Troubled m14s/305 for sale?

[LordEvilPepper]

My buddy took his box stock 2009 poly as his main rifle on our Queen Charlotte Islands/Haida Gwaii deer hunt last week. Conditions were extreme, wet windy, sandy, muddy, mossy, rain forest jungle. His untweaked rifle was making reliable headshots out to 75 yards. The rifle groups 2.5 inches at 100.
If you get a "lemon" and have bought it new, return the damn thing. Why beat yourself up trying to turn a lemon into an orange? A non functioning rifle constitutes a warranty return in my opinion.
For the most part, in 5 years of working on these professionally, I'd say less that 5% of the rifles I've handled were true lemons

who warrenties a norc? as is, no returns once fired is genral policy. Even canada Ammo seems to pick and chose who's rifle they take back, they didn't take mine.

I sold my defunct norc to someone for $200, full disclosure, they had the parts required to fix it on hand (i would need around $700 plus gunsmithing to fix it)

Every norc I have ever seen has had a problem, or has developed one post haste. the best one I have seen only required a small torque to correct the indexing and put out a 3 inch group at 100. it's not a cheap plinker by any means,
Every one of my sks (rusian) cost less then half as much, are problem free, and genraly put out a respectible group in compared to most untweaked m305 (newest one does a solid 3.5-4 moa with surpluss).

I have a cheap scope mount. now I might get a decent one, going to tighten up the gas system next, maybe in the spring.

Try the CASM...good value IMO

Best on the market is either a Smith or the ARMS 18.

 

[NavyCuda]

I love my ARMS 18

Man what kind of surpluss are you using? Those rusians are generaly pretty good but 3.5 means you got a good shooter

nice set up. I mine is a M14S bought in 96 from Milarm. SAI 4th gen mount with a Bushnell 3200 10x40 in a USGI stock. I like those rings, mine are cheapo weavers

I would totally rock the 3200 10x40 but those tactical turrets look retarded and the scope isn't illuminated. I don't get how a scope can be tactical if it's useless at night, same thing with the super sniper. There's the bushnell elite 3-12x40 IR Mildot but it's like 900 bucks and again, adjustment turrets that could easily be half the size.

Tactical-schmactical, but the Bushnell 10x40 is a good scope for the 305, affordable and holds zero.
