I've been working my SOCOM-16 into 3-Gun competition, but I haven't wrung it out at long range yet. Perhaps your next boomstick display could include some beefier boomsticks?Cowboy Blobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13880979084783592543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1129262698677920872005-10-14T00:04:00.000-04:002005-10-14T00:04:00.000-04:00" Real nice, but they'd be even nicer if they were..." Real nice, but they'd be even nicer if they were 6.5mm and had a gas piston."<BR/><BR/>Those three carbines are the current houseguns of a career USAF senior NCO, the retail sales manager of a Type 7/SOT FFL, and an ex-Army NCO/lifelong shooter/Class 3 owner. If any one of us had wanted a gas piston upper or an oddball chambering, we could have had it. Why would three people with over a century of riflery experience between them opt for such an inferior system for guns to which they trust their lives?Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1129244261697815692005-10-13T18:57:00.000-04:002005-10-13T18:57:00.000-04:00BTW, nice HK91 at the armory...
