[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3153256, member: 5412"] Ok, we now have a clue. If you want a fun, cheap centerfire gun to shoot, the standard AR-15 in .223 or 5.56 like has been said is a great plinker. I can ring a 10" gong at 300 yards about as fast as one can get back on target with almost zero recoil. Beyond 350-400 yards, it starts dropping out of the sky. Since you said you had the venerable 30-06 which is one of my all time favorite calibers for long range, you would have to look at a 6.5 Grendel, or other short action calibers to fit the AR platform. If you want to look at .308 or other long action calibers you would have to go to the AR-10 platform. Looks just like an AR-15, but bigger and heavier. [/QUOTE]
