[QUOTE="db-2, post: 387110, member: 4743"] In 69 i was at Fort Lewis basic being introduce to a M-14. Fell in love with that gun and it became an extension of my body. It became a want but not a need so never did get one until my son bought me one a month ago. In training we were require to shoot 3 rounds under a nickel at 20-30 meters using iron sites. Some did it right away and some never did get it done. For me it took about five times. Had some bullets so did shoot it to make sure it works and if the sites were close. Then bought a scope mount and 100 rounds. Had high profile rings to put on and have order low profile ones. Used iron sites to set scope site. Drove out on gravel, stop, put target out at 30 big steps using end gate for support and five bullets. First two were high so next three i shot at bottom of red not sure why and did shoot rapidly. You can see the results. Have a large nickel form my boyhood in the 50s that are in a box of mine to compare with. Goal is to shoot five rounds under a nickel at 50 yards with scope this summer in the warmth and a decent rest. I feel the rifle and bullets can do it but have doubts with me. Son got me a M-1 about four years ago with 200 rounds. Need to order 100 more for the 7.62. Should have enough for my concerns of Canada coming down or Mexico coming up. What do you think? db [/QUOTE]
