL. And of course whichever 308 rifle you are a hard core fan of Pat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.E. Kelley Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I am sure I could equal that run with the M1A, and am sure I could not with a FAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanq Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Pat, I just built my 1st 308. What distance do you zero your 308 at with the 155s ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.E. Kelley Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Depends on your sight system. Irons, 1x, scope, scope with BDC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
