Winchester Model 62a Sight Adjustment
Просмотров 46521 день назад
After replacing the front sight on my Winchester Model 62a slide action rifle (pump action) I take it out to the range and attempt to sight it in. The sight was replaced due to it missing the small brass bead. I also ended up replacing the tubular magazine to fix the issue with the rifle failing to eject the last round. Using a sight drifter, I tap my rear sight to adjust the windage. Watch as ...

Recently my buddy went camping with me. He shows up with this crazy looking Ruger 10/22 pistol called the RUGER 22 CHARGER. Looked like a neat little firearm so I slapped a scope on it for him and tested it with some different 22lr ammo to sight it in and see how it does at 55 yards. Oh, and I found an arrowhead while setting up my target. CVLIFE JackalHowl F02 3-9x40 AO Scope: www.amazon.com/d...

Magnum Research BFR Review and Range Time
So i got the APX A1 compact 6 months ago. It now has over 1000 rounds through it and it's a dream to shoot. Smooth, accurate , level, very controllable. It is an awesome gun. Folks have fussed over the trigger but after shooting a walther PDPF, I can say with confidence that I prefer the Beretta. Some will disagree with me , and that's OK. The APX A1 compact is now the first thing I grab when I need to do a perimeter check.... its reliable, durable, and fun to shoot!!!
Thanks for watching Keith! Although I do complain about the trigger in the video, I have since made two more videos using my APX A1 testing out different optics. The latest one should post this Friday. I can now say that the trigger has improved immensely as I have put more rounds down range. Seems it just needed a short break in.
Just got one. Love the look and feel. My true cost was only $260. Not a fan of the trigger. Tended to shoot low and left more than normal. A heavy trigger isn’t necessarily a bad thing on a SD edc. My armed encounters of which I have many were within the length of a car.
Thanks for watching BirdDogey1! The trigger has improved as I have put more rounds through it. Just filmed my third shoot with it and my groups are steadily tightening.
Great Video 👍🏼
I'm a little disappointed on the accuracy with the Beretta, but when you got to shooting steel it seems to be improving. So it might be a break-in issue and as it gets more use and you get more trigger-time, it might become your favorite carry pistol. I am impressed by the CVLIFE red dot. Thanks for taking us shooting and showing how to dial in the new sight.
Thanks Frank! Another company sent me yet another red dot and I swapped it on the Beretta to see how it does. That video should be up in a week. Spoiler alert, I started shooting the APX A1 much better. The trigger does seem to be improving with time.
Thanks for the video and thanks for actually showing how it wears .
Thanks for watching Mike! I ended up getting a Harry's holster for my P365 and it has been working well.
I've been on a Beretta binge as of late and interested at what the APX A1 Compact has to offer especially at the price point. Hopefully that triggers gets even better over time. Thanks for the vid!
Hey there Gringo! It has been getting better. I just finished testing a different red dot on it and my groups are improving. That video should be up by the end of next week.
Thanks TexMex looks like the Beretta is coming along and the red dot does take some getting used to. I like that little CV Life red dot.
It's a good little dot. We'll see how well it holds up over time. Hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend!
@@texmexshoots Getting over being sick and just now getting back to deer hunting. I watched six this evening with two little bucks sparing. I'll have to do a short on that.
@@cervus-venator Yes indeed. That would make a great short! Nothing better than catching some great wildlife moments as you hunt.
Someone please teach this bozo windage and elevation! In addition, not all .22 ammo shoot the same. Ever heard of using blue loctight? What a waste, other than finding a nice arrowhead.
Glad it's better. That looked like fun. Thanks Tex Mex.
The trigger is improving. Already tested a different red dot and the APX shot much better
Didn't know about CVLIFE, looks like a good budget option. Have you looked into a trigger kit for the APX?
Thanks for watching Wayne! I haven't adjusted the trigger on the APX yet, but I can tell you it has gotten better with use. I just filmed another video using the APX with a different red dot. I'll post it in a week. I was doing relatively well off hand at 15 yards.
If you get a chance check out CVlifes rmsc version. It sits a lot lower on the frame. Should be perfect for your Beretta AP wex. 😂
I'll need to check it out!
