Tear it up gunner. Good luck.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I rang some steel yesterday. Was a great day. My boss took a few of us out to a private range and we set up a freshly painted steel plate out at 400 yards. Just right for the AR10 308w and 168gr. Hornady match bullets. First 5 shots went into 2.5 inches, so I let my work buddies ring steel with my rifle after that. I was happy. Looks like this 308 was shooting a solid .6 moa (5 shot group) out to 400 yards anyhow.. I see other threads in the hunting rifle forums of guys talking about how their rifles are "1/2" guns. Then you read through their thread and they show you a couple cherry picked 3 shot groups. At least you guys here know it takes more than 1 or 2 3 shot groups to confirm your rifle is a "1/2" shooter ... When guys start threads like that, sometimes I like pulling out a pic like this: .....and saying, hell my rifle is a .189" shooter.... We all know that is BS, but you know what i'm talking about.. I can't wait to be able to shoot at my range or even the national forest here. There's still a ban on shooting until fire season is over. You can bet your azz, I'll play along in both these games you guys have going on, as soon as I'm able to. Just wanted to share a story of yesterday though, while I wait for the NF to open back up and for gunner to shoot this event. Damn, what's taking that guy so long. I hope he know's I was just giving him chit about that Nightforce scope.. Wish I had one, I'd use the hell out of it...

LOL, I got the brass sized and primed before dark last night, will get the ammo loaded sometime this weekend, [haven't checked the ever present HDL taped to the fridge door] Good shooting from you and the rifle above, I believe you have a winner, biggest obstacle for me will be the trigger, shooting the irons on this challenge will be cake, I shoot irons with my Sharps rifles and ring steel out to 500 yards all the time, running the buckhorn sliding barrel sights from 1 2 3 4 5 then 5 4 3 2 1 hundred is great fun on the gongs.

To get this straight, a rifle may sit on a bench top on it's bi-pod, but must be held against the shoulder with no rear bag?
Or do the directions mean no machine rest, lead sled rifle placement?

That 3 shot group was just a lucky group my friend. Part of the reason I generally run 5 or 10 shots on paper. In the above post, I'll bet some of you guys are wondering why I only put 5 shots on steel at 400 yards. Well, it's because my boss was bragging earlier about how he shot this 3" 5 shot group with his rem 700 300wm with berger VLD's on this plate set out at 400 yards. Well, I didn't know if I could top that with this rifle because I knew it generally shoots 1.6 moa 10 shot groups. And knowing exactly what certifiable was talking about in another thread, when he said, "10 shots is a helluva different ballgame", I decided to just try and match his 3" 5 shot group. I think both my boss and myself were impressed with the capability of this AR10. I know I'm pretty much sold on this rifle.

In my situation the limiters would be mandated by regulation to hold no more than 5 rounds. Hell I can’t even carry a Glock, 1911 or any semi auto other than 22LR that holds more than 5 rounds while deer hunting.

New regulations in Oklahoma lifted the magazine limit we had on 22 cal semi autos. 30 caliber never had one but some think it applied to all semi autos.
