Hello from Afghanistan. I've been lurking around the forums and finally took the plunge. I mostly signed up because as soon as I get home I'm building my first precision, long range gun (deployment gift to myself). However, all my friends who are into long range stuff are spread across the country, and I won't have anyone local to shoot with. I've been a regular at Bodcau Range in Haughton since moving to LA, and will be looking for somewhere to learn the precision ropes when I get back (Long Range Alley looks to be the most likely choice). While I grew up shooting, only in the last couple years have I gotten more serious about it.
Aside from the hand-me-down rifles/pistols that rarely leave the cabinet here's what I've got now:
* FNH SCAR 16S w/ EoTech 553 & 3x magnifier (although those optics are currently on my M4 here)
* Springfield Armory 1911 (.45)
* Baretta PX4 Storm (9mm) w/ Trijicon Night Sights
* FNH Five-Seven
Since I've been in Afghanistan I've completed my Gun Trust and will be using this deployment as the wait time for a suppressor for my .22LR guns and the Five-Seven.
Here's the specs on the Precision Rifle I'm building (feel free to try to talk me out of or into anything):
* Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD (.308 / 20" barrel w/ 10" twist)
* Nightforce 8-32x56 NXS w/ MOAR reticle (Nightforce mounts/rings)
* J. Allen JAE-700 Stock (already ordered to shorten the wait time)
* GG&G Heavy Duty XDS Bipod