I have a couple of these Wolf Covert x S01's ones myself. The huge window and circle dot is great for anyone trying to learn red dots on pistols. Good review my friend
A great option for beginners. Thanks as always for watching Brother!
@@texmexshoots I watch everyone brother.
I wish they all mounted the same.
I agree. The amount of footprints out there is crazy.
Gallery Guns are my new obsession. You can find stellar ones here in California for $500, which means they are probably $150-200 everywhere else in the sane world. :)
Thanks for watching! Not sure why my last reply to you disappeared. RUclips can get glitchy at times. If I can find a gallery gun between $150 and $200, I'm buying it on the spot!
My 22 handgun does not like cci Stingers. I think its due to the slightly longer casing. It does like cci Velocitor though, which arealmost as fast, but quite a bit heavier.
Thanks for watching! You are likely correct about the Stingers casing causing the problems. I've have a few firearms that have issues with it as well.
Well done. I have one too a yet to take it to the range.
Thanks! I expect you won't be disappointed. Take some quality ammo and you should get some great groups!
Cool carbine. I have a Marlin Model 9 in great condition and have not shot it much.
Thanks Frank! They are fun little carbines. Also, they have gone up in price due to scarcity. Take care and have a happy Thanksgiving!
I do just fine with mine. The trigger is not the best but it's not the worst. I think he just need to train with it more. You wont even have the excuse of the trigger being "too heavy" lol
Thanks for watching Randy! I certainly do need more time behind the trigger with this particular pistol. Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!
I bought a PX4 Storm compact the first time I went to the range it jammed 3 times on one magazine and twice on the other that kept happening so I sent it back to Baretta and they say it fired fine they used 124 grain I use 115 I went to the range today and it named on the first shot on all three clips and atleast two mor times on each mag I am ready to get rid of it I cleaned it oiled it tried Federal ammo 115 grain what it does is the bullet comeing in is catching the spent shell can anybody help I have a Baretta 92 and that shoots anything I thought this would too Ha Ha
Sorry to hear about your troubles with the PX4. Are you using the factory magazines? Maybe it is an extractor/ejector issue? But to be clear, you say it is not feeding or is it a failure to eject?
Hey Tex did you ever chrono that winchester Super X?
I don't think so! I didn't have my chrono back when I made this video. I plan on doing some more ammo comparisons soon.
The 22 pro is not powerful enough for the gun too cycle the action.
I agree. They claim it is a 40 grain bullet at 1085 fps. That should work the action. These must have been an underpowered batch.
Cz75 is a myth❤
Thanks for watching! The CZ75 is an amazing pistol.
Did you test any full magazines, including + 1?
Unfortunately I did not. On a later date I did load the magazines and shot off some rounds, but I could only get in 14. The magazines are STIFF out of the box. I expect they will loosen up in time.
10"Kidd Match barrel, 3-12X PFI Rapid Reticle and Burris Signature rings with +/-20 inserts nets a lot of MOA. Took a 295 yd. prairie dog last year to win the long-range PD shoot comp. of Wy-Shot this past June.
That's amazing! Thanks for sharing SSCoyote. Kidd makes some amazing stuff. I have a couple of their trigger systems on two of my 10/22s.
straightforward, honest review. your beretta apx1 doesn’t seem to be a pleasant shooter. i am a revolver guy. my sole 9mm pistol is a springfield xd9, which i like. thank you.
@@jtns2845 thanks for watching and I appreciate your kind words. The XD9 is a great pistol. Another great contender of the strikerfired market.
Hope it gets better. I started switching to red dot. My aging eyes need the help. 😊 Thanks Tex Mex
@@J0j0m10 thanks as always for watching JoJo. Hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving!
@ Have a good Thanksgiving!
Thanks for the shooting and evaluation. Not too impressive performance for a Beretta pistol. But thanks for taking us along anyway.
Thanks as always for watching Frank. The pistol itself was very reliable, it was just the trigger that gave me some issues. Hoping it gets a little better as I get more rounds through it.
