Full auto silenced mp5

[NYCSTRIPES]

I am glad you were in the company of some people who are familiar with select fire weapons. More often than not, most soldiers never get to use anything smaller than the M16 or M4 carbines regardless of marksman qualifications. Thank your brother for his service to this great country.
Triggers in the MP5 were not designed to fire like a target rifle. Like I said before, training and practice is necessary to fire an MP5 with any level of proficiency. It is just a "feel" you have to develop since the trigger is kind of klunky on all MP5 models.
As for the ammo, 9mm like all ammo comes in a variety of flavors, some are subsonic and pupose built for firing with supressed weapons. It's more expensive and most places opt not to carry it for punching paper targets. You were more than likely shooting 115gr Ball ammo which is high velocity and would be pretty loud from an MP5 with a can on it.

Your weapon also may have had a great number of rounds down the tube and the supressor may have been in need of refitting. Firing high velocity ammo shortens the life of the supressor guts and they'll get louder over time. Especially when running 300 rounds down the thing and expecting both accuracy and silence.

A reconditioned supressor would be much quieter until the round count got up there again from not firing subsonic ammo.

Last time I was checked I had 20/15 vision and I probably couldn't even see a quarter thru iron sites at 100 yards.

I'm jealous, I've been looking into getting into long range firing but have not had the time or the money to do so. I was looking at just buying a bolt action Springfield and just using it for practice till I can afford something a little better. Im green with envy gents.

Not to mention I also live in New Jersey and there is a lack of outdoor firing ranges that will allow high powered rifles.

The one guy that patrols that place is such a douche bag. He yells about the dumbest things. Now that I live in PA I can drive in any direction and I'll hit a range in like 20 minutes. I have an indoor pistol range 5 minutes from my house.

Careful with the light triggers on factory Rem700 rifles. If I wanted a lighter trigger, I opt for one made by Arnold Jewel which will hold the set both longer and more safely. Personally , I don't recommend anything lighter than 2 pounds for most shooters. I have purpose built benchrest rifles with 2oz triggers that only see a shooting bench. Way too much can go wrong with very light triggers.
Most of my other varmint/target rifles are in the 2-3 pound range. My Competitive service rifles are required to have a 4 pound trigger.

If you like Rem700's here one I designed the cartridge for. I named the caliber the 220Russo-Varminter. It's based upon a modified 220 Russian case and is larger than a 22PPC. Very hot cartridge for varmint shooting. Accurate too. I was able to push a 40gr Sierra Blitz King at about 3900fps with it and I expect a little more veliocity with some tweaking.

Shame really, NY is also headed that way, good shooting ranges are getting more scarce by the year. Not a lack of gun owners, just a lack of gun owners who are active shooters. People do not bitch as loud as anti-gun people and before you realize it, gun shops go first, then there is noplace to shoot.

I am considering relocating to Arizona in the next year or two. Mostly for work, but I can get used ot being in a gun friendly state.

Long range shooting is a great sport. I travel to Wyoming every year for an annual prairie dog shoot. This will be my 6th year in a row. The cattle ranches that put us up are the nicest people I have ever met. Great country out there, incredible shooting opportunities.
Every year I pack up different caliber rifles for the trip.

I would not opt for the older Springfield bolt rifle, I would just look at something in a modern Remington 700 varmint weight rifle or one from Savage also in a varmint weight. Savage rifles are more economically priced and no less accurate. Withthe older Springfield rifle you may run into issues with firing modern ammo in an older rifle that may be needing some gunsmithing updates that may cost you as much as buying a new rifle.
I suggest staring with something in 223Remington which is both accurate and inexpensive to shoot. 223 is also very mild in recoil, so you will be able to shoot it all day long with no shoulder pain like from having to shoot a 308Winchester all day.
