LDT M14 / M1A for long range shooting
Posted: Sun Apr 16, 2017 9:30 pm
Hi all.
I have decided on getting a more modern rifle for long(er) range shooting. I have always stuck with my old milsurps for the longer ranges (800 - 1000 yards), K98 sniper / Mosin sniper etc. Accuracy with these I have had some great days, but also had some very bad days (as you would expect?).
I will of course continue with the milsurps at this range, but I would like to get something with more assurance & capability, but without re-mortgaging the house to buy a super dooper target gun with a stock that has the same render pattern as my kitchen worktop.
Looking at these LDT M14's that are on the radar in the U.K , does anyone have one, what are they like ?
I would be looking to add a scope to one and copy a m14 like used in Iraq / Afghan etc
Not expecting competition winning accuracy, but just something that is capable of some "good" accuracy
Thanks in advance
