Greetings fellow enthusiasts!
After a 13-year hiatus due to birth of 2 kids and all that I'm getting back into shooting and I'm kicking it off with a new grendel rifle. It's everything I wish the AR was back when I still active.
Both of my ARs were A2s. One 20" HBAR and the other 16". Almost everything from the factory was milspec back then. A3s and float tubes were pretty new when I fell off the face of the Earth.
Last thing I remember was that I was reloading .308 for my Savage 110 to shoot high power metallic silhouettes and I got to thinking that it would be great to shoot an AR on the high power course. But, alas, it was just a dream...5.56 won't cut it in high power. Now my prayers have been answered...
I'm pretty sure an AR does not qualify to be a silhouette rifle but the matches I used to shoot in were completely informal(Ojai Valley Gun Club). I'm just hoping it will have enough juice to knock down the rams at 500 meters. However, David Tubb used to use a .243 for high power so if I can shoot like he does, I think I'll be safe
My new rig is built on a LMT lower with a 2-stage trigger (LMT). All but the ultra-expensive 6.5 uppers are out of stock everywhere!! Hopefully by this time tomorrow, I will have won an auction for an AA 19.5" Hunter upper. Wish me luck!
Anyways, I've been lurking around the forums for some time and wanted to share my excitement...'cause the wife just don't understand...and also to thank everyone for all the great info you've taken the time to impart to others such as myself.
