Northern Virginia Roll Call

@EatSleepTacos wait you have ditch lights for sale? do you have link for them?

 

.77 gr? Lightest bullet EVAR!!!

I run a White Oak Armament upper on my Service Rifle competition gun.

 

I was giving them away for free but I don't think they'd work on a 3rd gen. It was some brackets and cheap $10 Amazon lights. I already found someone else that wanted them though

 

Lol yeah I want to get a 6.5 cm or a .300 win mag some day

 

oh okay. i didnt know that it mattered which gen for ditch lights but thats good to know. i was planning on getting some in the next month.

 

I'm not sure if it does! I'm just guessing.

 

do you have a brand you recommend though? also whats your friday look like? was gonna see if you could help me with that horn install.

 

My friday is actually free I think! It's supposed to rain though. And for brand I'm a fan of relentless fab

 

okay, well i'll keep an eye on the weather and check with you to see when would be good for friday. I get off work that morning so my only plan is to come home and sleep for bit first.

 

Cool, sounds good!

 

77 gr is heavy-ish for 5.56/.223. The joke is the extra decimal point you put in there. No such thing as a .77 gr bullet.

I have no interest in .300 WM. I'd like an AR-10 in 6.5 CM.

It doesn't matter for the actual ditch light. It matters for the mounting brackets. 2nd gen and 3rd gen brackets are different. You can get any light you want as long as you can mount it to the bracket.

 

Why not? my buddy has a custom built 300 win mag for long range shooting and he shoots 2,500 yards like its nothing!

 

I'm just in general not really interested in magnum rounds. Barrel life and powder consumption just aren't worth it to me. Also, finding anywhere to shoot something like that too it's full capacity is a bitch. When I was in NM, the local range was around 550 yd, there were multiple 1000 yd ranges within 60-90 minutes drive, or I could just load up and drive out into the desert on public land. Around here it's even harder.

Also, if I'm buying a gun, it typically has a purpose (hunting, competition, self defense, etc), and I don't have a purpose that requires a magnum round. I used a muzzleloader to hunt elk back in NM. With good shot placement, there's no need for a magnum round for elk and especially not for the tiny deer out here.

 

Got a little something something in the mail today for future projects.

 

Fair enough. For me to shoot distance I have to go to my buddies place in NY which is 6 hours away

 

I'll be headed to Fredericksburg on the 8th, i could meet you if you can head toward Culpeper

 

I think i could hit that just holding the crosshairs in the vicinity

Ive been looking at some 6.5s as well, one of my neighbors got one at the beginning of the year and started long range competitions. Said its the most accurate round hes ever used.

 

What time Sunday are you planning on packing up and going home?
