I want to get to his skill level
but I do not want to be as obese as he was
giant beer belly
sad thing is; with my SPR (18", SS, Heavy profile ML Gas) AR, I can shoot better followups than with my fucking super expensive 338 lap
First shot I'm generally dead on; everything after that is usually offset because I keep fucking flinching like a pussy
I take it that you have an armory?
not really
aw
I have 4 distinct rifles (AR w/ .458 socom 16", AR w/ 223 wylde 18", Savage FVSR 22lr, and my sako TRG-42 in 338 lap)
and one pistol
The .458 was just a workaround; I didn't want to need to ditch my standard cap kits so I re-labeled them all to 458
Also; I did want to buy a 45/70, and this is just as good
I don't really have anything milsurp, although I might get ahold of a M1A in 308 so I can go 2 gun
I didn't want to go and get some rifle that would get me halfway to 2000Y
so I wasn't really attracted to 6.5CM
Would a clockwork or otherwise heavily built trigger mechanism fix the bullpup trigger issue?
So that there's no metal flex involved or shenanigans from shitty trigger linkages
yeah
there are a handful of good designs
some of them rely on sear based pin drops
i.e. the trigger group is still in the handguard, but the pin assy is linked with a long L bracket that catches on the sear
The only thing that has bothered me about bullpups is a assessablity of the magazine. If there was a way to do a mag change while keeping the barrel pointed at what i was engaging it would be more appealing.
It might just be something to practice but i dont think i have every seen some able to do this
Maybe it is just because all i have every really trained with was an M4
@DanConway
I guess that's the problem.
If you find someone who only trained in bullpups, they might reach a similar conclusion
there are a few tactics
I feel the setbacks generally outweigh the advantages from a civilian perspective
in a bolt gun it's not too much of a pain
@DanConway Maybe top feeding LMGs can make a comback in bullpup form? No need for a decent trigger pull on those
doubtful
I think the AR style platform will see material changes for about the next 30-40 years until there's some breakthrough
from the GPMG perspective, it's gonna be all belts
from the SAW-style things; it'll probably just be standard rifle body + different barrel + larger mags
surefire's 60's are pretty nice
The Marines have gone back to sort of a WWII style LMG with the IAR.
Interesting that we and the russians (RPK) came to similar conclusions on firepower
I heard you talkin shit on creedmoor lol
Where?
Idk maybe I misread it haha
I dunno if I would call the IAR "ww2 style"
