[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2008405, member: 229"] Haha - we started young (first baby when I was 19) and the cool thing is when you start getting your kids into shooting as well (I've built a long-range rig for my oldest son and an AR for my youngest). In my opinion, MOA/MOA setups are easier to range-find with American Standard measurements (inches/yards) than MIL (MIL/MIL is great for Metric range-finding) so I'd say you did very well (I wish Vortex had made that scope when I bought my Falcon Menace - not that I have any complaints but I really wanted that reticle). If you don't reload, then keep an eye on Palmetto State Armory and Ammunition To Go for Federal 7.62 NATO Open Tip Match (168gr made for the M1A). It's the best bang-for-buck ammo I've found so far (it shoots as well as my Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr through both of our bolt-guns). Congrats on the build man - now shoot it properly and shoot it often. And when they're ready, take your kids shooting - I was recently going to the range with a friend and his kids (and my two sons) and my boys sat down and started banging steel (and making good groups) at 210yds without any need for direction from me (and they were great about range-safety and sharing their guns with their friends and showing them how to shoot them). My two boys were 11 and 12 when we did this and I couldn't have been more proud. [/QUOTE]
