RPR guy chose violence on running that bolt! 😂
He was very shakey as well
Honestly I have one and racking it smoothly is impossible so you rack it like you stole it lol
In prs there was I knack I used which was roll the bolt know in your hand .
Just like the SKS guy did with the trigger
Him chambering the round was louder than the actual shots fired
🤣🤣🤣
Factory Ruger and factory ammo and only shooting for two months is mighty impressive. No need for high end custom rifles and hand loads
Gentleman definitely has his priorities in order. Done need no $5k plus pea shooter to shoot good when under 2000 will git r dun.
not a single one of the "high end' rifles can feed 12 rounds without a miss feed, shocking
Open sight, guys. Why? At least freaking try.
@@politicalfisherman540 he might as well stood up and shot from the shoulder
@@hood182ie exactly
Shooting in Texas with a guy from Texas whos name is "Stetson", PERFECT!
😂
Second shot looked like it actually hit, with the big guy.
@@ErikCortina Just a thought for April fools next year Sir. Similar to your "bullet modifications" from a few years ago. "Chad" comes on and cleans the challenge with irons and zero misses. Rifle could be a bone stock 10/22 or USGI M16 clone or something like that. Ammo could be whatever is cheap mag dump/plinking ammo, or even just a zip lock bag of random leftover cheap rounds from over the years. you could have him do it rapid fire, possibly off hand from the standing. His attitude could be something along the lines of "that was the easiest thing I've ever done, I don't know why you guy keep saying this is hard". I you're feeling extra froggy, you could make him a "Marine". I was a combat infantry Marine, and I'd find it hilarious. Anyway, keep up the good work Sir!
Stetsons running his rifle was art.
Erik- thanks again for letting me (Lawrence from San Angelo) shoot. This was a load of fun and you are a great host! I highly recommend anyone who is interested go out and do this! Very much worth the drive. The other guys were fun too.
Thanks for giving it a try. You shot well.
Magpul bipod FTW. I don't count their second run. @txpreadatorhunting @txkiller
@@eliaswebster937 that bipod will be going away soon. I’ve never really liked it and the more research I do, I’m going to change it to an AccuTac.
Well done Lawrence. You had good composure through the shoot. Pity the mag issue rattled you a little but in that wind it was a great Blackjack.
@@eliaswebster937I like mine, especially for the price
Laurence, two months shooting long range with factory ammo, wow.
Thanks. I’m definitely hooked - unfortunately for my wallet….
@@boogerzekesweldingemporium4833 How hard was it to find a good factory match for your rifle?
Are you going to start reloading? (That's another learning rabbit hole and money pit right there)
@@SpaceFrawg I reload for .223 and 45-70 already. I have all the equipment to start with the 6.5 but I’m not sure if I’ll do it. It takes so much time and I’m not sure it worth it for me as a casual non competitive shooter. Those Hornady 147gr factory loads are fine for me at the moment. It didn’t take long to find that out. My local gun store was helpful in giving me advice to narrow it down before I spent millions trying to work through a whole bunch of different rounds. Of course I might decide to reload after I get settled in my new house later this summer.
@@boogerzekesweldingemporium4833 Maybe those welding fine motor skills transfer well to shooting ??
Nothing is more satisfying than the newest shooter, with the cheapest rifle and ammo keeping right up with 10k setup and hand loads. None of that extra shit matters. At the end of the day skill prevails.
10k and barely beat the Ruger. Gives us poor boys some hope!!!!!!!😂
All equipment being relatively good, It's the man behind the trigger. But; spending over 10K on a rig, it definitely shows when it's you...
the gear is the final 10%. the first 90% is the shooter. ive seen people shooting thin barrel savage rifles win tactical BR matches filled with AI's and custom builds.
IT aint the gun, its the mind behind it! @@McgSpook
The Ruger did have a lot of feeding issues.
I ve seen RPR preform while. But you are right it’s the shooter at the end of the day.
6ft low 4ft high "Cheap Ammo" lmao
Seeing the SKS in the thumbnail had me laughing. I love those rifles but they aren't known for their long range prowess and the Russian steel case surplus ammo is some amazing stuff. Kind surprised that all of them fired. Pretty good shooting on his part to even get as close as he did.
Man that first guy really needs to slow down. He probably would have cleaned if he would have not tried to go as fast as he possibly could
"That's why you ride shotgun, Cuz you can't drive straight either!!!" 😂😂😂 they were annoying at first but when they started the mulligans the banter was effing hilarious hahaha
Nah kinda annoying the whole time
@@XuroX. True, American humour is so mediocre.
Sks guy "cheap ammo"😂
He would've totally hit them all if he'd just had some match ammo.
