Our spotters rifle was an M-14 w/selector. I shot "painless" out to 400 yds., offhand with iron sights and was hitting the target, which was a manhole cover painted white. I hit the elevation up 14 clicks and was right on. I love those M-14's.

unfortunately all i can do is shoot 100 meters, there is no longer range available in Belgium for non military.
Ohh jeez! That's like owning a Lamborghini and being told you can only drive it in a 25! I've never been to Belgium, but I wonder if there are there any rural places where you might could shoot?

Only for hunting and even then it's never going to be more then 100 meters.. Belgium really ain't that big ...

I'm in the flemish part, where i would be hard pressed to find a place in the rural area where i live.. that is more then 100 meters away from a house...

The French part (area where the Battle of the Bulge was) is a bit less densely populated, but even still , this ain't a country for long range shooting..


the longest range is the military range, at 400 meters.. but that range has strict limitations on what calibers you can shoot, 7.62 nato used to be allowed.. but then only with a specific FN Herstal 7.62 nato batch.. if you had the wrong kind of nato ammo, forget it.. And the right batch is no longer obtainable.. so no more 7.62 long range shooting there either..

That military range has reopened and Mil spec 308 is permitted again.
I may be in luck !

First zero'ed it at 100 meter, this was the first set of , 11 shots after zero'ing it.
Didn't have a bipod or bench rest , just rested it a wooden plank



Then my front aperture fell off and i didn't have the right allen key with me to tighten it up again.

At first it wouldn't cycle, turns out the gas valve was set wrong..
Then it cycled.. but had a couple of stove pipes.. I'll take it apart, and clean the gas system properly... It seemed to improve as i was finishing up..
I think it's safe to say , the Zombies will have to keep their distance...
