Only 30 yards at the indoor, but it should be real close to dead-on at 50, which will save ammo for getting a final zero.
Mentioned it before after I'd fired a AR-10 in .308: I'm impressed by how the design helps tame recoil. With this you know you've touched something off, but it's nothing awful. If you were going to put a bunch of rounds through it you'd want some kind of recoil pad, but for a half-dozen, no problem.
Now I'm wondering, as a quick search didn't find anything that looked good: anyone know of a decent recoil pad that'll fit on a A2 stock?

Sims Vibration Labs makes some nice stuff. Brownells has a couple sizes of slip ons.

The Limbsaver pads are about the best I've ever used. And yeah, a slip-on for the range would probably be the best idea.
Which, now that I think, I may have one in a corner somewhere...
I splurged a while back when I bought my DPMS LR-308 and ordered the
Miculek muzzle break
and apart from the giant *BOOM* I can't tell the difference firing that and a .223 AR.
Granted the 308 also has the bull barrel and weighs like 20lbs, but that's just nitpicking. :P
Nice.
Saw something at Oleg Volks' place looks interesting, a linear compensator: directs most of the muzzle blast and a lot of the noise forward, away from the shooter. Doesn't reduce recoil, but moving a lot of the noise the other way would seem a fine idea.
