The rifle brings back the "good old days" of my stint in the Army. Who I first joined, we used the M14s and for the first 3 months in Viet Nam. Then we transitioned over the M16s.

That's impressive. The farthest I've been able to shoot my M1A is 200 yards. I go with my buddy to an outdoor club he belongs to, and they have ranges up to 600, but you have to be a member and go through a bunch of member shit to use anything over 200, so I haven't done it.
I sure miss the days when I had the use of long dead relatives' farms for this sort of thing.