The way he was hitting that trigger can't be helping
@@CCW1911 -Do they make match ammo for the SKS?- Yes they do. Hornady has a line of Match ammo in 7.62X39. Not that it would probably help him much.
@@nocturnalspecialties642 for some reason that really bothered me...
it was very funny. chinease gun seem not good with cheap ammo
Wow, the Ruger RPR representing yeah, let’s go for the boys with the budget Rifles
I have an RPR and a custom GA Precision, both in 6mm Creedmoor. The Ruger is clunky to run and the GAP is smooth as glass. The RPR shoots right along with the GAP with identical ammo.
1st guy reloads faster than an automatic! lol
the heckling made this funnier than usual to watch 🤣 I was thinking happy gilmore😁
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes! Been waiting for this...
Howling at the SKS guy... That gun couldn't be less accurate if you loaded it with rocks.. 😂😂😂😂
Was he yanking the crap out of the trigger to get more velocity out of that crap ammo? Maybe he missed a zero on the yardage when he signed up?
Also shooting on his elbows like that. He was doing himself no favors. Cool to see though.
don't blame the gun when the guy was wobbling from side to side
The sks is fairly accurate with a bipod or bags. It’s not a precision rifle by any means but a bipod does help. Not to mention he was jerking the trigger.
Erik.the guys on.u tube average shot wants to do your challenge
They are very good shooters on last video said they want to do it how do they reply to.u
Thanks man! Yes we are looking forward to an invite for sure!
@@shanebell9589hey that’s us! Yes we would love the opportunity to try your challenge. My wife and I regularly shoot with Shane and Molly on their farm
Awesome! I’m Shane’s wife Molly, maybe all 4 of us can come do your challenge.
@@BellsFarmingyes Shane Molly Maranda and I would love to try out the challenge!
Please erik..do wife's vs guys edition 🙏 would be epic those girls can shoot
🤣🤣🤣 The Testicle Festival shirt!!
Another great video. The new to guns and shooting long range competitor did outstanding. He has been bit and has it in his blood now!
Hahaa, we've all got that brilliant friend who would heckle & you know it's a damn good friend hahaha
Brilliant shooting by all but...
The gent with the SKS...as good as they all were, he's the legend.
He went all out with the hardest task up against him. Top respect for giving it a go and was down to earth all the way.
They were all great sportsmen but Justin was a real winner.
Well played Dustin, very well played sir!!! All thumbs up!!!
Great challenge.
My son and I have decided to get back into our 2 local groundhog matches. Last match was 2017 for me.
We both gonna run .243.
The longest range goes out to 800 yds.
Thanks much as your channel is inspirational.
Good job for the new guy getting a black jack!
You know Eric. I usually wouldn't comment but those guys are really annoying. You might want to say something to the people off camera. It doesn't sound good for your video.
I was thinking the same thing.
I hope those two guys do NOT come back. Absolutely annoying. Be decent and just be quiet. Shoot as lousy as they talk
Man thank goodness the running the bolt drill was practiced and not how to dial the scope....
The heckling friend calling out the misses was hilarious
Good stuff Eric! Watching the other events as well, Xring, Backfire, Texas Plinking. This was entertaining and thanks to the competitors for helping to make it so...
Glad you enjoyed it!
FYI if you're running your bolt faster than you can feel it pick up and chamber the round, you're running the risk of a misaligned bullet to be pushed back into the cartridge causing a overpressure situation that could leave you with a face full of shrapnel. But you would look Tac-ti-Cool doing it 😉
RPR guy needs to chill.
Heckling before and after is good fun. Heckling during just lacks class.
Yeah once would have been a haha moment but every shot is just mad annoying
I love this challenge. Thanks Eric. Love your channel very informative I also am interested in every aspect of long range shooting. Thanks
If these open sight guys keep showing up unprepared and just blindly slinging bullets downrange we're all going to lose interest. He didn't even setup the sights for that range.
Laurence is a killer out there! Awesome performance.
Love watching friends help each other out like that. Reminds me of the military days.
Think it is a bit childish to heckle someone when they are shooting.
We seriously need Henry from 9Hole reviews to do the open sight challenge!!!
That was fun to watch!
I really enjoyed the two buddies giving each other a hard time like friends do.
The SKS was fun to watch too. He did far better than I would have at that range with the same setup. I'd like to see him come back with better ammo and see what he can do with that.
“Cheap ammo” he says hahaha
Ngl i was really happy with people starting to try with irons and now im like why did some of these people even show up.
