Its a nice day and I had some time to kill.
The red target was shot with a PSL/Dragunov open sights @ 100yds, off of a rock solid rest. 2.25" it doesnt get much better with the POSP (named accordingly Peice.Of.****) scope.
Blue target, DPMS LR-308 with factory ammo. I tried to even things up by shooting this one off the bipod. came it at a little under MOA.
This concludes todays class on the difference between Combloc, and American engineered long range rifles.:biggrinjester:

Am I the only one worried about the Kool Aid man with a sniper rifle running around Jersey?:sifone:
Do you want more of a short-barrel tactical rifle, an original looking one or something like the long-barrel? Take a look- http://www.springfield-armory.com/armory.php?clicktype=rifles
On something like the SOCOM, you can do a zero-magnification like an Eotech or Aimpoint and augment it with a 3x magnifier you can swap on or off. On the long gun, you'll need something with variable magnification- at a bare minimum a Leupold Mark IV or better. You need something with an adjustable reticle.
There are lots of custom builders out there that can build you something to your exact spec. Take a look at the Whitefeather on the Springfield website. That's a NM-quality rifle in a McMillan stock. You can get a custom rifle like that for less from a builder.

Couldnt make it any worse. :26: Besides, 'sniper' is a vague term.
Steczy, I dont know what your price range is for glass but Ive had good luck with the Burris XTR series, its a good match in the $1k range for a factory rifle. You dont need a $2k+ glass for an out of the box Garand. One the very low end in the $300 range the Millett TRS scopes have gotten rave reviews for the price range. I plan on sticking one on my coyote gun. Coyotes wont be eatin any sheep around theese parts...

This makes it sooooo hard not to comment.........:sifone:
I've turned $1200 Leupolds into scrap on 7.62 rifles after a couple thousand rounds. We had a Mark IV on a Lapua and it wouldn't hold zero for 3 shots. It's tough to get a good, recoil resistant scope anymore.

Firearms Information
Both the Division of Criminal Justice and the State Police Firearms Unit have received a number of inquiries whether the Colt Match Target Rifle and the Springfield M1A are considered assault firearms under New Jersey law.
Based on our review of the law and the Attorney General guidelines, we conclude that neither of the two firearms are prohibited under State law.
The Colt Match Target Rifle, based on the manufacturer’s specifications, is a new line of rifles and is not part of the AR-15 series, and thus, is not prohibited under N.J.S.A.2 C: 39-1w(1).
Although this new rifle, may resemble the Colt AR-15, there have been substantial changes to the firearm, including the receiver which is not identical to an AR-15 receiver.
In addition, because of changes in the configuration of the firearm, the Colt Match Target Rifle is not substantially identical to a prohibited firearm and prohibited under this classification.
See N.J.S.A.2C:39-1w(2) and Attorney General’s Guidelines Regarding the “Substantially Identical” Provision in the State’s Assault Firearms Laws dated August 19, 1996.
The Springfield M1A is not one of the enumerated firearms which are specifically prohibited under the State’s assault firearms laws. It has been prohibited in this State as being substantially identical to a named firearm.
However, according to the manufacturer’s specifications, the M1A has been modified. The modified M1A, which became available in 1994, would not be considered to be substantially identical to a prohibited firearm in accordance with the statutory provision and the Attorney General’s guidelines cited above.
However, earlier versions of the M1A which contains at least two of the criteria identified in Paragraph B of the Attorney General’s Guidelines, supra, would still be considered to be substantially identical to a prohibited firearm and continue to be banned under our State law.
As a result, it will be necessary to clearly distinguish the physical characteristics or lack of physical characteristics when making a determination regarding the M1A rifle.
Neither this clarification regarding the classification of the Colt Match Target Rifle and the M1A Rifle, nor the guidelines issued August 19, 1996, regarding the “substantially identical” provision of the assault weapons law applies to firearms that are specifically listed in N.J.S.A.2C:39-1w(2) as prohibited firearms or to firearms which are banned at “types” of named prohibited firearms.

He needs a good bolt gun. Call Mike Rock.
You'll overpay for a Whitefeather- it's a commemorative edition named for Carlos Hathcock, the Marine sniper. You can get the same piece built for about a third to a half left.
The bolt gun is going to be a better shooter but not as cool. If I was to build a bolt gun and have just one, it would be the Lapua. Nothing like owning a piece that reports like a piece of field artillery- and clears the benches beside you at the range.
