The other part of the equation is the mental decision to use deadly force when and if it becomes necessary.

Again, my apologies. I see a lot of 'tacticool' people at the ranges that absolutely have to have the latest and greatest gadget on their toy and can't hit the broad side of a barn, yet blow through a box of ammo, no perceptible group on the paper and consider themselves John Wayne. :shakes head:

Your on the370z. No need to apologize. I never took it as disparaging (btw dont use big words here, its not polite. Some of us cant keep up).

No worries! I did not take your comments negatively! I was just putting my :twocents: in the mix for the benefit of everyone. IMO the more info the better. :tup:

I know how you feel. Seeing people's targets that look like they were shooting a shot gun at 25 yards but, it was actually it was a pistol at 20 feet, :facepalm: I also hate it when people blame bad marksmanship on the gun.

The thing the gets me the most riled up is when some one at the range says to me “You got that gun because it was in (insert video game or movie).” I usually set them strait on that one. My ACR drew comments like that for awhile, especially when it was new. How ever my one firearm that never fails to draw stupid comments is…“Isn’t that the Lara Croft gun?”…my H&K USP 45 Match. I absolutely hate those movies because of what it did to the price and perception of that gun. I was very luck to get mine, a safe queen that was barely shot and the guy was local, for $1900. At the time USP Matches were going for $2500-$3000. Now they go for $3500-$5000 all because of those movies. :mad: Also had to school my self on spotting fake USP Matches too because of those movies. There are many converted USPs and straight up fakes out their being sold as genuine USP Matches.

Ok.. here it is. Mounted and bore sighted. I was at the range today, but only shot the pistols and the Henry. The 700 will have to wait a while. Just got my stitches out on Friday from knee surgery.

It is a NightForce NXS 5.5-22 X 56 with the MOAR reticle. The mount is the direct fit for the Remington 700P with the 20 MOA rise. Now to learn how to properly use it....

I love the smell of gun powder in the morning!

I know, I know...not correctly quoted. But it's been almost three weeks since I shot anything.

I do love that smell, tho

My other hobby..

RA XCR-L looks like the SCAR 17 (heavy) that I have my eyes set on.

I also did too until I researched it more, then I changed my mind.
similar stocks tho
very similar and the xcr is also quick change barrel along with any of these calibers to choose from (5.45, 5.56,6.5,6.8, 300 blk, 7.62x39).

Battle Arms Development (they make the BAD ambi safety selector) has started making AR15 lowers with their known attention to detail. Looking forward to building a rifle with it. Lots of advanced engineering in the fabrication process. The logo is 3-D laser cut, the finish is beautiful.

Damn, that looks really nice. Thanks for posting the pics. Now I'm going to have to search for these. :tup:

The RA XCR-M is the 308 (7.62x51) version, comparable to the SCAR 17S.
The RA XCR-L is comparable to the SCAR 16S.

:twocents: I rather take a SCAR 17S over a RA XCR-M because there are more available parts, it is lighter weight, and the big one, it is a battle proven rifle. When I eventually get mine I'll be doing the Handl Defense SCAR25 lower conversion. This will allow me to use SR-25/M110 pattern magazines.

You might want to check your info on those. RA doesn't make 6.5 Grendel barrels any more and I'm unsure if they ever did. RA did say they were working on one a while back.

RA never released a 300 BLK barrel and I don't think they ever will. RA did say they were working on a .300-221 (300 BLK) barrel a while back but nothing came of it. From what I've read 300 BLK is hard to adapt to piston guns with out completely redesigning the gas system. Many companies have tried and when they couldn't get their standard gas system to work they stopped trying.
