Anything would help, I am also looking into just a plain 91/30, but really like the pu scope and the fact that they are more accurate, and that you can still use the iron sights with it. So any suggestions, tips or advice and any links would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
i checked those one out at aim surplus, but what does it mean when they say that the bores will not be in ecellent condition, but will be servicable.

hi. i have a 1938 turk mauser that sum1 bubbad. ill just give u a small bit of wat they did. cut down the stock poured laquer all over the stock without removing the stock from the rifle did a crap job birchwood casey cold blueing. then wraped the whole gun in camo duck tape. so ive tooken this rifle cut the barrel down to 18” and recrowned it. got a boyds walnut sporter stock. and am going to jewell the bolt and add a new bolt handle. drill and tap for scope mounts. and will add some iron sights later on down the rode and a new trigger. i was thinking a old scope from the era of when people where buying surplus rifles and sporterizing them would look great on this rifle! whats a good one that will hold up well on a 8mm mausers recoil. any help will be appreciated. also im against sporterizing military rifles just like collectors but i looked at this old gun and felt sorry for it i saw a old bird dog who is in his last years. has scars from his day of duty and is sitting in the pound and no body wants to adopt him because of his age and looks. so i was all for taking this old dog and giving him a bath and bringing him back to health and getting him back in the field and hunting again. hope this is a good example of how i felt about this rifle.
omgsh i saw a old weaver fixed power made in america 4x for 50$ yesterday but i figured it was just a .22 scope because of the price. d.j i fully beleave in ur answers but will they hold zero on a 8mm? im also like the redfield widefield low pro 3-9s and will purchase one in the future (saw a .303 short haird pointer the otherday that could use a good stock and scope mounts.) and my mauser is a 98 action that has the small ring threads which is why i didnt get this barreld to a 30.06 because the gunsmiths in my area charge a heck of alot to thread a barrel.
yes this will be my brush gun. keep up the good suggestions guys!

To start off I love this rifle. It is an M16 with an upper receiver made by Barrett and we already know them to be reliable. It shoots 6.8 which is very good and provides the stopping power worthy of an Assault rifle with the accuracy and precision of an M16. It would be a great counter to the Ak-47 which makes the M16 look like a BB Gun. I hear many stories of insurgents still coming at you after being hit with an M16.

When I enlist in the Marines soon i hope to have a reliable gun.

do you think the US Military will replace the M16 with this.
Just some extra information: In addition, the REC7 uses the new 6.8 mm Remington SPC (6.8 x 43) cartridge, a round that is of roughly equivalent length to 5.56 mm ammunition, making it compatible with the M16 and M4 rifle magazines currently in use by the United States Military. According to Barrett, the new 6.8 mm round boasts 50% more stopping power than the 5.56 mm round and a longer effective range. The round has a slightly lower velocity than the 5.56 mm round, however Barrett claims it has 1.5 times the kinetic energy of the 5.56 mm round. The company claims that it is effective at six hundred meters and has a muzzle velocity of 2650 feet per second when fired from a 16 inch barrel. Like many AR-15 type rifles, such as the M16/M4, the barrel is threaded to allow muzzle attachments such as a suppressor, it can also use the M16/M4s bayonet on its muzzle like the M9 Bayonet or OKC-3S Bayonet. The REC7 employs the S.I.R. handguard (Selective Integration Rail) manufactured by ARMS Inc
which allows many military accessories such as a bipod, night vision devices, and combat optics to be placed on the rifle. In addition the SIR system has flip-up iron sights already built in to the system for when the weapon is used as a stand alone rifle.
M4 Carbine or the M16 aren’t good enough for the grunts on the field. This isn’t really a new revelation either. Let’s face it, since day 1 of the adoption of the M16 during Vietnam, the M16 hasn’t exactly been everyone’s favorite assualt rifle. In fact, it has been regarded by some as a killer of US troops, leaving them stuck in firefights without effective stopping power and jammed rounds.

in the military do they teach you to shoot with both eyes open (with iron sights, red dot, etc)? Also do you shoot on the move while looking through the sight, or is it more move, take aim, then shoot?

I see photos of Marines and Soldiers who have Trijicon ACOG’s while others just have iron sights? What determins what Optics you get on your rifle? Do you have to buy them or does the military provide them?

I’m looking for a .223 Remington or .308 Winchester rifle that costs between 0 and 00 and has military style iron sights as well as a mount for optics. M1A’s are a bit out of my price range and I’d rather not buy a modified California legal AR-15, but I’m still trying to buy a rifle that I can work on improving my marksmanship with an M16. Any suggestions? Thanks.
