I'm thinking about buying a Sig Sauer 556 DMR.
The only way I can justify the purchase would be to sell my Remington 700 LTR (.223) with a Bushnell Elite 4200 Tactical 6-24 x 50 optic mounted on it.
The issue at hand is that the LTR is RIDICULOUSLY accurate. I knew I got lucky within 6 shots, after I lapped the rings and mounted the Bushnell on it. At 100 yards, with factory American Eagle, I can drop three shots in a space the size of a quarter, and I'm no expert.
Here's a terrible cell phone picture of the rifle:
I took two co-workers to the range one day last year. Neither had ever fired a rifle before. One had never shot a gun of any kind before. After a few "warm up" shots with the LTR we decided to have a contest. We each took one shot at the same target, at 100 yards, and the furthest from the center had to buy lunch for the other two. I put a small yellow adhesive dot in the center of a silhouette target to help them concentrate on a small spot.
Needless to say, those two guys were hooked on target shooting immediately! I had to explain to them that THAT doesn't happen all that often.
(For the record....mine was the one inside the yellow dot.
)