Guys in Texas cheap Chinese SKS cheap Surplus ammo it’ll do pretty good😂
Erik, I know you’re an F Class guy and the big guns are your thing but…..why not setup a rimfire Blackjack? Say 300 yds with same iron sight challenge. Or maybe 250yds….. maybe size them 6,5,4,3,2,1 in diameter We poor old farts who can maybe see 200-300 yds and can’t afford Nightforce glass, could have a chance. I have tuned CCI green tags and feel I might have a chance at the first 3 but in your everyday winds on that range, the rimfire challenge is real. Oh and it is your new EC V2 tuner that really made a difference. On 0 flush it went from .38 to sub .25 @ 50 and found many hits on 4” steel at 200yds but after that to 300, its gonna be tough to blackjack
Plus you might increase sales on tuners for the rimfire guys who truly have a quest to make peas go plink!
Yeah the way that first guy was running that bolt was super aggressive. Maybe Rugers require a lot of force to chamber. The second Ruger shooter was just as aggressive. Also very noisy cycle.
SKS and factory ammo and its not even April first....
SKS had no chance. Ammo aside that trigger jerking was a sight for sore eyes.
I have a Ruger Precision and Tikka Tac A1 Both Tac drivers with factory ammo ! Mine feed pretty well ! Any way " IT''S THE INDIAN NOT THE ARROW " .. as long as your equipment is up to par it's the Indian pulling the trigger that's the most important variable .. I think that's obvious.. IMO
Thanks Eric and to all the shooters who participated and put it all on the line ! That was great as always...
Thank you.
Dude with the SKS, Get that trigger pull corrected!
If you choose factory ammo you are tying one arm behind your back. Not saying it can't be done but it's not ideal
As the SKS warms up, it starts stringing shots vertically. You'll go crazy chasing them. Just keep aiming at the target. Eventually, one with land on it.
Watching that guy slap that trigger on the SKS made my finger hurt.
I look forward to this series. Hope it continues.
I've always wondered if slaming the bolt home like our first punter is doing messes with the seating depth of the round? You'd be likely to ran that projie straight back into the case.
Yep!
The rounds on target say otherwise.
@@SpaceFrawg in this specific case, depends on the firearm. Ever pulled a non fired case out of the chamber and notice a smashed tip, dented, etc? I have!
@@BRADASSOFFGRIDHOMESTEAD
The rounds on target tell me one of two things:
1. He is not; smashing the tip, denting the tip, or pushing the bullet back into the case.
2. If he is doing any of those things or a combination of those things, it doesn't matter... at least at 500 yds.
@@BRADASSOFFGRIDHOMESTEAD
Check out video, Ruger RPR to 1,100 yds 6.5 cm (it's the top result)
... He is not babying that bolt either. Someone else commented here that you have to run the bolt on a RPR like you stole it.
😂😂😂😂😂 the trash talk was to funny 😂😂😂😂😂
those "hecklers" made me turn off the video.
The dude with the Okie Special actually edge hit the first target on the second shot. Also, the guy with the Okie special needs to get some training from the Okie JTAC folks 🤌🏼
I appreciate the open sights guy for having a crack, but a bit of preparation woulda got at least one hit. He could have found some good factory ammo, or made up some better reloads... and he could have practiced his trigger squeeze(or lack thereof).
My boi slapped that trigger harder than Ol''mate with the ruger ran his bolt.
Justin needs to swap that SKS, a bottle of vodka, and another pickup truck for a Mosin-Nagant.
He should also learn how to use the trigger…dude was slapping her harder than an Irishman after a night of drinking
@@christopherbenfield7848I had to watch it again but, you're right, what he was doing to that trigger takes the title away from Courtney Love for wicked snatch.
@@SpaceFrawg 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great competition. Looks like a good time.
Looks like a complete hoot. If I could take my body pre-spinal abuse and come shoot I'd do it in a heartbeat! Old and shaky as hell, I'm lucky to be 1 MOA or under at 100 anymore with a good scope! Usually more like 1.5 or more. Sloppy compared to young me! 500 yard soda cans with a 9x scope used to be our wagering standard. It got weirder with some challenges, shooting nails partially implanted in the top of fence posts at 100 was a complete hoot. Young, stupid, cheap ammo..... I miss the 80's.
I know nothing about long range shooting other than a few RUclips videos. I was wondering how a CheyTac intervention would stack up in this competition
The crap talking friends wad awesome need more of those friends in videos. Mad respect to the sks guy with no bag or rest.
Yeah this was a good episode
The guy with the sks should have used his magazine as a rest
I'm frankly amazed at how many magazine and feeding issues people had (mostly of their own making). They're obviously competent individuals, so I think the learning here is that you need to practice under timed exercises to work out those kinks.
