Range Report

I didnt know they ever did a conversion to the SAW. Was that to the 7.62 ? My buddy was a machine gunner in the Marines and he carried the M-60 Echo 3, he absolutely swears by that thing. I guess the SAW is a little smaller and I would assume lighter and I can see having it use the same round as the M4 to streamline things but the 7.62 provides a bit more punch out there.

No offense to the marines out there ( not there fault) but they have the oldest most out of date stuff. The first time I bumped into them over seas only the squad leaders had night vision WTF. The SAW is Squad Automatic Weapon shoots the nato 5.56 and comes in two barrel sizes which we only ever used the short one. It went threw two very limited conversions and only two units were issued the final one shooting the 7.62 round 99% of people serving in the military won't even know the SAW went threw any changes at all in fact I laugh because you will bump into people all the time starring at our weapons wondering what half the stuff is or thinking we paid for the upgrades. LOL



PS: I kinda like the look to the software upgrade.

He wouldn't take offense as he was in during the late 80s - early 90s. He always complains about not having any cool gear, NVG, radios, even knee pads !! LOL

That's funny send it I'll sell it and get some jeep parts LOL. I've had my hands on plenty of those even gold plated ones LOL. Still take a M4 with the small round over that thing.

Like Sal i'm not an AK fan either. I give it an A+ for being durable, I give it a C+ in the fun to shoot department and for accuracy. That being said I do like my SKS for reliability (same round as AK but different rifle completely and made in China). I have an AR that is great to shoot and accurate. It's still not my favorite but i give it an A+ in the Fun to shoot and accuracy departments and maybe a B+ in the reliability just cause it does need more attention to keep it running smooth. My favorite rifle that i've got is my 700 Remington SPS tactical (20" bull barrel) chambered in .308. With the SPS stock you can shoot it all day long and not take a beating. Being bolt action it's not a fast shooter but it hits it's mark every time. I hand load all my cartridges for it so they're pretty consistant. (even with the plain red box federal the first time i went to the range it Grouped .75" at 100yds) I give it a B in the fun to shoot category being a bolt action but an A++ in acuracy.

I took it to the range in the spring with about 6 of my co workers and let them try it out. We didn't end up shooting more than 15 rounds because it didn't offer any challenge. We brought about 20 apples and a few melons to shoot just to see some things explode. When we were shooting the .308 we used only apples at 150 yards. It's sighted in for 200 so i told everyone to put it about a centimeter high of the middle of the apple. No one had ever shot my rifle before and not a single apple was missed on the first shot by anyone. Everyone went back to shooting the AR15 and other semi autos for the fun factor promptly afterwards.

Anyone ever try and FN FS2000? I think that'll be my next purchase down the road.
