THE CZickness LII....Autumn or Fall? No matter...season is right for a CZ!

[ChrisK]

I keep thinking I need a rifle in .308. Don’t know why, I don’t hunt, all my rifle shooting is target and have an AR15 set up for CQ but with everything going n feel I need a battle rifle that could reach out if needed.

Saw this and was thinking something like this or maybe a SA M1A?

Browning BAR Mk3 .308

The Browning BAR is a classic Battle Rifle from Browning. A great grab for any shooter or collector!

Gun fund is low and it would be a new caliber to stock. I go back and forth that if I need anything heavier than my AR I am truly F****d.

Pros and cons? What say ye hive mind?

I found that my MK12 Mod 0 running 77gr. OTM rounds fits my longer range needs. I don’t need another caliber to stock or reload.

Waking up in Grand Blanc, MI. Next stop, Bay City Sugar then London, KY. Gonna be a good $ day. Lots of driving, very little foolin around.

You're all over, I lived in Grand Blanc for awhile, grew up around that area. Stop in to Williams Gunsight off 69, nice LGS.

Up too late last night this morning, one too many sips of scotch and still took til early this am to get to sleep.

I was thinking along the lines of long range centerfire, but also something thay could be a battle rifle in a SHTF scenario. Could probably save a bunch of $$ and just get something like a PSA AR10 or Ruger SFAR. The BAR of M1A just sounded cool to me but both are fairly heavy rifles and an AR platform would likely be more than adequate.

Now back to reality

Got me a turnip to go with summer sausage and cheese for lunch.

Pretty sure I heard a squirrel MMA fight or something. It was nuts!

That light weight Ruger intrigues me.

I have a Magpul Bipod with a M-LOC mount that I'm going to part with. If you guys have a interest let me know by PM.

After some side by side shooting I think what I refer to as old ugly is going to be the odd man out of my compacts.

Probably has the best trigger but I hate rails so it’s not beating the compact and I like my p01 omega a little better to match my 75b omega

Has tru glo tfx sights. Will be hitting classifieds soon for sale or trade. 450

I wonder how well it will hold up over time to .308

Packed it in. Back home now. Gotta shower and get ready to go to the Halloween party with daycare kids.

I like .308. It let's me work at longer ranges where wind and other factors come into play, but keeps costs reasonable. Most range trips focusing on .308 are less than 20 rounds. There's a lot of satisfaction in getting cold bore hits at 400 yards. .308 can get you comfortably out to 800 yards with skill needed.

I'm sitting out front having just finished a good cigar coupled with the blue label Nikka whiskey. This is a good time to stay away from GB.

Cut wood until I tired out today, which wasn't long. Gardener is watching me like a hawk.

Now enjoying a gin and tonic.

Still on meds right now, so no enjoying any drinks this evening. I did make a trip out to Total Wine and picked up over $100 of booze in preparation for when I can drink again...

Did the same. I finally got the road through the woods opened up. It’s been closed since the beginning of June.

Lots of pain, but I’m pouring bourbon on it.

Bourbon is good.

Ugly first half for Bama, but still a win.
I haven't been watching too many other teams this season, and I hate to say it, but I don't think this team can go the distance this year. First half of games looks bad/slow to start with not good protection for the QB and not enough taking what the defense will give them. That said, they seem to be able to make some serious adjustments at half time.

I'm tending a fading campfire. Still a bit windy, so I'm going to pour the water on it in a bit.
Never had mashed potatoes at campfire before, but it doesn't need chewing, so it's on my menu !

Everything tastes better in the woods.
Or around a campfire.
Mashed potatoes is a backpacking staple for me, but not for my main backpacking friend, he saw where the flakes came from and refuses to eat instant potatoes.

If anybody’s still up, Michigan won again, handily.

The 109th hardest schedule out of 133.

Who did you play? The Michigan State coed faculty team?



November will be a better test. Well, maybe after Purdue….
