I think yall should invest in some cameras next to the targets. I couldn't even see if the targets shook let alone where they hit. Especially if you are that far out, have some cameras to help the viewer experience.
Agree. Lots of channels smaller than you guys use second and third cameras. On the other hand, you guys reviews are great, and you review most of my guns, including the much more accurate black 16 S!
Exactly in most of their videos the camera is much closer, you can usually watch the bullets fly through the air, and see the impact on target. Would have been great to see.
3ArtDigital yea I couldn't see shit... pretty boring vid.. couldn't see vapor trails, hits, or even hear the hits... just had to take their word when they hit I guess...
I'm not one of those guys who gets overly hung up on cosmetics because if you shoot it, it is going to get some wear. However, I did notice the considerable color variances too. I wonder if it changes with age, or different manufactures of the various assemblys ??
No its basically going to look that way it's whole life. The black version is better. But CZ with 805 BREN did a lot better job with FDE matched colors. Muuuuuch better.
I subbed to these guys at somewhere around 9000 subscribers years ago and I'm so happy I did. Their production value has gone up so far since then but they still act the same way all the time. It's great to see a channel like this rise the way they have. But now I have to go buy a scar lol
In reference to the comment y'all made about the travel time for the sound and the rounds: At 600 yards it would take the sound about 1.598 seconds to get back to you. And the flight time on those rounds at that range would be around 1.666 seconds. Just in case anyone actually cares. Have a good one. Love these videos.
has anyone else been been to the gun museum in Bass Pro in springfield yet??? now is the time to go while they have many many #1 SN guns still on loan from Remington. it's amazing that so many guns still exist that are so rare. equally amazing how many rare guns were just disregarded or lost.
It was a great concept but I could not see the hits and the mirage made the 600-yard target look like it was moving on its own. Personally, I would like to see it again with GoPro's set at each target so we can see what is happening, I am not saying I doubt your call outs but is more entertaining when we can see it. Also to make it more interesting paint a couple of watermelons white and put them at the same ranges. Anyway, good job and thank for all the effort you put in for us by building that platform so we can see long distance shooting. Keep up the good work
Thanks man. I'm not gonna lie, when I'm out n public especially at a gun show I get pulled in a million different directions. I think we were talking and another guy walking up and basically hijacked our conversation. If that was you I apologize for that. I try to spend time with everybody.
Since the Scar got some recent competition from the CZ Bren 805, how about a video on both ? Scar vs Bren ? Congrats on the platform btw, can't wait to see what y'all do with it next.
There should be CZ 806 at the beginning of 2017 for civilian market. There were many complains from czech army users about the weight, no stanag mags compatibility and complicated service of original Brens. 806 should reflect that.
We qualed with 5.56 at 500 yards with iron sights when I was in the Marines, and that was with old ass A2s. I don't see how this is hard with an optic and a stand and one of the fanciest rifles on the market.
matthew kluge Like the other guy said, you get 3 tries. If you don't get it the first time around you have to go back to the range during teamweek(at least I think that's when they had to retry it, it's been awhile) and try again, if you pass it that time you get to stay with your platoon and graduate on time, if you don't get it that time around you are going to have to go back in training and try it with a whole new platoon/company,even if you pass it that time you won't be graduating on time with your original platoon. If you fail it that time, you're done for. You're more than likely going to pass though, the instructors out on the range have that shit down to a science, as long as you listen to them and do as exactly as they say you're probably going to shoot expert. My best friend in recruit training was a jewish banker from New York City who had never even seen a gun in his life and even he shot expert(he's also now the mayor of Jersey City, Steven Fulop.).
Wait til you try the 55 grain standard Federal. You will really be impressed then. What a rifle. Thanks for the video. That 16S is so light and carries and shoots like a dream.
Another great video gentleman! Thanks for the entertainment and info ya'll provide. I'm an Infantry Drill down in Benning' and would love to shoot with you guys sometime! I've got Scar's, AK's, AR's and other fun stuff to contribute!
Hell yeah!! I Mr. Chad, I run a TA-33 on my nov 16in and it's beautiful. The RCO is a little more precise but all around I like the 33 as a general (all around) optic.. You guy's are the best!
this would have been a great application for Eric's drone cam. just have that little guy hovering out down there. great shooting as always though. looks like a ton of fun. givin' me a case of jelly
I think the SCAR is god damn beautiful. I like the squareness of it. It looks even better with an extended rail. But you're right. The 16S is almost useless. The 17S is the shit though. I regret selling it.
Eric just to let you know when you're building something like that shooting stand, it'll be a lot more stable if you put the cross-supports between the main wooden pillars as opposed to the way you nailed them into outside or insides.
Cool, I shoot .556 at 600 yards. On steel it is hard, even with a spotter. I found the Rubber Dummy target and man I can now see my impacts by myself with a spotting scope. You guys should really try the Rubber Dummy targets, they are really fun!!
