Range report got a little delayed from when I shot it last week, here it goes:
As soon as I got my PTR 101 GIR from my FFL, I purchased a box of PMC 147 grain FMJ to test fire. I read through the user manual and followed PTR's recommended instructions for the first 20 rounds. The first 10 single shots went fine. The next 10 rounds I had 2 failures to extract. I'm not worried about those 2 failures since this was a brand new rifle from PTR and it is noted some failures are expected within the first 200-300 rounds.
The recoil was nowhere near what I was expecting after reading some horror stories about the .308 PTR 91s. Perhaps its because I am use to shooting 30 caliber bolt guns? :biggrin: Anyways, first impressions are great and I can't wait for my ammo to arrive so I can go to the range to properly break it in!
