This is my latest toy. POF P308 w/ 20" barrel (but soon going to swap it for a 14.5" barrel) with NP3 coating. The BCG of this thing is super slick and literally requires no lubrication. It takes 5 mins to clean this because you just give the NP3 a quick wipe and it's super clean.
It also has a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x MRAD scope and a Geissele Super Dynamic Enhanced Trigger.
I've been able to shoot sub-MOA with this thing, but the ballistics tests show that the 14.5" barrel was shooting .038" (low) to .500" (high) with Hornady 155gr TAP for 3-shot groups from an iron sled, which is why I'm swapping it. Obviously, there's a HUUUUUUGE difference from shooting prone w/ a bi-pod or even bench shooting w/ sandbags versus strapping it in an iron sled. Unlike Eric, I'm a totally shitty shooter without cheating w/ the sled or locking the thing down with a bi-pod and bags.
Shooting sub-MOA naturally is tough, even with top equipment. So, I'm pretty impressed w/ Eric's groupings. Since my
THIRD back surgery in January, I haven't played much pool because I can't handle the discomfort I'm experiencing when getting into my "usual" stance. I've had to make a stance adjustment to be way more upright and I've found it's almost like rewinding my progress about 8 years.
Losing to people who I know I would never have lost to ever is just disheartening, so I took up precision shooting w/ ARs. I happened to pick an AR-10 platform out of the gate and now I'm fuggin' disheartened because I'm pumping out bullets that are $1.50/round... which is worse than losing to people who can't run 2 balls. So once I get the new 14.5" barrel installed and this thing is dialed-in, I'm gonna sit it in the closet until I figure out how to load my own.
If any AZers are in Central PA and load their own and want to give me some lessons, I'd love to trade for pivot-aiming lessons or I'll pay hourly for the knowledge.
Here's my Puşca Semiautomată cu Lunetă (PSL)
This is almost identical to the Dragunov Sniper Rifle, but all the parts are proprietary and non-interchangeable with the Dragunov. Mine has a 3-9x42 POSP scope, which is nowhere near enough to shoot precision at a long distance, but that's going to change if I can find a 24x side-mounted scope for this thing. They have adapters, but I don't trust those things. It shoots 7.62x54R rounds.
This is from yesterday's session:
This is my first time shooting w/ the 9x scope (it comes with a 4x scope that's shit). Everything is in Russian, so it took me a while to sight it in. The blue area was my "guessing," and the yellow was my final 5 shots once I thought it was as good as I could get it (all from the sled, no ability here).
I've read on forums that this rifle isn't super accurate, but I'm not quite sure. I'm confident that it's capable of very very tight groups if I could see the target better (better than 9x).
I also have an LWRC, TAVOR, some cheapo bolt action 30-06 rifle that's way accurate, and a Ruger.
Finally, I have a 3000mW focusable blue hand-held laser:
^^^ This thing is basically a real-life light saber.
I heard these things are illegal but f-it, if the gov't has time to come after me, they're not spending enough time going after real criminals. It's technically a weapon and will instantly blind whoever you point it at, it's def not designed to point shit out during Powerpoint presentations. If a grizzly bear is coming at ya and you shoot it with a pistol, you might piss it off more (unless you have a great caliber/bullet). If you hit it in the face with this thing, it will wish it hadn't come at ya because everything would go all-white and then all-black for him visually while you set its hair on fire.
When you turn this on at night time, it's NOTHING short of impressive. I remember the first time I turned it on, a neighbor a few doors down screamed, "WTF IS THAT?!?!" It literally looks like a Star Wars light saber, except instead of the beam being a few feet long, it's miles long. In fact, I could stand at the front of Mandalay Bay Casino and shoot it to the top of the Stratosphere and if it doesn't blind anyone, people would think they were in an alien tractor beam.
I always get the question, "Why the F do you have that?"
Answer: You can start fires with it, cut/lase through shit, tremendous stopping power defensively-speaking and on a clear night, you can see the beam from outer space and it's just REALLY cool as long as you treat it with total respect and never point it at something other than the sky unless you're wearing safety glasses. If you're not careful, it can reflect back at ya and blind your dumb ass -- so you must treat it like a loaded weapon at all times.
Here's what it looked like when I shot it through some snow:
promise to call you the moment I get my gun back.
