DPMS 1'st target from the range

[Finster]

Well, this is my first target from the range after braking in my DPMS .308 Oracle. The two shots in the white are cold barrel shots then, I started pulling them in. This is my first 25 rounds. Quite a few cut holes. This is with British Radway Green 7.62X51 NATO at 50 yards, no scope just a red dot. As I said, it's my first 25 rounds after brake in, SO BE KIND! I damn near can't even see this target at 50 yards. I'm happy with it and the group will tighten after I get used to this rifle, let alone using better ammo. From a bench by the way.

Yep. Good ammo & some more trigger time should tighten up the group for you. There are a lot of distractions when you take a new gun to the range for the first time. How large is the blue area of that target?

Not sure, I can't find my tape measure. That is why I put the quarter in there. At 50 yards 1'st time shooting, with no scope, at my age, I'm proud of it. I'm looking at a tactical aspect. It will get the job done on the zombie hoards!!!!

"At your age?" Yer just a pup. Nice shooting sounds like a fun gun.

LOL... I'm no spring chicken. In fact, I'm probably older than most on this site. I could tell you all but it is a National secret!

Surplus ammo, no magnification, and a new to you rifle, that's fine shooting.

No worries. You'll close it up the more you shoot it.

Just looked up - Does that have a 16" barrel? Wow, I bet that throws a fireball, and makes some serious noise. Most 308 ammo is loaded for longer barrels, lots to be gained by handloading for the shorter barrel. Looks like it would be a nice rifle.

Hows the trigger? Long and creepy GI? Do the 308 AR's use the same triggers as 5.56 Ar's?

Where in Lawrence Co? I used to live on a farm in the boonies of Pulaski twp, moved to central PA 20 years ago.

That's a quarter? Duhh! Now my age is showing.

Yep, 16" barrel. I really like the trigger, not a super long pull and pretty smooth considering it's factory with no tweaking. I can't compare t to a an AR. I've never shot one. It's my first tactical. I'm in New Castle City Trying to move out of here though. I'm looking for a house with some land at a reasonable price. I would like to build my own range when I find something.

Yes, pick your AR trigger of choice and drop it in.
