Replacment for the M4.

[irnbndr]

The MK23 Mod5, in .300 WM, that is the other one ( I am pretty sure)that I was playing with yesterday.. Incredibly awesome weapon. How much does that sucker weigh??

I don't have the specs available.

It was heavy...

The tapered barrel with target crown looked wierd as hell with the suppressor off...

I just shot this weapon today.

I was hitting 475 and 535 yards easily. Dialed the elevation, got my wind call and fired. It hit on steel every time.

SOTIC is teaching their classes with this platform instead of the M24.



The one neg... With the suppressor mounted, yes it is quieter, but the weight of the suppressor actually flexes the barrel so that your first shot is dead on, but the next five slowly drop on the paper at the same distance... let it cool, remove the suppressor, blow the gasses out, mount the suppressor, and fire again... bingo.. back onto the point of aim.... that is not good... And this was at a zero target of 200 yds....

Anyone ever hear of this happening??

Other than that, I loved shooting the weapon... I think it is a great spotter rifle, and it would allow your team to fight it's way back to the patrol base...

I'm no " Rocket scientist". So where is the charging handle/bolt?

Hint: It's some where in the upper reciever. ;)

It's on the left hand side of the bolt, same as the FN.

Look at the video on the start of the thread, you'll see him cock the weapon at 0:55min.
