Anyone here participate in a 3-gun shoot? If so, you use anything other than an AR-15?

I've been to a few matches, but haven't competed yet. I've seen a few AKs, and carbines seem to show up often.

I'll be running a pretty standard AR-15 carbine with an Eotech up top.

I would be willing to bet that 80+% of 3-gun shooters are using a AR-15 platform. 5.56x45mm ammo is probably the most cost effective ammunition you can get other than maybe 7.62x39mm. AR platforms only require two hand to reload unlike a M-14 and AK that need a third arm to reload quickly. All in all it is difficult to be the competitiveness of the AR-15 for 3-gun.

That said I have seen AR-10, M-14, mini M-14, AKs, and even an M1 Garands at matches. I personally would think the AR-10 would be the next best thing to and AR-15. All the same controls but with major power factor.

I understand the desire to be different, but mcb was right. Probably 80% (plus) of 3-gun competitors use the AR, and for good reason. Why fight it?

I recently changed-out the scope mount for a lightweight JP mount, but other than that, this is my 3-gun AR.

Well Hooz if your going to turn this into a picture thread.

Rock River Arms Coyote Rifle that I use for 3-gun/multi-gun Limited Division.

I'm gonna use my M1A Socom II

Most of the rifles in out matches are tricked out AR15s. There are some M1As as well.

I'm thinking about using my AK tomorrow, but I know it won't be competitive. I'll probably use the AR for the long range stage, just can't hit that 500m plate with and AK. I don't know why the colors look so odd when I do a photo.

Why not AR?

What's your opinion of that T-168? How well does it work for you on that AR?

Works great for the money. Functional way beyond it's cost. I've been really happy. Just wish I had bought a flat top.

FN has provided the SCAR light to several gunwriters for the 3-gun circuit this year. Other than a very few AKs, I didn't see much other than ARs for the standard Tactical class.

Heavy metal sees M1As and 308 ARs, due to the caliber requirement.
