My Practical Precision Rifle System- Lets Test It!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 июл 2024
- Long range shooting requires more than just an accurate rifle.... it requires a collection of supporting equipment working together to create a system that allows the shooter to quickly and effectively put rounds on target at distance. I recently shot the Steel City Rifleman's Challenge match in central Alabama which provided me a great opportunity to see how my system working in a practical long range match. This match isn't your typical PRS match.... this match has long stage times and unknown targets which require the shooter to effectively employ their full precision rifle system in order to make hits. I had a blast shooting this match and want to bring you along for a look at how my system performed!

Probably the best video showing real match results and techniques. Please make more of these!
Awesome to hear you enjoyed watching! Appreciate the support!
I like the mix between match and talking through the longer practice sessions
@MountainsMulletsMerica love your formal style. Well spoken. Not a bunch of cuts to cheesy memes or sound edits. Just good info. Love this channel
The match content is awesome. The explaining during
shooting is great
Very Cool. Thank you for walking us through the match. I like the match content but I've learned a ton off your ballistic videos. Keep up the great work.
Match content just adds a dimension to your channel it’s good!
Really great match walk through. Please do more of these.
Old and new content (matches) are both very appealing
That range finder is amazing to bad I will never be able to afford one I have 5 kids and we all know how expensive they are I watch all your videos you are the most informative and helpful out of all the channels on this platform
Trade the worst one for a rangefinder
I loved the match content. I love all your content.
Very impressive. Thanks for sharing. Your videos are always inspiring to pushing myself.
As always, super content and excellent learning points.
Excellent and informative video! Great job on that match!
Appreciate this perspective, Thank You 🙏🏼
Love you videos man so informative
Thank you! Really cool to hear you’re finding value in my content. I’ve got a ton of new content In the works so hope you’ll stay tuned to check it out!
Been sub’d to the channel for a while now, glad to see the growth! Keep up the great shooting content!
Everything you are doing is spot on! I really enjoy your content and wouldn't change a thing.
The garmin cranked it out of the park with that Chronograph! Fantastic tool thats small and lightweight!
Excellent content, shooting, and presentation! Keep up the fine work! Glad to be a subscriber that’s for sure, thank you very much!
I like the match footage. Keep it coming.
Congrats on your match! Would love to see more match content!
This was really awesome. And your presentation is so good. I don't really watch long form content but this was enjoyable and I learned a lot.
Both types of content. Nice to see things on the clock but also nice to see things not on the clock.
Great content as always
Congratulations! You really hit the bulls eye between useful information and entertainment!
Great vid. The actual match footage is awesome and the stage breakdowns and the AAR at the end.
Good video as always
Super interesting. It showed just how challenging that match was
Good job, keep the vids coming.
I think a mix of reviews, techniques, and match coverage would be awesome. I'm just getting into prs with a 6arc ar, and getting the whole picture on the sport helps connect things. Great channel!
Awesome video! Really enjoying this content!
Thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel!
Nice Job! Great content with really good info on your setup. I like the stages of the match and the idea behind them. Good to see some Target Detection skills being put into play. A more realistic match for the 2 way rifle range.
Yes, please attend more matches and show more content like this.
1 Shot... 1 Kill! B4!
Lots of great info in this video 👍
Glad to hear you found value in watching! Appreciate the support!
Great job with the video. Prefer longer range ballistic and equipment comparison but like the match content as well. Your explanation of the details in ranging targets is excellent. The Vortex unit is very nice. I have the Vortex range finding binoculars with ballistic calculator, but convinced the rifle mounted unit is the way to go. Thanks for the effort to produce great content. Take care!
Good stuff. Keep making a mix of content.
I enjoyed this insight into the match.
I probably enjoy your instructional and ballistics content more though.
I say, keep up both!
Thanks for sharing.
I like both content. I want to learn and see the application of the knowledge. Good videos.
Great job and great shooting. I’m to old and fat with disabilities at my age. I enjoy both since I do the moving and setup. Really enjoy the video and is nice to see how the equipment works in action.
I enjoyed this content and would like to see more.
Such an informative video. I'd love to one day try a competition like this just to test my skill and abilities.
Awesome video. Don’t change anything
Your setup is awesome. Looks pretty heavy.
