Any of you guys have cool guns?

I'll start with a couple of my favorites.

Barrett 50bmg
Savage 308 that I just screwed a new Rock creek 260 barrel on
Another new NightForce scope, somehow I blew the cash for the rifle that it was going to go on. BUT I do have an HK MP5K clone coming in it's place

I sure would like one of this nightforce scopes on my Sako .300 Win Mag.

I have a Zeiss Diavari 3-9 variable. Ready to upgrade.

Mine r pretty boring compared to that

 

[Elkaholic4life]

I took the little 260 out to a mile (1760 yards) a couple weeks ago. 7 shots fired and 3 confirmed hits. 24"x24" target. 5 to 7 mile an hour wind. the farthest I'd ever shot was 1400 yards before this day.

I never figured I'd spend over 2k on a scope. after having one and realizing how good they are.... well, I guess you can see what happened.

How about an SBR that I built about a year ago. Before anyone flips out, this is a registered SBR... I have tax stamp in hand.



Here I'm helping one of my buddy's 5 year old son shoot a full auto M16 with a 22lr kit in it. this little guy cost me about 1000 rounds of 22lr and about 800 rounds of 9mm threw the full auto MP5 this day the machine guns belong to an FFL07/SOT friend of mine. There post samples

Nothin really fancy but I really Like my new Savage Axis II w/Accutrigger 223 bolt rifle just put a new Vortex 4-12x40 scope nice clear scope shot it pretty acurate to 550yrds with off shelf Rem 55grn ammo need to find longer range. Like my Savage Mark II w/Acutrigger also .22 with weaver 4-9x40 scope both very acurate straight shooters

I like Kimber. Was all set to treat myself to an AR15 had the SCOTUS flushed The Affordable Care Act but it didn't happen so I don't have one.

I do a lot of long range shooting. The guys that I shoot with all shoot different brand rifles and I've tried them all. I'm not saying that any of them are bad but I prefer my Savage. I still have the accutrigger but have polished everything and lightened it up..

Not sure what your barrel twist is but you might want to try some heaver bullets for distance. I've done 1000 yards out of my 20 inch bull barreled AR shooting 75gr Hornady hand loads

Sweet looking pistol. What I'm about to say is not meant to sound negative if it comes out that way. I've shot 3 different Kimber's, I was going to buy one of them. 2 of the 3 bounced the brass off of my forehead. I was told that being dirty or the ejector needed to be tuned was the problem. They all shot great but I decided to pass on buying one.

I do have my Grandfathers Colt 1911 that was build in 1918. Yes, I still shoot it.


Since you talked about an AR... I call this one my bunny gun. A few bunny's have seen the business end of it

 

[go high fast]

Beautiful 1911 and knowing that it was your Grand Fathers makes is priceless!! Very Cool!

I happed to notice the Hartford CT on your Grand Fathers 1911. I grew up in New Haven CT and made many trips past the beautiful Colt factory in Hartford which was located just off the I 95. Sad the way things have gone for the gun manufacturers in this country. Also now gone from CT is Winchester. Cant even remember right at the moment what's happened to Remington, Mossberg, Savage and Hi Standard. I think the only CT gun company left may be Ruger and Springfield Armory may be the last in MA?......sad stuff.

Beautiful 1911 you have there!!!
