M&P 10 range report

[Cc987]

I just shot my new M&P 10 for the first time..

First impressions, great fit and finish, didn't like the stock so I took a Magpul ACS off one of my AR's.

I also took a NF Compact 2.5-10 in a 20 MOA NF Unimount off of an AR and mounted it on my M&P 10.

I took a mix of ammo including 168 fed gold medal match, 168 TAP, 150 power point and some 147 fmj.

I used the 150 power point to get on paper at 50 yards, 100 % reliable.

Once on paper I took it back to 100 yards.

I was pleasantly surprised at the results.

168 TAP did very well, just under .5 MOA! I have read that this rifle loves the 168 AMAX bullet... It does!

168 Fed gold medal match shot just over .5 to .75 MOA...still very good accuracy in a gas gun.

Recoil though more than a .223 is less than I expected.

Rifle was 100 % reliable with all rounds! even the 147 fmj.

My only complaint about this rifle is the ambi safety, it digs into my trigger finger when firing..I will switch it out.

I am very pleased with this rifle, Smith & Wesson has made a winner!

Well that is good to hear - I just bought mine 2 days ago from gunbroker.com for 1075.00! Cant believe I was able to bid that low. I spoke with Kyle Lamb (Viking tactics) and he recommended the mp10 over the ruger sr 762, and sig 716 due to accuracy and how light it is. I pick mine up from the FFL tomorrow or sunday.. I cant wait until Christmas when I get my new scope so I can sight it in at the range. I may put my eotech 512 on it if I cant wait though...

The right side of the ambi safety needs to be smaller and/or thinner than the left side. There are many models available out there that will eliminate that problem during shooting.
