Hello! and requests was created by Nikon
Hi, I am NIKON.
New comer here. Don't have AR-10 or any long rifle.

I am interested in buying a AR-10, a long range scope, a reloading kits (not for the money, for fun), maybe 1,000 rounds of ammo (what grain?). Last 2 weeks, I have read some of Forum, which is a lot of help for me. Good information. I will continue to read for now and may write some questions later. Then please help me for an instruction, where, what to buy.
Many thanks

I am very glad to find this excellent site.

Welcome to the site! There are others with a lot more experience than I. I can tell you what I have. The first rifle is an earlier 10T with 24" barrel. The second started as a new 10T with the Mag Pul PRS buttstock, quad rail for end. I am still working on the gas system. I have the SASS gas system, but haven't changed it out until I learn more. The scope is a Leupold 3.5 x 10 Var-X III on an ArmaLite 1" mount with an ARMS quick detachable spacer. I have the Harris S-LM bipod and ARMS 32 adapter for the rail. It looks like the SASS but with the 10T bull barrel and no flash hider. I have ordered a Ching Sling and YHM adapters. The loads so far are Sierra 168 gr (recommnded bullet weight) in Hornady match cases, Varget or 4895. I still use an old Rock Chucker and RCBS electronic powder dispenser. Primers are whatever I can find.

The scope on the older rifle is a 6 x 18 Nikon with mil dot. As a target rifle it does very well, and the scope is OK. If I needed to set up quickly the Leupold is more forgiving. The Harris Bipod and Mag Pul PRS are very good. I had a little trouble with the bipod loosening up when hooked to a sling swivel, on the rail there is no problem. Originally I was going to have 2 top ends and one bottom until I found that I could get a l10B for $420 and have two rifles. With more cash I would have gone with a Leupold long range with illuminated reticle for both.

It really depends on what you want to do with the rifle. Fitted out my "Semi-SASS is pretty heavy. I can see that one of the carbines would carry better and be fine for a lighter rifle. Download the ArmaLite catalog and take a look.

Enjoy,
Barry
