M14 vs Quarter

[cancer]

After a couple months, I finally got out to shoot off a couple rounds out of my new (to me) M14 the other day. Man, is it a tack-driver! One of my brother's friends in the infantry reserves was so impressed by the M14 that he wedged a quarter half way into a palette and put up a challenge to me to hit it. I did this with just one round right after dusk at 50 metres (private range at the back of my farm), no chance for stranglers behind the targets).

The first time I shot this M14 I only had a handful of 180s. The groupings were about 2" at 25 metres. This time I was using Remington Express Core-Lokt 150gr rounds. Laser beams!!

Gosh, if I aimed for the heart and lungs I would've had to miss completely!

just outta curiosity, norinco or springfield?

any upgrades to the rifle if its a norinco?

We usually shoot'em at 100 yds minimum............then golfballs at 185 yds.

Norinco made
- USGI synthetic stock
- Badger Ordnance NM spring & guide
- Flashhider, USGI or NM (not sure).
- TSA 3-point steel mount and rings
- Harris bipod

I didn't have 100 yrds to shoto them at. 50 meters was as far back as I could go. Granted the unit conversion gets me a little closer.

We usually shoot'em at 100 yds minimum............then golfballs at 185 yds.

Try .38 Spl Cases at 200 meters........and you only get ONE round!!!!


or punch the center out od a loony at 100 meters.

SKBY.

I think punching the centre out of a loonie at 100 meters would be great fun. I might need a better scope though, I only have a bushnell 3-9x sport model. Even at 50 meters, the crosshairs were approaching the same width as the quarter when looking through the scope.
