Picked up a very nice mid 80's SA M1A with all USGI parts for a future M21 sniper build. Hoping to get some range time with it this coming weekend.

Re: A new Range toy, BYF44 HT sniper
Well after some range time with some 8mm surplus I finally got some time with some good ammo. Shot some 200gr PPU FMJBT Match ammo and some PPU brass loaded by a buddy of mine.