Love the videos man. Generally, one of the best on the platform, so don't take this the wrong way. I'm generally curious how you can afford all these systems that you use in your videos. From what I can tell you have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, easy. I have a decent paying job and work an insane amount and can barely afford to put food in my fridge. I don't expect you to disclose what you do for a living and I'm not complaining because it provides us with awesome content, lol. It just kind of blows my mind how much disposable income you have, lol. Keep up the good work.
Thank you 😊
Great video!
Thank you! Really appreciate your support of my channel!
This place looks like so much fun!
It’s an epic place to shoot! If you’re in the southeast you should 100% keep an eye on their schedule and make plans to attend a match there!
Great video with awesome insights to that match. Your explanations are very helpful as always. This kind of video is for sure welcome in the future too.
What about a video of the Ally Munitions manufacturing process? You were there and hopefully recorded some footage?
great vid man
Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
This look like a great time.
Nice job man!
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and continue to support the channel!
Great video. I prefer your original style of content. With that said, I enjoy viewing field style matches with after action summary. Keep up the good work!
Great feedback and I appreciate the support! I’ve got another match style video in the plan for the next couple weeks and then it’ll be a return to my normal content structure. Was thinking if folks enjoy these kinds of videos I would start shooting more match focused videos but seems like match videos are hit or miss for folks.
I'll have to check out that Ammo. Fun looking match!
Plese make more videos like this as I had no idea that there were practical long distance matches. This is definitely something I need to explore further and try. I too have an LMT LM308MWS with the 16" & 20" barrel, but with an Arken EP5. I'm going to my first PRS match tomorrow as an observer as I'm just getting into this type of competitive shooting. I used to compete in service rifle, but these eyes need magnified optics nowadays! Thanks for the great content.
Well, you were in my neck of the woods...wish I knew this event was happening ahead of time.
I really like that type of match where you would have to essentially break out your rangefinder to find out the distance and then i guess you would use your kestrel for wind the tripod for stability and so on sounds extremely fun
Looks like a fun field match and good shooting. Glad to see the LMT MWS in action. Also got the Vortex Impact as well. Can’t wait to use it.
You should check out Major Land’s Sniper Cup located in Virginia if you’re looking for similar matches like this on the East coast.
Enjoyed the video!
Very interesting ❤. Hopefully it will be here California.
Stage 3 looks real fun! Would love to shoot a match like this one day.
Vortex vs Wilcox range finder would be a great video!!
The best video ive seen.... Looks like so much fun.... How'd your buddy do?
He had a tough go in this match and ended 18th out of the 20 shooters if memory serves me correct. It’s been about 7 years since he shot a match though so plenty of rust to knock off haha
This is where a reticle with built in range estimation features would be awesome.
I like this style of presentation. I haven’t had a chance to shoot PRS style matches but I would be rocking a bone stock Savage 110 tactical in .308, a knock off Harris bipod, a flash hider, and a Viper 5-25 Gen 2. For the tripod I’m running a Peak Designs tripod. It’s alright but I wouldn’t buy it again. I do like gear reviews as well but seeing the system work together is cool and it helps gives context to the gear reviews.
Burris Eliminator 6 type scope with built-in range finder would probably be a good alternative to your setup. Awesome content 👍
Awesome video! You have alot of great tools to help you be successful in a match like this. Im curious though as you mentioned you timed out on some stages, did your buddies also time out with using the more traditional style tools? Its pretty sweet your getting all this support from other companies for gear and tools! This would be a fun match, im wondering if they do something like this in Washington.
Excellent match footage, nice work!
Ever looked into PRS 22 rimfire competition? I'm looking to dip a toe into PRS by competing in the factory class to see if I like it. I'd be very interested to see your thoughts on rimfire competition if you're looking for future topics.
Supressed is the way.
Yessir! Once you go suppressed you never go back!
Went to Ally to buy ammo to support your sponsor in mid-April - and they were out of stock on about 60%+ of their inventory. None of what I needed 308 and 6ARC was available. Tell the boys down in Texas that sponsoring ammo/advertising, creating demand, driving traffic at the web store is a complete waste if you can’t plan inventory management. I get it that having a stock-out of one or two skus will happen from time to time but to have half or more of the items unavailable means something is wrong with the business. Don’t mean to be an azzhole - but if you don’t know what prevents customers that want to buy from you from doing so, you’re running blind. As always thanks for the content.
