Each type of shooting Challenge has its plusses and minusses tho so there's always a few tradeoffs. We modified the 3 MOA Challenge a few times early on in order to accommodate limitations and then it took off. Just like with the 1 MOA All Day Challenge, we found out who the shooters were, too. I have been doing a drill I love- Start standing- 5 paper silhouette @ 50, 2 rounds each - then 2 targets @ 100, 10'' gongs, 1 shot each - then drop to prone- 2 hits at 500, 1/2 steel silhouette. My goal is under 15 seconds, best time yet is 17.48. I have been doing this drill with my SHTF rifle which I posted. |

I have replaced all my triggers with geissele triggers except in my 2 LMT MARS Lowers which came with LMT 2 Stage Triggers. I think the LMT is a pretty good duty trigger, That being said, I have 8 different Geissele Triggers, some for hunting, benchrest, 2 gun and PDW. I think the SD-E is my personal favorite. They just have really really good triggers for anything you want to do with them. Edit: just ordered the Geissele HS National Match for my AR10. That and the Hiperfire should give me a good idea whether the extra cost over a LaRure MBT is really worth it. |

I almost purchased the Geissele SSP, but my bank flagged it as fraud last night, and had to wait until this morning to get it straightened out. That gave me more time to do some more research. I’m tempted to grab an SD-E too, while they are on sale. Edit: just ordered the Geissele HS National Match for my AR10.

Hopefully you fellows will enjoy shooting it and post up your results! Thanks Brother. All over it. I'll be trickling in submissions of each category over the next few days to a week. Really glad you threw in the sling allowance, I believe proper use of a rifle sling is a dying art which should never be considered cheating. If you can hit vitals standing at 200+ and a sling makes that happen, that is a good thing in my book. I am a young guy (35) never tried one until last year. Had a Gun Buddy who happens to be a Nam Vet teach me how to use a sling. Now I can reliably hit 8'' steel plates at 200 yards standing. A SIMPLE rifle sling is nearly as good as any natural rest your going to find in the field. Anyway, I'm rambling with excitement to try this out. Thanks again for getting it going. |

Not a bad trigger for a work gun. As for the LaRue MBT that came in my 7.62 PredatOBR.... I know guys swear by the MBT but I just don't get it at all. Shot it once and replaced it with an SD-E. Brought my prone groups from 1.15 MOA to .7MOA, really nice trigger for prone and hunting IMO. |

I can see paying a bit more like I did for a large pin SSA-E, for my AR6721 as well as paying a a little >$300 for my SCAR17's Geissele trigger. But $450+??? I'll pass...that is until Geissele reduces their MR556 trigger. |

| Really nice looking SCAR. I have really came to love my Comp M5, I also like the range offered by my Accupoint 1-4. The Elcan is a Comp M5 on Steroids, With 500 meter capabilities. I need one. Probably should have bought one this BF but I went nuts on Geissele, I also picked up an Omega 300 and a Gen 2 SF RC. Did get some great news last night though. My Tax Stamp came in for my SF Ryder 9Ti. I filed 9/21/18. Long Fn wait for a Can, cruel and unusual punishment if you ask me. Either way, my MP5 is gonna love it. |

@WhiskersTheCat
I hope you aren't one of these guys that doesn't laugh. I don't want to ruin my own thread by actually saying one of the stupid kinds of things that come into my head and cause me to randomly laugh out loud when nothing has been said... I'll be in the kitchen pouring a drink, just start laughing my ass off. My wife will look at me from the living room kind of like your dog does when you slip on the ice and break your elbow just so your shotgun doesn't make contact with the ground. "Wife cocks her head a little bit to the side like what the hell is wrong with you guy. I would never do that". You get up bleeding into your waders through 3 layers of jackets, first thing you do is check to see if your gun got scratched. Dogs just now realizing he is Owned by an idiot, finally looks away and just takes a shit. You decide not to go out on the duck boat due to your might be broken elbow. Driving home your look in the rearview mirror to find your prized Retriever chewing on the buttstock of the $2500.00 shotgun you forgot to put in its case because you got side tracked duct taping your elbow shut. Son of bitch. So yeah, sometimes I laugh for no reason, say dumb shit and get hurt when I'm excited. You guys want to go shooting with me sometime |
