We have some viewers who seem to think that the 1,100 yard shot was a miss. It was a hit, you can see the target move. The round hit on the right side of the target, flexed and you can see the splash on the post to the right of it. If you watch our over video, the long hits are all like that. splash right, left or low with the target flex. Right side hits typically flex and splash like that.
I got a challenge for u ... :) .. this clip is from csgo (ruclips.net/video/vqXN7bVo7XM/видео.html) which isnt a big deal cause the AWP more or less stayed the same ... and it just shows the requirements best ... it shows the Player Coldzera from Luminosity Gaming back then ... at jumping shots ^^ ... at Mirage (map) ... yes u heard right .. I want u to jump and shoot (while in air ) .. but not just in any manner ... the line of sight has to be broken at the ground lvl ... so by an about 1.5 -2m wall of boxes or sth. ... and u have to use a scope .. no iron sights or a red dot... it seems unfair to request a target range over 50m on a torso sized target ...but who knows .. just push the limits ^^... and ... if u think that cant be done ... some other hard to do inspirations from the one and only Jerry Miculek (ruclips.net/video/5eHTsaCo03Q/видео.html ; ruclips.net/video/pAW3dlTMv6g/видео.html ) ... and dont complain about costs of broken scopes or sth ... ur channel has grown big enough to fund projects like this ^^...glhf ..

ps .. if u can pull this off at even 5m ... u achieved sth. most ppl dont even achieve in the game ..lol .. so .. sky is the limit .. and dont forget ur trigger discipline ... gun savety first XD
I went back and watched it three times and it really looks to me like I can see a hit in the dirt almost exactly between the two targets. I definitely do not see any target movement. Are you sure you aren't looking at video of the shot before which was not caught on the primary camera?
@@seanbreheny9777 It's a target impact. Usually on the 1k and 1.1k gong you'll see the target splash onto the left or right legs like that (with a center left/right hit). If it were a splash on the ground it would not be along the entire leg. That's likely a center right impact, because if it were a far right impact you'll see it move a lot more. If it were a miss, the splash would be much smaller, impacts spread the splash out the entire height of the leg with a right side deflection.
Oh and thanks a lot for the reticle overlays. Really appreciate the extra work. It makes it easier to understand what is going on, especially when English isn't your first language and you don't know much about long range shooting.
Reminds me of when I used to do archery back at university: my coach (who was part of the Paralympic GB coaching team) told me that it takes 1,000 arrows to fully adjust to any change in equipment. Even if the potential performance of that equipment was better, you always get at least a little worse before you fully adjust to the change and learn how to exploit that extra potential.
I'd say it's relative to your gear. When I jumped 60 years forwards in my compound my grouping shrank by 50%. The tech does make a difference at a certain point
Not necessarily true,bck in the day I went from a marksman kg1 after limb cracked to a borrowed yamaha eolla and the next day shot a new pb York by 50 points.

The AW changed the tactics of the Taliban during the fighting in Helmand. They suddenly found them self unable to approach within 1000 meters of British sangars and OPs with out instantly taking casualties. They switched to man packing DshKs up into elevated positions in the valleys or using PKs for harrasing fire. So then the Brits brought in .338 rifles and things got really interesting.
Ah, the men in sheds stories. The same thing happened in Formula 1 when Britain began to create cars that took on Ferrari and then beat Ferrari. I don't know if you're into F1 but that actually happened and drove Enzo Ferrari mad! 😂😂
@dyingearth You are, without question, correct. Nonetheless, the beauty of those astonishing "Men In Sheds" capability to engineer brilliant technologies gives me hope for the future. The products those incredibly talented people come up with seem to revolutionize their particular fields. As an engineer, I will continue to follow their progress and remain impressed with their ability to captivate the globe with their amazing creations. Enzo's ego drove him on. Yet, he slowly came to, not only appreciate their efforts but happily utilize them on his company's Formula 1 cars. Another Enzo quote regarding the Jaguar XKE, he called it the most beautiful car he'd ever seen. He was correct too, and I know that first hand. The father of a girlfriend of mine owned one. I helped him work on that beast, often. It is the most beautiful car I've ever seen, however, I'll keep my Mercedes CL 55 AMG. It's faster than an XKE and is undoubtedly more reliable. If you know anything about Jaguar vehicles at that time, they had their electric systems designed by Lucas, well known as "The Prince of Darkness." I find that so bloody funny, except for the fact that I once owned a 1966 Triumph TR4a IRS, featuring electrics from The Prince of Darkness. In other words, Lucas had the last laugh on ME. Bloody hell! 👍👍😎