Awesome video man, I'm sure you know, but shooting matches without the can and using a break will make you more competitive. I do the same thing a lot of times because cans are awesome
Yep no argument from me here… a good brake can certainly provide a better recoil impulse and could be an advantage in a prs type match. My opinion a practical rifle should be equipped with a suppressor so that’s why I run almost 100% suppressed…. Willing to give up some performance to get the benefits of the can. Funny you mention suppressors though…. From what I saw out of 20 shooters in this match, only 2 were unsuppressed
Surprisingly your one of the only long range shooters that likes a single stage trigger. Most praise s 2-stage
Oh I prefer 2 stage and that’s what I historically shoot. I just swapped to the ballistic engineering because it was sent to me and found myself pleasantly surprised.
@@MountainsMulletsMerica gotcha... What is your favorite gas gun 2 stage I'm in the market for one but I don't have any experience with them
@@MountainsMulletsMerica I have a blackout defense AR10 trigger in my 308 gas gun but you have to be super careful that you don't get bump fire
@@hopewilliams6705I really like the geissele SDE for a precision rifle. 2 stage trigger with a flat trigger is really nice for those precise shots.
Great videos as always, Zack. How do you like that Triggercam? I've been thinking about getting one of those or a digital scope to record daytime predator hunts.
Thanks
That’s a real slick lookin shirt bud 😉 I gotta get into shooting some matches
Thank you! Trying to class up the channel with some new shirts and hat haha. Maybe something I’ll look into selling one of these days.
Sounds like me when Inpointed out similar situations on the only Canadian firearms site called Canadian gun nutz
Loving this content! So, the Impact 4000 is zeroed to the reticle in the scope which is why you have to return to zero before ranging? And the one instance when it ranged at around 1400 yards happened because the range finder was looking at a distance well above/beyond your target due to the dial-up on the turret? I can then understand how that Tremor would be the ideal reticle to use with the Impact since it allows you to hold over for most elevations corrections and just leave the turret zeroed. Great video man!!
You nailed it! The rangefinder is only zeroed when your scope is set to zero. If you dial your scope it changes where the rangefinder is actually looking vs where you think it’s looking. And yes I agree with you…. This is a big reason why a reticle like the tremor 3 is useful. Allows you to take a lot of shots at distance without dialing your scope. Thanks for watching!
A suppressor cover will really cut down on heat mirage. If you regularly shoot 10-20 shot strings I’d probably add that to your gear.
Great point here! I used to run suppressor covers but don’t really mess with them anymore. As with anything, they certainly have their pros/ cons. Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Great video! Not a fan of adjustable gas blocks. Have you looked into just tuning and buffering the rifle correctly? I'd recommend Sprinco USA or Cedar Hill Armory if you need help.
Another great Vidja, I’m glad I’m came across your channel. I’m building a similar rifle now 1 question are you running their light weight profile or the standard profile. I know the standard 20” 6.5 weights in a a bit over 4lbs for the barrel. Thanks in advance and great job
When I bought this barrel there wasn’t any kind of lightweight profile option. I would say with almost total confidence this is their standard profile and yes it’s crazy heavy. Great shooter though as shown here
Fantastic….. My barrel should in tomorrow pretty much same set up as your minus the Impact4000 (to pricy at this point) and still bouncing around suppressor option, from a DA Nomad L or a AEM5 30 (DWilson to mod the barrel if I go that route) Again great content and set up. Great job at the match
I think doing 80-20% is good. 80% of one on one vids just going over products and shooting procedures and learning cool things and then the other 20% is matches.
Beginning shot looks like the optic is bending down under the weight🤣🤣🤣 Great video
How do your results compare to factory produced Hornady ELD-M?
What kind of bipod do you use?
I love your videos. Very informative.
God bless
Regarding your question about future content, I really liked this video because it incorporated multiple aspects of DMR or precision rifle. Terrain, gear, unknown distances. I HATE benchrest shooters because they have all day to prepare and tailor their gear to something specific. Rarely will a benchrest shooter be any good in SHTF or WW3 IMO... Being a good marksman includes any range. Honestly there should be some three gun matches that start at 7 yards and go to 1000.