Now that's Italian! Good review brother, I hope you've been well
Thanks as always, my friend. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
@@texmexshoots Eh, lost my little combat kitten & good buddy last night, so i'm pretty bummed today. Circle of life, but it still sucks. You have a good thanksgiving too my friend.
@ I’m sorry to hear that brother. I’ve lost a few of my fur buddies recently as well. Sending prayers your way
@@texmexshoots Right back at your furry friends as well man. Have a great night and thanks very much.
None of my guns has a preference of ammo I'm old school an if I don't hit my target it means I did not hit my missed
Thanks for watching Roger! You’d be surprised at how much rimfires tend to prefer certain ammunitions
What is the w for in the ammo wmr
@@rogeralaniz2205 Winchester magnum rifle. Apparently the round was originally created by Winchester
Hello of France, I 've bought this gun , and she's wonderful......since one month in my great garden I making fuls shoots.....very good gun , great quality , précision ok .....sorry for my english......ciao ...
@@eddycamp2492 Greetings from Texas! Tikka makes a wonderful rifle. I’ve been very happy with its quality and accuracy. My wife studied in France for a year during college. We are hoping to go visit in a few years during December and visit some Christmas markets. Take care and good shooting!
You have to close the cylinder differently, it rotates counterclockwise you are closing, and jamming the hand in clockwise direction,...when you close move your rounds one more hole to the right, and be turning counterclockwise, as you close.
I was unaware of that. I appreciate the info!
With the gun unloaded, get some good gun oil, turn it upside down, a drop one drop of oil, in the trigger opening at the front of the trigger, and next time you shoot, make sure you let the trigger all the way released after fire, Its not a semi auto trigger.🇺🇸🍺
Thanks for the info Randy! I appreciate the help.
The Henry instructions Says not to use anything less than 158gr. Thanks for the video comparison.
@@gordonhood6265 Thanks for watching Gordon! I appreciate the info. Always important to read the manual
Does anyone believe that either manufacturer has separate manufacturing lines for bulk versus packaged? I’ll bet the only difference is diverting the same ammo to one packaging step or the other. Would be interesting to see a video of them being made to confirm.
I would love a tour of a manufacturing plant! Although no one produces ammunition near me. At least not that I know of. Maybe someone with industry knowledge will come along and comment.
Hmm 🤔, groups on open sights seem pretty normal, but the red dot (IMO only) seem a little too large, inconsistent. Ammo, shooter, or gun?🤷♂️🤔. I can’t stand those rubber/wood inserts, but to each his own. Hogue grips, wood or their “rubber” grips (stocks?) just work better for me. Glad you were shooting at 35 yards. I can’t stand folks shooting at @ “7” yards! If your pistol & you can’t make a group of 2-3” at that short distance, you need to spent some more time at the range shooting! 35 yards, excellent. I like 25 - 50 yards, cause if you can hit from there, 7 yards is a piece of cake. Thanks for the video 👍😎.
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it. I agree that the Hogue grips are superior to the wood insert grips. For some reason I fell in love with their look back in the 80's when they first became popular and that is why I have them on both those revolvers. But truth be told, I'd shoot them better with Hogues. Especially in 357. The big rubber grips make them much easier to control.
Here in South Africa the CCI long is available at many places. But, it does not sell very good. I bought one packet to test but the precision is not good, that might be why it is not selling good, so you are missing nothing important.
Thanks for watching John, and greetings from Texas! What brand of 22 long rifle ammunition do you prefer that is available to you over there?
@@texmexshoots We get most of the popular ammo like the different Lapua, Eley, RWS, SK, CCI, Federal, Aguila and also some of the bulk boxes. My favorite is CCI Std vel and S&B Std Vel as it shoots good out of my rifle and the price is right. SK Std Plus is also good but not better. I tried some of the more expensive and precision ammo but with my rifle I don't get better precision and value for the price.
@@John-Nel Sounds like you have some great choices. I like CCI SV as well, and shoot Eley Target which might be a little better. Did one video testing some "Match" ammo out of a Tikka T1x and Ruger 10/22 LVT. I would like to get my hands on some SK and Lapua to test as well.
