    Wow. I'm overwhelmed by the response to my wee little post. Thank you, all.
    I'll see if I can post photos tomorrow.

    @Sideshow Bob: You are most generous. I will gladly take you up in your offer to help sight this puppy in. I'll PM you once my online order of ammo is delivered, and gladly cover your expenses for a shoot! Thank you.

    Yeah...don't take 2 years to make your next post! Get involved with the forum and learn from some genuinely talented people here.

    Seriously good choice on a first rifle and welcome to the dark side.

    OP Delivers



    It's not the very newest M&P15 package. This has a separate trigger guard as opposed to the integrated one. I'm not sure what other differences there are. If I made a mistake in not buying the very latest SKU, please let know the error of my ways!

    That's a Mamba sling I picked up from a surplus vendor on the cheap. I'm not convinced I like it yet. I will have to relocate the front swivel to the side of the hand guard before I will pass judgement. It comes dangerously close to interfering with the safety in its current configuration - but I do like how easily it transitions to a shooting aid with the sliding front piece. I can hold the rifle up using primarily my skeleton and it feels very natural.

    I just Googled the Pueblo Tactical Rifle and was not disappointed. I can't believe I hadn't heard of this. Thanks.

    If my puppy isn't ready to shoot, would you still recommend this event for general socializing? I *might* be able to get the wife to let me go, if I can get out of this Halloween party she wants me to attend.

    Definately recommended. Hoser may let you zero before the match. Shoot him a PM. I'm heading down after work on Sunday morning. PM me if you want a ride.

    For cheap ammo, one of the best deals around right now is this one:

    http://sgammo.com/product/pmc/limite...es-order-limit

    PMC .223 for $0.32/round + shipping. Shipping from sgammo is cheap and fast since they're in Oklahoma.

    They also have PRVI 55gr M193 for $0.33/rd.
