I finally got out today and shot the new PSA PA-10 .308 today. Just to be perfectly honest with you it wasn't too bad. I was using a picnic table and I was stacking bags up on top of each other to try to get the right height of the rifle in relation to the Target. It was a sketchy test at best. At 50 yards all the shots fell within the diameter of the bottom of the Coke can. Of course that is with open sites. At a hundred yards my old ass couldn't even see the targets but I managed to keep the shots on paper and in the kill zone which is amazing considering that all I saw was a white blotch with some red on it. I was using just regular white box Federal 147 grain full metal jacket rounds that I bought at Walmart.
The one thing that I couldn't stand was the amount of recoil this rifle had. It was equal to my dad's 30-06 700 BDL with a wooden stock. It was painful to say the least. I did order a 5.4 Oz buffer and a Sprinco orange extra power buffer spring so hopefully that tames down the recoil report somewhat. I didn't take pictures @;100 yards because there was really nothing stellar to to show anybody considerate I couldn't see the targets. I do have a ballistic advantage 18 in Dark Series premium Barrel coming so that should bring things in a bit. That and I will be using a scope as well.
Next time I go out shooting I'll have a scope so I'll be able to get a better idea but as it sits right now it'll damn near take your arm off when you shoot it. The gun function flawlessly with no problems whatsoever. So all in all have to say it was worth the money and then some. I think it'll be a real good rifle once I've replaced the stuff that needs it. I do have a picture of the one at 50 yards what you give you some idea of how the barrel shot. The three shots above the five shot grouping were the first shots before I adjusted the front site.
