Nuzzler brass ain't worth saving.

The scope and rings were hanging in the safe so I just used what I had. ![[Linked Image]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1024x768q90/921/HrtN43.jpg) You didn't have an AR, but just happened ta have *those* rings hangin in your safe? Scary.

I had bought them for my sons 15-22 a couple of years ago and he preferred the mbus sights over a scope. So yes, they were just hanging around in the gun safe. I’m good at 20 questions, keep going as I like playing this game with guys that assume. Oh, the scope came off of another rifle last year that was replaced with a Weaver Grand Slam Tactical. Just in case that was your second question. Oops, I guess it was 10 months ago. Rings look similar? https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/12804145/s-w-mp-15-22#Post12804145

Nice lookin rifle ...
The CMC was a good move and the improvement will be substantial. Get some fiocchi 50gr Vmax and you’ll have a much better idea of how it will shoot. That stuff can be had for under $20/50 and can’t be beat for the price
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...?
She's gone shootin..

That stuff can be had for under $20/50 and can’t be beat for the price I'm planning to pick some up, as well as some 75-77gr to see how it likes both heavy and light bullets.

Well my boys finally convinced me to buy one, though they don't know it yet. I picked up a PSA upper kit in .223 wylde with one of their stripped lowers and hammered it out on my desk at work (it was slow).  Should be a fun little plinker! My oldest was really wanting to step up from the 15-22, so for less than $450 I figured why not. The scope and rings were hanging in the safe so I just used what I had. That looks great. I have the exact one I'm guessing, although I have not gone at it yet. First AR and jumped on a sale that looked halfway decent. $49 for the stripped lower. Will need to put it together soon.

I just got back from the range. Wanted to try out the new CMC trigger. Much better than the original one! 10 shot groups definitely open up in the last few shots, which kinda sucked, but better ammo certainly made a difference. 100yd 20F no wind Fiocchi 50gr .223 VMAX ![[Linked Image]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1024x768q90/924/08xE8W.jpg) Magtech 77 OTM 5.56 ![[Linked Image]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1024x768q90/924/dVE7Cr.jpg) MEN 55 FMJ 5.56 shotgun pattern ![[Linked Image]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1024x768q90/921/dRZoeY.jpg)

ammo is generally important. Mexican match can be made if you have access to free/cheap ball, but those days are long gone generally speaking.
Quality of the projectile is the important part and one reason I won't run a 75 bthp just really hard, while the old 75 amax you could run as hard as you dared in a 223.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I really should start reloading, but I’m not ready to commit. Next up will be some hunting rounds. Thinking 62 tsx, 62 fusion, and 64 pp to see what one groups best.
