Went shooting today
Went with my friend Nick back to B-Tactical in Caddo Mills and worked on zeroing the scope at 100 yards. Here's the results:
This is my AR-15 with Weaver Classic Extreme 2.5x10 56MM scope. The lower is a New Frontier (polymer), and the upper is a 5.56 stainless from SOTA

So baldeagle, now that you own an AR and have shot it, what do you think? Would you buy/build others? Is it an addiction yet?

Nice vid! My Pops taught me that method many moons ago. He and my Dad would argue about it, mostly about wasting money on ammo.AndyC wrote:I've zeroed this way for years, but just in case:

He's owned an AR for about 3 years now.

I could do that, if I could see the holes.
As it was, I had to walk 100 yards to look at the target to see where I was hitting - and I was enjoying shooting too much to stop.

Re: Went shooting today
I'm retired, so money for new weapons is not as readily available as it once was. I bought this rifle for the zombie apocalypse. So, I probably won't be buying another. But who knows? Things could change. One thing's for sure. I'll never catch up with you or Beiruty.The Annoyed Man wrote:So baldeagle, now that you own an AR and have shot it, what do you think?

Re: Went shooting today
I'm getting senile! I didn't realize that. I thought that this was his first range trip with an AR. Well, they say the mind is the second thing to go. Don't remember what the first was......Pawpaw wrote:The Annoyed Man wrote:So baldeagle, now that you own an AR and have shot it, what do you think? Would you buy/build others?

That's okay... I wouldn't have remembered either, except that I helped him get sighted in the first time.The Annoyed Man wrote:I'm getting senile! I didn't realize that.
