If this is in the wrong place, my apologies.
Onward;
I am looking for a big favor from somone with an AR10-style rifle to shoot/fondle in VA or northern NC.
As you can see from the title, things have changed a little. Over the last year I have done a good deal of research on everything from Rem 700 variants to Accuracy International and Desert Tactical Arms rifles.
After some hard thinking, I have decided to forego the AI's and DTA's in favor of a Semi-auto AR-10 style platform. As badly as I would like to have an AI or DTA (and by bad, I mean ravenously foaming at the mouth bad
), the limited use I would get out of one, coupled with the prohibitively high cost of literally everything related to them sort of negates any reason I would have for owning one.
An AR10 would be much more realistic for my uses, as well as on the cost side, not to mention weapon familiarity, and being more of a multi use weapon.
So with that out of the way....
Here’s what I’m looking for:
<span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">
Semi .308:</span></span>
(1)-LMT MWS .308 (preferred)
(2)-GAP-10
If you happen to have one of each, that would be even better....
Other semis I would be interested in would be an SR-25.
I also had an OBR on the list, but took it off, as I recently was able to get ahold of and shoot a PredatAR, and from what I've read so far, overall there doesn't seem to be a huge difference between the two- however, if you wanted to bring one along for comparison, I wouldn't say no, as it's still very much on the list.
Of course, if an AI AE or AW, or a DTA SRS in basic .308 just so happens to show up in the general area and the owner is feeling generous, I wouldn't turn down a chance to get some time on it. I KNOW there's at least one DTA floating around VA....
As usual, I would be more than willing to drive a reasonably ridiculous distance to meet up.
If we can get to a range and actually shoot the thing that would be most preferred. I will pay my own range fees (if any), and can provide some of my own (match) ammo for anything in .308. Anything NOT in .308, I can chip in some money for whatever I shoot.
If you don't have access to a thousand yard range [/sarcasm], don't worry about it- even a basic 100 yards will be fine (seeing as how 100 is more or less the basic standard for accuracy testing anyway...).
>If there is not any personally owned in the area, does anyone know of a shop that carries them, or has one in stock?
I am located:
45 min. from Farmville
45 min. from South Hill
45 min. from Blackstone
15 min. from Keysville
3 hrs. from VA Beach
2.5 +/- hrs. from Raleigh, NC
~3 hrs. from Moyock, NC
For Richmond area:
Aprox. 1- 1.5 Hrs. from the Hull street area as well as the
Chesterfield Towne Center (Mall on Midlothian Tpke., 20-30 min. from Short Pump area).
Yes, I realize I'm the FNG here, but I have done similar meetups with members from another reputable forum, so I'm not some nut that's going to steal your guns...
