They can be tamed beyond your imagination as well, to the point that the reticle doesn't move. What .308 AR10 did you get again?

Armalite AR-10, .308, 20" barrel...model 10A4BF to be exact. I do have a Kies linear compensator on it, but it was on my Savage .308, and frankly seemed to do little to tame that gun. I've never owned or fired a large caliber semiauto rifle before. I knew the weight and gas design would help, but it's uncanny IMO. I have fired an H&K MP5 9mm before and was amazed at the absolute control of the gun during full auto...understandable...but I think this AR-10 seems almost as tame...not full auto of course. I can kind of see now how those .30 cal SAWS and similar military squad machine guns can be fired by a soldier without being on a bipod or other fixed mount. The recoil seems damped a great deal by the weight and gas design...logical in retrospect. Hiking around carrying this thing will not be as pleasant as my Savage, but with a good sling system and some practice, it will probably be more fun.