I couldn’t think of a worse rifle than a SKS for this challenge. That gun shoots groups in different zip codes. Then to add cheap ammo onto it. That’s rough business. I’d like to do the challenge at some point.
all these super expensive rifles and many have trouble chamberin a dang round !!!
I don't understand doing a challenge with cheap ammo, 1 box of decent ammo would help. Even if you do t blackjack, the appearance on the channel would be more solid...maybe. 🤷♂️
Thought the RPR guys shooting factory Ammo did really well. Something you dont see. I never have feeding issues with my 300PRC just saying...
squeeze the trigger, not jerk
Eric love watching these videos. I'm a newbie to the precision stuff. Can't do prs stuff because of my back. I would like to see a challenge of nothing but factory rifles. I think that would be cool. I'm shooting a aero precision solus in 6.5 needsmore. LoL
Ive watched a number of Jackpot videos. I notice that many shooters have difficulties with the feeding rounds while shooting. Seems like a problem for many.
If someone with swis k31 took that challenge maybe that would have been fruiltful.
come on Dude, to hit a 2 x2 " target is virtually impossible with iron sights ,. 2"square target very difficult to see at 500 yds . On top of that a knats fart of gas will push you off by several inches.
Holy shit - the poor poor RPR - I bet the first guy has a stock load of replacement bolts in his closet.
If you shoot 500yds with an SKS, move your rear sight to the 500 mark. He obviously didn't and couldn't hit shit.
Wait seirously only 500 yards and I can get 5k for my surgery..can I come over no worries from me I'm autistic I really do need that type of money ooo that would change my health
If you win the jackpot of $5k then that covers your flight, room n board, food, and maybe a couple extra bucks in your pocket lol
"Cheep ammo" no just poor trigger control. Flicking it and nothing close to precision shooting. You can see the finger making a crazy pull. But nice challenge!
SKS guy gave himself a lot of obstacles to overcome. No bags, surplus ammo...and of course, open sights.
no evidence it was the ammo when he was shaking like a shitting dog
@@hood182ie Shitting dog with Diarrhea passing a chicken bone !! lmfao
Lack of skill is a big obstacle as well...
oh no I was screaming when the second guy's magazine wasnt seated fully :-o . He did excellent overall though
Texas wind doesn't blow, it sucks. AZ blows, TX sucks and we're stuck in the middle here in NM
Best shooter of a lot the lot the hand held Ironside guy. Iron sights no bipod windy day cheap ammo 500 yd that guy was amazing!
Wind in Texas HA ! One day the wind stopped blowing in south Dakota ! And everyone fell down !
Crazy how the people Blame their gear after boasting how accurate their rigs are
Sks probably was capable of hitting at least the first 3 targets 😂
Bro lies about his experience on job interviews and hopes it works itself out
😂 lol SKS yeah NO! maybe if they were doing a competition shooting into trash 30 yards away
That first guy cost himself alot of time by trying to run his bolt that fast. The dude with the crap ammo in a Bubba special SKS was also fantastic.
Friends trash talking friends is always the best!
Kudos to guy that brought the sks and surplus ammo
You can get away with a “cheap” firearm but it doesn’t work that way with ammo. Gotta get the good shit for ammo if nothing else
WAY TO GO LAWRENCE! 2 Mo shooter with a workin' mans set up gets the blackjack! Way to represent! Beats golf every day of the week. Probably cheaper too!
SKS guy resting on his elbows and punching the trigger, then blames the ammo
Great challenge as always- maybe us fellow Texans will ride out one day!
Not a fan of the heckling in the background. Let the man shoot
Aren’t you the concrete guy? Sorry if it gets asked a lot you just look very familiar
All these high dollar rifles that won't even chamber a round
Breaking his barrel in 🤣
Lawrence is the man.
Didn’t help Bro with the SKS that he was incredibly unstable the entire time.
Now do this with factory hunting rifles we all can buy over the counter.
"How long ya'll been married?"😂😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome video as always!! SKS man got close, cheap ammo was the issue 😬
I'm hoping to go try it and not embarrass myself on the challenge. Hopefully I won't get left unsupervised 😂😂
Cheap ammo was not the issue and he was not close at all. Watch how he punches the trigger on the last "shot" when the action was open. He had not idea what he was doing.
$10000 for a rifle.I seen a guy take a twenty two ruger in do better than that lol.
Lesson #1: don’t spend 10k on a setup because you’re just going to get heckled every time you go to shoot
It’s called an “Okie special” for a reason. There are many like it in competitions.
3:27 was cringe to watch. dude rechambering rounds like that does not make you look cool
