7.62 is .308 which I have on fac ticket. Looking to get one soon.

 

Have you been to riflecraft yet? Spent a fortune there years ago, .220 swift and 30.06

When I did deer management at Bovington and Lulworth ranges I used both a .243 Win and a 270 Win. Most forces people used a .308 Win, as you say it is 7.62mm, simply because you could use 7.62 for practice but load your own .308 to get the same point of impact, saved a fortune. We took about 100 beasts a year, sika and roe but mainly sika. We had at a conservative estimate 400 on 3,000 acres at Lulworth.

I went to Cambodia for a holiday and went to a shooting range. I fired an AK47, M16 and an M60. There is another range where you can fire an RPG at a cow....

 

My mate went to East europe for a holiday and fired similar guns. I believe there was also a draganov sniper rifle there.

Any of you ex military fired a 50 cal Barrett ? Just curious .

 

Actually this rifle is on my bucket list of weapons to not only fire but someday own. The plant is in Murfreesbo, Tennessee. It is recomended by the manufacturer that anyone interested in the rifle to visit the plant and attend class providing detailed information for the prospective owner or person just interested in sending some really large rounds down range:thumbup1:

The price new is some what staggering, however I suppose you can negotiate that as well if your willing to make the trip and the effort.

weapon of choice is now .416 Tac Chevy, it punches out to 2500m and unlike the others, is dammed near flat trajectory, the Barrat was an attempt to fill a gap that didnt exsist, L42, then L96, then the .338 lapua do just fine, the barrat was just the usual american way of quantity rather than quality, it takes a lot of time and a very good armourer to make a barrat moa acurate, the AI weapons do it out of the box

Cheyenne Tactical .416 fires Barrett .416 rounds I believe . The Chey Tac .408 though is an " old fashioned " solid lead bullet rather than a copper jacketed hollow lead core rounds like the .416 .

Can you fit a sound moderator to a 50 cal? Handy for vermin controll
