Who is going to pick one of these up?

I am not patient enough to shoot that. I was offered sniper school when I got to infantry school, but I declined. Crawling for 3 days to go 500m does not sound appealing. I am more the "door-kicking" type.

That said, that is a SICK piece of gear.

 

Nice solid weapons, good job!

 

Now this would be fun.

 

 

Shot the SCAR and Desert Warrior today. The reciprocating bolt on the SCAR has forced me to change my forward grip (I am usually holding onto the receiver). I might have to go with a vertical grip or just retrain my muscle memory to this new way. The recoil impulse is very odd. It's a nice slow push - absolutely ZERO muzzle climb. It's much softer recoiling than even the 416. I was very surprised. With the muzzle brake that's on it, it is LOUD. My factory sights were about 3 quarter-turns of the front sight low. Easy fix, but I was surprised they were that far off. The iron sights will just be for backup, since I'm probably putting an EO-Tech or ACOG on it soon.

The Kimber was REALLY nice. It's been a long time since I've fired a full-size, steel-framed 1911 (my other 1911 is a Colt Lightweight Commander with a bunch of work). They are so smooth. It was immediately accurate - no adjustments required. Follow-up shots were good. I may swap to one of those fiber optic orange front sights since picking it up was a little difficult. My buddy's HK45 was much easier to find the front sight.

Overall, good day. Both guns work and both shoot (reasonably) where I want them to. The Kimber DW will go back in my nightstand after a thorough cleaning, stoked with 230-grain Golden Sabers.