Rour rifle is almost the same as mine except for ar 15 in 6 arc. 18 in oden works.
Man I’d like to run my dd5v3 in 1 just like this…run the 3x15viper..ssa-e..419hellfire and prs stock and trigger and brake were best upgrades as far as me bein able to shoot it better and spot impacts…had same issues as you at 1st short strokin from the hellfire but within 2wks it went away and all I can figure is port erosion put the extra gas to lockback and hit 3oclock..took ol fn spr to 800yrds last wkend with factory 168gmm it would lay em all dead on..very impressive factory rifle you need to track down…24” nonfluted non adjustable Macmillan stock 2.8lb factory trigger that feels better than my tt in waypoint…my #1 ninja👊🏻.matt in ky
Great video. Are there limitation in these matches ie can't add weight or can't use a comp?
No limitations that I’m aware of for this match. Pretty much a run what you brung kind of deal.
Noice
Another 2 quick ?’s…… so I’ve noticed you also use a few Nightforce 5-25 with Tremor 3, what are your thoughts in comparison……. Second I’m looking at ally for my 6.5 Cr you get a discount code?
what backpack was that, and what did you have in it? for practical match I'd say you need to have a day pack with water, food, poncho, etc.
A buddy of mine does a lot of elk hunting and he prefers backpacks with solid frames and doesn't use a bipod/tripod.
Will most PRS matches allow you to use the tripod the way you did throughout this match?
In comparison how was the scopes that you all used?
In order to recreate or simulate "real-world" scenarios a sniper could face in combat, are there any marksmanship matches in the U.S. that feature MOVING targets? Either anti-personnel or anti-material simulated targets? That would be very challenging indeed! Tm
For sure, I’ve shot several matches through the years that have moving targets. There’s a spot down in Florida as well as one in western TN that come mind and I’m sure there are many more. Movers are a ton of fun and offer their own unique challenges. Great point here!
is the Tract toric 4.5-50 good for 1 mile shots?
Is this caliber specific? Seems crazy lugging around a 20lb rig
What on the top of the scope in the back ?
The eye piece seems to be angled down .
It’s my triggercam 2.1 that I use to film through the scope. I had it loosely sitting on the scope as I had filmed a piece about how great their customer service was but decided to cut that out of this video due to length. Normally it would be mounted tight to the scope and in line to look through the glass.
What camera’s do you use for filming?
This video is all iPhone 14
You need a heat cover for your suppressor. No reason to fight that mirage. It will totally screw you in windless conditions.
Algoritmo comentario 😊
Just curious to why you are using a mounted rangefinder when the targets are already ranged and the distances are known
Targets on several stages in this match were unknown location and unknown range. That’s why I’d call this more of a practical rifle match vs something like a prs match
Wonder if they do that round where i love. Not that my body will cooperate!
I have to say, there isn't anything practical about that giant rifle. That would suck to hump around with all day. I obviously don't understand the word practical 😂. Excellent video, as usual.
Looking at those ally ammo prices, nah bro. I'll keep reloading. 65 dollars for 20 rounds of match 308 is disgusting.
Ultimately ally is premium ammo and priced as such…. You would 100% be able to reload at a lower cost looking purely at component cost. That said however I don’t believe the ally ammo is out of line for what you get… the $65 308 load is a 176 atip ($0.90 per) in Lapua brass ($1.20 per) so you’re already over $2 in cost with those 2 components alone. Then you have the benefit of not having to develop that load for your rifle, you don’t have to spend the time loading that ammo, and if you do reload you’ve got a great first firing on your Lapua brass for future handloads. I actually shot this exact load in my 308 barrel length compare video if you’re curious how it performs out of a couple of my rifles. Ultimately to each their own and I really appreciate you taking the time to check out my content and support the channel!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica I completely get what you're saying. The poor man that resides in me on the other hand would rather waste time reloading! Big fan of the channel, always a good watch!
Talk about stress oh man.
For some reason a bolt action rifle is better. Mr. Snipe told me to use a bolt action rifle.
