The first up is the Chinese SKS mounted in a sporter stock with scope.
Shoots fine for work from 50 to 100 yards but still has that terrible SKS trigger pull.
Anybody know of any fixes for the SKS trigger?
I hate shooting it because of the rough trigger.
The first photo is sized to be seen on your screen.
You will need to scroll to see all of the second photo but is shows more detail for those who are interested.
The second up is the famous "Cold War"/ Vietnam Russian AK-47.
More recently it has become the rifle of choice for all sorts of third world trouble makers.
Apparently, it is easy to obtain, relatively inexpensive, easy to maintain and very reliable.
I personally think it looks very cheap but not as cheap as an SKS (especially an SKS in it original wood stock).
But it is growing on me because I am so tired of all black.
This one is a Norinco chambered in 223.
Trigger is much better than the SKS. Really usable and easy to hit person size target 50 to 100 yards.
Probably could shoot 200 yards with some accuracy but have not tried to do it.
The scope helps and the leather stock wrap helps align the eye with the scope.
Next in line is the AR-15 carbine. It is similar to the M-4 used in Iraq.
Most people who have shot my rifles in this thread have liked the AR-15 carbine the best.
i have a 22 upper (not shown) which converts it to shoot 22LR and a heavy barrel upper (not shown) which shoots one half minute of angle (1/2 inch groups at 100 yards).
So this is a very versatile platform.
Next up is the AR-15 rifle outfitted with scope and raised check rest. This was represented to me as being "pre-ban" but after receiving it I don't believe it is because it is missing the bayonet mount.
Next, something rather rare: a Knight's SR-25. Knight's Armament made special order rifles for special military service.
They took Eugene Stoner's M-16 design (which originally was produced in 308 but had been scaled down to 223) and Knight' either "scaled it back up" or produced it in the "original dimensions" to chamber the 308 cartridge.
When these were first produced they were very, very rare. Now days lots of companies produce an AR-15 style rifle scaled up and chambered for 308.
Today you can buy essentially the same thing for about one fourth the price of the SR-25.

Finally, a sniper rifle.
This is a Remington Heavy Barrel model in 308 mounted in a stock designed by Col. Plaster (author of "The Ultimate Sniper") topped by a Super Sniper 10 power scope (this scope was produced for the Navy SEAL Snipers).
This rifle easily shoots one half inch groups (1/2 inch at 100 yards).
I can shoot an apple off a post at 200 yards. Head shots at 200 years are easy.
Military snipers try never to shoot at less than 600 yards.
I would never have the skill to do that but I believe this rifle/stock/scope combo is up to that task. The weak link is my skill.
I hope this thread is of interest to some RWI members. I will be out on travel in a day or so and be out of communication until the end of the month so I will be unable to answer any questions until early May.

(maybe add a free float RAS on it?)
