After more than 25 years of Air Force experience, I don’t want another .223 in my hands.

I love my 223. If I need something stronger that's what a bolt action 30-06 is made for.

I have an M1 Garand for that,
but it's long, and it's heavy.

I’ve got an old Colt SP1 (made about 1970) just like they had when I went in (without the auto). No brass deflector, no forward assist. I love it.

I’m with you Centurion, I love my .223’s and for reaching out, my .30-06 Remington 700 BDL, works real fine!!

I agree. Anyone observing you from .308 range should have no idea you are armed.

The future is "stealth," not "range."
