Have been toying with the idea of picking up another target rifle lately, wanted an AR as I really wanted to practice off hand shooting with iron sights, my Garands and M14 are starting to get to me recoil wise and weight,getting old sucks.
Saw they Lou at Discount Shooters had just got in some Colt Match Target 6601 AR's so went down to take a look, nicely finished and balanced and the price was right.
Got it out to the range today and it performed flawlessly with my 69 grain hand loads.After sighting in managed 1 large group in the center of the target from a rest with the iron sights at 100 yards. If my old eyes could see the front sight sharply it would have been half that, might be time for glasses.
If there is one negative with the rifle it's the trigger, not to heavy but it is real gritty, will take it down and polish it up but may end up replacing it with a Rock River or Geissele.
Next step is to start shooting some off hand and see if I can get back to where I was 40 years ago, would't that be great