The first of these rifles came to us in the late 80's around '88 if I remember rightly. I know we'd got them in time for the first Gulf War. They were a complete game changer at the time and we were still using them in 2003 in Iraq. The Schmitt and Bender scopes were incredibly accurate too and I cannot imagine not using the two together. Usual shots were 600-800m but we made hits out to 1000m. Great video and I really enjoy seeing your long range shooting. 🇬🇧
It took me a few moments to realize that was Josh and Henry doing the review. I thought Josh had a twin who didn’t wear glasses😎 great video, I have seen this rifle which I could never afford and I appreciate all that you guys do, thank you
When I was still in the RAF I did get some time on the accuracy international rifles on some of the bigger ranges here in the UK, as a complete beginner who was only trained on pistol and the LA85 variants A1 to A3 (the much knocked SA80) with coaching I was able to take the rifle out to distance so I'd disagree with you can't buy precision it's like the old steak verses a cheeseburger argument where a cheeseburger will feed you but given the choice you'd take steak. Good video I really enjoyed this one. All the best from Omagh Northern Ireland.
OMG this intro just got me back to like early 2000s when people used to make this "CS irl" videos they where mostly trash but dang people had so much fun and u could see that in those videos... thanks for the nostalgia trip
Got a lot of fond memories of the original L96a1. Unfortunately, like most kit that finds its way into the hands of a British squaddie, it was the lowest priced selection at the trials to replace the L42a1 so it “won”. You should be glad that you had 10x power for the long shots too. We had to make do with a fixed 6x42 S&B.
It was a bit different to 'cheapest available'. The story is quite complicated and involved people basically putting their careers on the line. You do those individuals a big disservice by repeating that tired old trope. I suggest watching this from Forgotten Weapons, which covers how the L96 was, when it appeared, revolutionary. ruclips.net/video/e0IvoKwvEbs/видео.html Now, as for the scope, that I can't comment on in detail. However time has passed and what was possible scope-wise in terms of clarity and robustness in 1985 was very different to today. Currently the current standard sniper equipment, the L115A4, uses the UK's third (IIRC) iteration of a S&B 5-25×56 scope. Working inside the science and technology part of MOD since 1986 all I can say is that, whilst cost comes into it, a lot more factors than 'the cheapest' comes into things. After all 'the cheapest' would have been just to keep L42s soldiering on in various levels of decrepitude and uselessness until the current day. OTOH every pound spent on one thing means a pound less spent on another thing - frustrating but true. And no we are not perfect, not by a long shot.

Brilliant At Last! Thank you for the upload🔥YEW! Even though it is just .308, 13 shots out of 40 fired...To 1000 Metres 👍 I’m just grateful this upload was made ✊
LmfAo at the video-game intro segment! Absolutely priceless. Hey, back in the early/mid 90's I was running the old Steyr SSG (pre-P2) in the field. (Tried a couple of different optics...) It would be fantastic to see you guys put one through it's paces with an appropriate milspec scope from the era. And I would imagine there are probably a bunch of them floating around these days, since they went pretty much completely out of vogue some 10 - 15 yrs ago.
Finally! I've waited for this video for a very long time. Edit: I wished this was the .338 LM version instead of the 7.62 NATO version. Oh well, I guess you can't have it all.
I connected more often than not once dialed in at a 6x8” swinger at 600 yards, using a range buddy’s accuracy international 6.5CM. Journal says, “98° zero wind, air feels stagnant.” Very very high-quality rifle and perfect trigger. Now I’ll start the video to hear your impressions.
Oh, the frustration of as_tundra (sorry, that was until CS 1.5, not 1.6) where you couldn't buy the AWP if you played as special forces, you had to find one dropped by the opposing side.
I recently was looking at a Lever Action by Henry that uses a magazine instead of a traditional tube to feed the gun, and with a 6 locking bolt I would imagine it has very similar accuracy to a bolt gun, and my first thought was to come over to y'alls channel and ask y'all to do a practical accuracy video of it. It's the Henry Long Ranger in .308 or 30-06 whichever you prefer. EDIT: It's also in 6.5 now as well so I would expect it to put out some serious competition.
You just convinced me that my money would be better spent on training and putting more rounds through my 700 ADL before I buy that TRG-42 I have been window shopping.

