99-3X
Posting what might be my last entry for this winter. Below is a mostly NES-source AR service rifle. I bought the stripped "DTOM" Anderson lower via one of the NES group buys. I do not recall exactly, but the Spikes upper receiver may have been via a NES group buy or at least via a NES contact. The rest of the upper including a White Oak barrel comes from a parts pile that I bought from a NESer years ago. I completed the lower, installed a Geissele service rifle trigger, and have used this lower with a scoped Compass Lake upper in high power competition.

Ammo was grab bag leftovers from matches. Lighting at the range (as usual) was pretty terrible. The 100 yard position is buried deep in a berm with high walls on the sides and back, thus it is in dark shade. Without leaves on the trees, the distance to the 100 yard position was a very bright white field of snow. Wind was gusting to 15 mph, which is manageable. Not being able to see sh!t is not so manageable, thus the high degree of vertical stringing and that shot in the 9-ring. I'll take this rifle out with a scope on it sometime for comparison.
Bitching aside, I love going to the range when everything is buried in snow.