@@texmexshoots I have only the one rifle in .22LR, a Winchester 9422 with a Hawke Airmax 4-12x40 scope on it and I love it. While it is far from a match or precision rifle, it is capable of 1MOA on a good day but not always. I tested Eley Match, Tenex and Lapua Center-X, but it does not do better and I need a precision rifle to get the full value out of any of those, so I stopped testing the expensive stuff. Racing fuel does not make a slow car faster and precision ammo does not make a sporting rifle a match rifle. The best ever I got from the 9422 is 7mm (0.54MOA) at 50 meter and 15mm (0.52MOA) at 100 meter (109 yard), all with the CCI SV, but I could not repeat it for now. I would like to have a Marlin 39A and a Browning BL22 as well but they are not common here.
Thanks Tex Mex! LOL I was thinking this was the full review. That's what I get for not reading the title completely. We'll it leaves me something to look forward too. So I prefer these "enclosed" red dots like this for my turkey hunting shotgun. It keeps the trash out. I have a reflective TruGlow on my shotgun and it works great, but is exposed to getting dirt or leaf litter in it blocking the laser from projecting the dot on the reflective screen.
I agree. Although they make some great Reflex style sights for pistols, I would prefer enclosed ones for them as well. Just easier to maintain.
Mecgar makes a great magazine for the S&W 59 & Marlin camp9. Throw that pro mag away.
I love Mecgar mags. Been a big fan for a while. I just recall having trouble finding this particular model in stock.
Looking forward to mounting, sighting-in and then shooting with it. I will forward this along to a friend who might be interested in a red dot.
Thanks Frank! Need to get that video edited. Lots of target camera footage which makes it a bit more work intensive. Hopefully within a couple of weeks I'll have it uploaded. My next video is about the continuing saga of my Marlin 39a misfire issue.
@@texmexshoots Looking forward to that, too.
Man, I've been torn between the two for a while, and this video only makes me want both.
Well Cory, that is the right answer. 😁 But if you can only have one, make sure to feel them in your hand first. That will help you tip the scales one way or the other.
I think I have a MidTen bipod and scope I got for review at one time.
Thanks for watching Boom! How did they work out?
Nice unboxing. Love the motion wake system. I have a couple red dots without it and wish I had it.
Thanks Jojo. Seems the motion wake is becoming a standard feature now. And they all crank up to 11 😄
It's amazing how many red dot companies are out there now.
Yup, I've got another already on the way 😅
@texmexshoots keep em coming lol
AE 158 JSP grouped like crap out of 20in R92. Velocity was awesome at 1850fps
Have you tried Blazer Brass? They have a 158 JHP.
@texmexshoots not yet. Might try those out next, especially for the brass. Handholding and finding really good success with 140gr xtp with H110
very well done video. no heavy metal music or tactical hype. ruger single six is an everything sidearm.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. The single six is the pistol that I carry the most when out hunting or just hiking around the property. A very versatile and handy sidearm.
@ thank you. a ruger single six is my get-home, car-trunk, survival-backpack piece.
Cock it, not cock it back.
I scratched mine all up BUT. SHE STILL STANDS. MENACINGLY IF I MAY ADD. two rounds I used for hunting purposes are the CCi hollow point and the CCi TNT. Trust me yall. Coyotes don’t stand a chance with those TNTs
A scratched up rifle is a well used rifle! I need to try some of those CCI TNTs. See how well I can group them out of this rifle. Thanks for watching!
Do Revolvers like a 38 special need less maintenance?
Not necessarily. It depends on what you compare it to. However, all in all a 38 special revolver does not require too much maintenance.
@@texmexshoots Thanks for the response. I guess I'm comparing it to small handguns with clips.
@@unklecorky2181 Depending on how much you shoot, either a revolver or small semi-auto both may need to be cleaned. However, a semi-autos will require more disassembly to clean it well. Plus, they are also a little more complicated to function.
@@texmexshoots Understood. I'm looking at a Taurus 38 special with or without hammer snub nose. Probably with Hammer. Budget ya know.
@@texmexshoots You have a really good channel. Got to start somewhere ya know?
Thank you for this review! Good information.
