[QUOTE="RetiredSniper, post: 1739429, member: 82005"] I went into the Army at 17&1/2 years old. Was weened on the M-14 308 rifle. Loved it. Then in advanced Infantry training (AIT) Was given an M-16. Did not like it much. When over seas they asked for volunteers of those who made expert with the M-14 in basic to go into the sniper core. I did and I volunteered. We trained at 900 meters. Then out into the jungle for the real thing. I still shoot the 308 at long range but now mine is a heavy barreled bolt action HOWA 1500 Mountain rifle. I only shoot my reloaded 165 and 168 grain bullets as they are more accurate than the lighter 149 and 150 grain bullets. I've had that HOWA for over 20 years and it still drops them every time!
