I will admit...alcohol and friends were involved in the purchase but..nothing ventured nothing gained right?

Panther Arms LR-308 I pick it up in july when I go home for leave....quite excited.
It needs a longer scope though...suggestions?

It joins an XD40 and a currently malfunctioning Dan Wesson .357 magnum.

congrats on the new rife. I personally prefer iron sights to scopes any day.

Congrats. With a 308 would want something for long range.

Friends have a big scope on their AR-10 and Rem 700, it was only $200 but it works great. Shot it on the Rem 700 this weekend. But it is also huge with a sunshade on it.

Agreed,with me I carried a modded m60a1,any thing that added extra weight had to go, I got tired of just walking around,let alone returning fire,running and thes bs we go thru. What I want is a H&K g36c .fell in love with the weapon at a range in texas,the 3 round burst so smooth,4 groups from the hip

Oh I'm most definitely selling the laser. That foregrip apparently turns into a bipod so I'll see how well it works but I have a feeling it'll be chintzy because I recognize that style of grip from my buddy's Mossberg 500 and it blows.

If it's a real grip pod, they're sturdy and loved.

I'd like an AR-10 at some point...but alas, I want an M1A as well. So many options so little money...
