I want to take a minute to thank many of the folks who post and share so much knowledge here on M4Carbine. I read a lot, and don't post a ton. I figure there are many folks who have more knowledge than me, and I try to read everything, and only post if I really have something to offer. I have recently been really getting into longer range rifle shooting. Long range is a subjective term I know, but lets say 550 yards plus. I am currently shooting a BCM SPR'ish rifle. I have the stainless 1/8 twist, rifle length gas system, Larue 13" rail, BCM gunfighter comp. I am using a Larue mount holding a Vortex 2.5-10x32 glass. I have been shooting almost weekly since I bought this rig. I have been a LEO for 17 years, and a firearms instructor for about 10 years. That job is great, and rewarding, but it does not mean you can shoot long range rifle. We are handgun/shotgun based, and patrol carbine trained. I have really enjoyed learning to apply all the fundamentals I already know to long range rifle. I set a new personal best today. I was getting very consistant, 36-40 hits out at 650 yards. That's 19 MOA of dial up. 136" of drop. I have learned a TON about equipment, ammo, glass, hold over, wind reading etc. on this site.
I would say to anyone wanting to learn, read a bunch, then read some more. Thanks to the people like Iraqgunz, MarkM, Pappabear, and many more.
I've rattled long enough. This site is fantastic, and the knowledge base that is here is amazing. I am glad to be a part of the community and will contribute when I can.
