If i remember this one correctly, I had to walk the shots in (didn't yet understand turning clicks for elevation) so there was some 'Kentucky windage' involved. Anyway, 500 yard shots at things like pie plate size shouldn't be that hard with the right ammo and trigger, but that's just my two cents. |

You are going to want to find the heaviest pills that your rifle likes, those small rounds don’t move steel plates very well. So it’s hard to tell when you get hits.
That being said with my old MK12, I could hit steel to 750, then the rounds just became too hard to duplicate. Man size “elements” out to 650. |

I will throw is Savage as a beater-class AR15 that's still a good dependable rifle. In the 600 to 800 range. They can be hard to find as they sell fast when in stock. But so is the Ruger and S&W in this day and age of shortage on everything.

Also PSA has great daily deals to keep an eye out. I have 2 of those PSA in 556 and 308 and have no regrets at all.

I just thought of another that seems always available in Acadamy Sports when I am out and around Century Arms seems like the AR15 is available on display The AK 47 copy is hit or miss if on display but it's a popular rifle the American-made AK's. I have no idea of the quality but they seem ok.

That's a very interesting round and much easier reload with it being non-belted. In my elk hunting days before my knees went south I'd probably traded my Remington 700 classic in 300 Weatherby mag just to turret load instead of one at a time.

And probably painful. These days i can comfortably shoot maybe 20 rounds out of my .30-06. Then my shoulder's had enough. Would be fun though, for a minute. What do you plink at with a 300 PRC? |

I ended up gong this direction after rating the pros and cons and reading a lot of reviews. Ordered it up for the good guy sale price as well.

Ok, now that I have my beater trail gun, I'm looking at getting a beater trail scope. I'm looking for something that if I have a catastrophic incident, where it falls off the ATV and crashes into a boulder, I won't be sitting around pissed off for a week. I have some very nice scopes on some of my other AR's, but I don't need a $2400 ElcanDR, or anything like that. I also don't want the Walmart $39 super special, that's going to break after I cross my first boulder field with it. My gut instinct is to go with something around the $300 range, or less. Perhaps something like the Burris AR-536? https://www.opticsplanet.com/burris-...dot-sight.html I'm not crazy about this one, because I'm not crazy about the reticle. I think it would obscure to much of the target.
Suggestions on a scope that isn't going to break the bank, yet isn't a complete piece of shrapnel? Last edited by Bwana; 04-15-2023 at 09:49 AM.. |

Just my opinion, on that kind of usage, I'd go with a red dot and magnifier, like a Romeo and Juliet setup. Maybe you want something a tier better than Sig's bottom level, but that's what I would go with. I've been wanting to outfit one on an 10.5 or something for the sprayer/tractor, but I have trouble turning loose of the money these days. |

Pick one of these out, they aren’t special but will do the job. Pick one with pr pick up a lever for the magnification |
