hopalong Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Back last Ft. Benning 3-gun Challenge (EXCELLENT match BTW) Bruce was the winner of his Division. So............. He picked up a Sabre Defence Competition Master AR-15 off the prize table but did not want to mess with getting it back home. So............. After a little haggling I end up with it. So.............. I finally go shoot the thing. So............... I put a 1x4 leupold scope on it and after getting it set where I want it at 100 yds I go to 200. So............... I got a 1 1/2" five shot group at 200 all within 1 inch of my aim point !!!!!! And I don't even like these things. Now the best part !!!!!! I've always shot Heavy Metal as I preferr MY M1A as my rifle to go too. BUT, I found out getting ready for Ft. Benning my barrel is shot out. I still go to the match, shoot heavy metal with a shot out rifle and end up coming home with an AR-15 because of the AMU hosting the MOST EXCELLENT match, Sabre Defence for sponsoring it and Bruce for winning it and then selling it to me. (one for each of you ) So.............. I now have a delima. What to shoot ? Tactical, or Heavy Metal ???? Darn the problems !!!! I guess I'll just have to switch between the two as the matches come.

P.E. Kelley Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hop!!!!!!!!! Please remain loyal to the order of Heavy Metalists!!!!!!!!! I have two of them "way to easy to hit with" Sabre carbines and I love 'em but........ Heavy Metal......M1A's, recoil, ammo management schemes, pump shotgun recoil, low cap, big bullet pistols........ oh damn I forgot how hard it is and how easy the bullet hoser, mouse gunner's got it! Forget what I said man and just step away from that little 223 and come to your senses! Or maybe I should come to mine! Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Sam, I'd tease ya about a lot of stuff. But, even I won't tease you about having some fun getting away from 6 or 20 rounds from time to time. Gotta keep your practical skilz up and well rounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scout454 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hop, Jeff Cramblet and David Power talked me in to trying Sabre barrels. I just finished building a new rifle with an 18" Sabre fluted barrel. 1.5-8 IOR, 200 yards, 69 grain Match Kings, 5 shots, .67" Thanks Sabre!

hopalong Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Mike, Now you've gone and made me have to go shoot it again. Have to see if it is a sub 1 incher at 200 yds (I'm pretty sure it is, but maybe the driver ? ) Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
