So.... I love shooting my pistol, shotgun, and bolt rifle but I feel like I miss out on so many matches/events because I don't have a semi-auto rifle. My heart is really in my Rem 700 (currently have Don Franson doing a Surefire muzzle brake install, can post pics when ready if anyone is interested) so while not trying to go too cheap, I do not plan on going full steam with the new rifle. I like the feel/features/price of the S&W M&P15T. What are the group's thoughts on this rifle for some of the local 3 gun/rifle matches that seem so popular in the area? The STI sporting rifle is of interest as well. I intend on just shooting with irons and possibly grabbing a 1X red dot down the road.
