Swiss Arms range report. *updated*

Get a single point sling!

Tried a few things and love my Galil setup!! The SAN has sling mounting similar to the Galil. Humped through the bush with it for a few hours, very comfortable carry with the wide strap.

Here is the same rig on a 7.62 Galil (sadly not mine).
They started doing this so the hooks would not make noise against the rifle. Later slings for Galil came with loops on them. Good setup on the Swiss as the paracord does not mar the finish and keeps the hook away from the rifle.

I use MASH clips with the elastic on them so they don't rattle. Attached to a Vickers BFG sling. I wish I had a decent camera to post it. I'll see what I can borrow.

American Eagle Tactical? Is this stuff new? Any good? Never seen it before.

It's so tactical the rounds have rails.

I thought the way it was named, maybe it was a new budget cheaper grade of the regular craptastic American Eagle

278m with irons? No acogtacticoolreddotsniperscopezoomtastic?

Thanks for showing why this rifle kicks the bum of the mattel toys, when operated by a skilled individual!!

Good shooting. Where do you get those targets?

At gun shows

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. I'll run off a pair of 10 shot groups @100 next time out with the same ammo since it performs so well.

Don't expect much from RUAG from TSE you want GP90 not the 223 ruag tse sells its not accurate in these rifles.

That explains it! After hearing how good that stuff was supposed to be it's not the most accurate out of my CG.

I'm reloading and getting the most accuracy out of Hornady bullets in the 60 gr range. Definately more accurate than most off the shelf ammo.

Good shooting with aperture. Try the UMC 55grs, i find my AR shoots tighter than the Black you were using and they were alot cheaper 9.70@20 from Lebaron than Winchester.

No doubt that it would sell just because of the ninja black tactical box!.

I do find it much more consistent than the redbox stuff though.

I did this on my first time out with my SAN carbine and the ninja AE:

These should come with 1913 rails on the box too!.

J996, have you had a chance to shoot it more (I hope?)

I have gotten some 2" five round groups at 200m with it since then. I'm used to shooting this rifle now and am very happy with it

I'll keep an eye out for some UMC 55's to try out.

Target Sports is selling it for under $400 per thousand... i dont remember the exact price though as it has been quite some time since i was forced to pay MSRP for ammo..........

Nice shooting by the way.

The Galil camo looks like Rhodesian Army pattern.