And I would imagine there are probably a bunch of them floating around these days, since they went pretty much completely out of vogue some 10 - 15 yrs ago.
Liked for the intro. Double liked (in spirit) for the rifle.
Finally! I've waited for this video for a very long time.
Edit: I wished this was the .338 LM version instead of the 7.62 NATO version. Oh well, I guess you can't have it all.
I have been waiting for this for quite a while when i spotted it in one of your other videos!
This channel just keeps getting better and better holy shit
Awesome work as always Gentlemen, thanks for the great content!
Definitley nice to see your holds on screen as you shoot..Great video
The sound in this video was great!
I love this video so much! The start is perfect. Reminded me of those late summer nights in high school, haha.
Lol the intro was gold. Brings back so many CS 1.6 memories. Those were the good ole days...
These guys even talk about the doc. Thanks for the video guys really good
Usually i just watch and dont comment - but damn that intro gave me flashbacks. Did not expect that type of gaming humor but really appreciate it.
You can clearly see the vapor trail of the bullet. That's awesome
Love ur intro song man...just sounds so epic and never dies.
I love the subtle meme-yness of you guys. Brilliant channel and videos!
Great video and very informative I’ve always been curious about the AE rifle.
You’ve discovered something adding the DOPE to the video.
I connected more often than not once dialed in at a 6x8” swinger at 600 yards, using a range buddy’s accuracy international 6.5CM. Journal says, “98° zero wind, air feels stagnant.”
Very very high-quality rifle and perfect trigger. Now I’ll start the video to hear your impressions.
Technical and personal interpretation was excellent.
thank you for showing your holds. it helps me a lot.
Most beautiful yet simple rile ever made ❤
An exceptional rifle with a great shooter, very enjoyable to watch.
I CANNOT wait for the ZFK-55 video. That's my all time grail rifle.
Your channel deserves a million subscribers
Guys...found you only recently. Enjoying the hell out of your work. Thank you and keep it up. Test a Grendel!
Sweet work with that US Optics scope.
BUY ME AWP I'LL PICK MID
Oh, the frustration of as_tundra (sorry, that was until CS 1.5, not 1.6) where you couldn't buy the AWP if you played as special forces, you had to find one dropped by the opposing side.
@@Hydrazine1000 I can actually buy a FAMAS on T side, but this is because I am a Silver Elite Master and my dad works for valve.
@@StoliTheWise *Attention RUclips users, Bullshit has been called*
@@abrb1223 Allegedly.
This intro always gets me hyped😍❤️
You used the actual audio clip from CS1 of the AWP firing... Respect. Respect.
these videos keep getting better
I recently was looking at a Lever Action by Henry that uses a magazine instead of a traditional tube to feed the gun, and with a 6 locking bolt I would imagine it has very similar accuracy to a bolt gun, and my first thought was to come over to y'alls channel and ask y'all to do a practical accuracy video of it. It's the Henry Long Ranger in .308 or 30-06 whichever you prefer.
EDIT: It's also in 6.5 now as well so I would expect it to put out some serious competition.
I instantly clicked the like button as soon as I started to hear the CS intro! lol! :D
You just convinced me that my money would be better spent on training and putting more rounds through my 700 ADL before I buy that TRG-42 I have been window shopping.
Nice video, you guys help people shoot from a more informed mentality.
Thanks David! It's been a long (but interesting) journey that we are still on to learn about shooting!
@@9HoleReviews Me much longer than you, fired my first rifle in 1959, still practicing and hopefully learning.
0:28 Seeing Rooftop Actual made my day.
I love the mentioning of Ian @ ForgottenWeapons, Karl @InRangeTV and Slavik at the beginning of the vid!!!
You sir, you know what you are doing. Thanks for showing. 🇳🇱👍🏻🇺🇲
It would be nice if you test the SAKO TRG 42 (338LM)
sometimes you don't see rifles on the show for a long time because i actually want to buy one. the TRG is one.
@@9HoleReviews with a good steiner M7Xi 4-28x56 😎
Leo Nidas
I'll take a SWFA 10 fixed, for 300 Alex.
@@9HoleReviews, pretty please!
I would like to see you out the TRG 22 up to 1100 yards.
And if you can a Steyr SSG 69 as well that would be awesome.
