  I would say that you have done extremely well, what caliber?

  Definitely impressive (the trade for it that you pulled off, too).

  Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.

  Was there alcohol or Vaseline involved in that trade? That's a pretty one and you still suck.

  It was a safe queen my Father-in-law bought on a whim and never shot....while they were visiting us in KS I took him to the range. He had never fired an AR before and was breaking clay pigeons at 200 and 300 yards. He made the offer and , well, I did it....

  Come to think of it...I've done pretty well trading off ARs...I got this one for a 6.8 SPC patrol rifle I no longer needed
  It's a Uberti 1873 Winchester in .45 Colt

  SHAMELESSLY stolen 

  Yeah.  What he said.  LMAO!
  
  You dumped an AR to get THAT?  WELL FREAKIN' PLAYED!!
  
  Though I do get why you were able to pull that off.  My dad is into all the old single shots, and while they are UNDENIABLY cool, I like shooting the Sharps rifles the least, due to all the steps required to make them go off - ESPECIALLY when you add DST's and scopes that have to be pulled back in the mounts after each shot.
  
  Postell bullet - excellent choice.  It's like a .22LR subsonic match bullet. . . for men.
