(I also need to get a bigger gun safe...)

Legion, your gun needs some mods - collapsable butt stock, Ergo grip, a rail system, tac light and some optics. But you have a good platform there.

Nice!

Wow...what fun!

I put 20 rounds through it this morning (had to cut it short to meet some friends for lunch). I was getting it on paper from 100 yards.

I didn't think I'd like the open sights, but they are adjustable for windage and elevation, so I think I may just keep them.

Rick, this one I'll keep stock. I like it how it is. I may pick up a lower at the next gun show though. ;)

I agree. The look of a stock one is the main reason I want one. No offense Rick, but yours, although highly functional I agree, is just simply not pretty. :rolleyes:

Glad you like it. Here is my RRA, I ws just testing the fit of parts, I have since mounted the scope straight to the flat top receever so the scope sits closer to the barrell.

I can't imagine buying one of these rifles for the cosmetic look. My mods are all functional stuff that make it easier to use in different situations. Nothing at all wrong with keeping them stock, if it's only ever gonna be a range plinker.

I added a collaspible stock to mine just for the heck of it, but a stock "old school"20" barreled, solid stocked, plain Jane M16 of vietnam vintage seemed plenty functional 20 yrs ago in the army.

Out to 300m a scope is really not necessary on an A2 or later. The iron sights are THAT good.

Rick Lee 08-09-2008 03:33 PM

I just picked up a Remington model 700 in 30-06 with a phat Bushnell scope today at the Tucson gun show. Can't wait to try her out.

Hey, what lubricant should I be using on this. I cleaned it after two range excursions and used Rem Oil, but that seems thinner than the lubricant that came on it.

Is this the thread about the Audi?

Are you kidding!?

Between Jim and Tim, they make my 951 look cheap to run and easy to repair.
