.300 AAC Blackout: Range report - initial impressions..

[WarPig1976]

I am a total AAC .300 Blackout convert! I like the bigger projectile that the Blackout (7.62x34mm) has. True, I still love the 5.56, especially from my 20" barreled SP1/602 Colt clone. BUT... This little .300 Blackout M4 I've built is my FAVORITE long gun, even surpassing my beloved transitional 5.7 mil Winchester M1 carbine! The .300 just has THUMP! Whether for serious shooting situations, or if I go plinking, the Blackout is my go-to weapon.

With that said, though, my latest acquisition is a .308 - a PTR91 A3S (American made HK 91 clone) VERY nice! Sweet shooter, though not as handy as the .300 Blackout.

Ahhh, YES,,Your conversion to the Dark Side is almost complete wise Rangemaster...The final step in your journey will be your acceptance and ultimately your utter devotion to the AK platform!!..

Haha! Actually, I was an acolyte of the AK and VZ58 for years! I even restored several Saigas to their intended form. When I moved back to Kalifornistan, I thinned the heard and stuck with ARs and M1 carbines.

I have affectionately named my 300 Blackout "THUMPER!" Light, handy, and THUMPS what it hits!
