Bob Wright it is good to see you are doing good. My pick for a rifle would be a Savage 110-223, it's easy to find cases and reload and very good shooter at up to 300 yds. I did put a new scope on mine it's a 6x24 sniper scope and looking for a place to shoot it longer. The club I teach at now only has a 100 yd. range outside. If anyone is into pistol the 40 cal. is a good one to get, not the Glock, because those are out of spec. and the cases bulge unless you have a bulge buster on your reloading bench. The cops use 40's and when they qualify 2 times a year they just throw them out. The last time they did a qualification I got about 500 cases to reload. I got the S&W M&P 40 that I won and just trying some different loads for now. When I have range duty at the club the ar's always have trouble of some sort every time I am there. This last Saturday a bolt broke on a cops ar15 and had to tear it down to get the live case out so he can leave and try to get another one since it is the one that goes in his cop car. The steel ammo seams to jam in some ar's and not others. Building or buying a ar15 is almost the same price for a standard one. The Anderson ones do not need oiled and are hard to wear out and cost more for that. The S&W ar's are a good one and cost more too. Shaw Barrel is making their own now with the outside twist barrel for about $600. I did see it before it hit their store and it did look nice. I do like some other firarms too but this is just a few for now. Just to catch up on here in Nov. I did get certified as a Instructor for NRA in reloading because some other guys wanted to get there certs so I arranged it and took it too. I am also certified in some other areas too.
