    I'm starting to look at Sigs. Preferably concealable

    I don't know how concealable it is but I handled a P227 a couple years ago and was damn impressed.

    I feel the same way. There seems to be a lot going for the 6.5 but the 308 is so damn versatile.

    I also never have a problem finding .308 ammo. 6.5 is only at a few spots around me
    That brings up a big factor for me: availability of ammo. If I can't find ammo at convenient places local to me, I probably won't buy anything chambered for it.

    The 308 Win. is a capable round in capable hands.

    That DPMS is supposed to be the best of the best in AR-10's.

    Good call and congrats on the deer.

    Thanks bro. What other AR10s do you think are good quality? Thinking about getting another one down the road. Off the top of my head I remember hearing good stuff on Midwest Industries AR10!
    Just read an article about a Daniel Defense AR-10 and LWRCI's Compact SASS submission to the military trial. Both look like top notch rifles. The LWRCI shot 1/2 MOA groups. It costs over 4k.

    I would imagine both of those are a pretty penny. LWRC and DD are top end manufactures. I love the DPMS G2. I am just thinking of adding another rifle to the collection without breaking the bank. Probably won't be for another year so I'll have time to do some research.

    If current market trends continue, you'll have a lot more options next year.

    Why the need for 80+ guns, 10,000 roads and gun powder?? Is that your specific question?

    Yup. I'd hate to live next door to this guy specifically in the event his house caught on fire but you know, 2nd amendment and all.

    Guess you would have to get his take. I'm sure there are "gun people" out there that could pick out 80 or more guns that they would like to own. The 10,000 rounds don't alarm me at all. I know people with far less guns that are close to that number. For this guy it comes down to about 125 rounds for each gun.

    I m in the midst of rebuilding a world war 2 model 1903 Springfield. I just need a new trigger guard. So close!
    Any more progress on the rebuild? 

    I am thinking about doing up a Remington 700. It would be my first project of that nature. 

    I'm interested in others experiences, specifically whether or not they felt it was worth the time and cost involved.

    Nice! Glad you finally got a 10/22. The Garand looks beautiful too. One of my shooting buddies has a Garand and his really groups well. I can't help but marvel at the engineering and build quality when he brings it to the range.

    This thread goes to show you how guns can be positive and not everyone that has one is an idiot or wants to commit mass murder. 

    Please go back to the AMT thread with your agenda, thanks.

    I'll reply to you over there, not here.