If you place a piece of black electrical tape over some to most of the fiber optic on the ACOG, it will sharpen the reticule so that you can see your POA better.
just curious... does that scar come that way with none of the pieces matching? seems a little odd on the companies part. You'd think they would match the colors.
These rifles are super acurate. Got to shoot one today and was hitting steel consistantly at 400yards with irons. That front sight post is thin so it didnt block out the target. Sweet rifle but that price tag is high
y0u sh0uld g0 UNDER y0ur steps and nail a l0ng green 2x4's, flush t0 the b0tt0m 0f each riser.. it will make it str0nger and last much l0nger... when y0u cut the steps 0ut 0f th0se 2x12's it makes them weak and pr0ne t0 split. s0 d0ubling up a 2x4 al0ng the b0tt0m really helps.. its c0de where I live...
I just love Eric's work. So much detail, so much information, so much clarity communication with viewers. He entertains with his skill. that's what i love the most. Give him any weapon, he'll tell you in and outs of that thing after just firing 5 rounds.
Eric and Chad, that is a nice setup. Shooting off that platform or tower through those trees. Wish that I could shoot off of their. You should call it Victory Tower. We had one when I went through Basic Training at Fort Jackson, S.C.Thanks.Robert
Looks like fun! Idea for you guys: since we can't really see or hear your hits on camera at that range maybe you can try putting a mic at ~400 and sync the audio to the video so we can hear the impacts and the delay. Looking forward to seeing what else you bring out up there.
*Would love to see what kinda fun i could have out there with my 6mm i have put a round an inch away from center from a standing position strap stabilized @500 yards consistently problem is the ammo aint what you'd call cheap for this thing. but it's actually a really old gun too and sounds like a canon when it goes off. i shoot the remmington core-lokt 6mm 100 grain and they are pretty accurate however my dad and grandfather used to reload these themselves with 120 grain and OMG the difference is HUGE the thing shoots totally different that way*
Very cool guys. Bravo Zulu! The tower is the sh!$. What an awesome way to increase your range. I am looking forward to some distance shooting videos with a heavier pill.
556x223 that is the projectile. only diff being military rounds are hotter. If it was 556x45 that would be so visible in the dirt. great shooting platform!!!
For videos like this I wish that had one of those sights Richard Ryan has that records video through the optic. Then we could see there holds and what they see.
That ACOG has short eye relief because it has a monster field of view. That's the trade off. You can't have both very wide field of view and long eye relief. I personally prefer wider field of view.
So now that you have a shooting platform, are you going to re-visit some of the previously fired rifles and push the limits. maybe a tavor, or a surplus rifle.
Eric is a great host, and so is Chad. But for my money, Chad is probably one of the most accurate shooters on RUclips.
I think yall should invest in some cameras next to the targets. I couldn't even see if the targets shook let alone where they hit. Especially if you are that far out, have some cameras to help the viewer experience.
We are working on it. You know we don't half ass anything
***** Awesome! Thank you for the response! Love your videos.
Agree. Lots of channels smaller than you guys use second and third cameras. On the other hand, you guys reviews are great, and you review most of my guns, including the much more accurate black 16 S!
Next time, can you guys place a camera near the targets? can't really see the group...
Exactly in most of their videos the camera is much closer, you can usually watch the bullets fly through the air, and see the impact on target. Would have been great to see.
Agreed, maybe a gopro right in front of the target or a camera with a high optical zoom ☺
3ArtDigital yea I couldn't see shit... pretty boring vid.. couldn't see vapor trails, hits, or even hear the hits... just had to take their word when they hit I guess...
Hoss Cartwright hey hoss, it papay!! didn't know u like to shoot brother! hit me up on Facebook bro!
Just put your binoculars up to the computer screen bro
I could shoot 600 yards with a 22short, free handed, with my eyes closed, standing on a water bed during a tornado.
that's nothing I could have done all of that while falling into a black hole at the same time.
+johnnyboy922 😂😂 that's funny
I can do the same but with my pellet rifle.
Well, I bet everybody can shoot that far with a 22short. Hitting anything is going to be the challenge.
Who still makes waterbeds...?
@12:27 "Shoot that damn gopher over there!"
"My favorite thing about the FDE SCAR is how the colors blend together so well."
-Nobody
I'm not one of those guys who gets overly hung up on cosmetics because if you shoot it, it is going to get some wear. However, I did notice the considerable color variances too. I wonder if it changes with age, or different manufactures of the various assemblys ??
No its basically going to look that way it's whole life. The black version is better. But CZ with 805 BREN did a lot better job with FDE matched colors. Muuuuuch better.
True, the CZ Bren 805 looks sick af
I must say that the black version sticks out like a sore thumb when looked at using night vision
Well. I guess FN can't get much right besides accuracy.
Really dig that shooting rig, can see the entire rifle and looks like it will work with anything.
All you need is a Kinetic Development Group rail and accessories!!! Their stuff is awesome. Keep up the great videos
I subbed to these guys at somewhere around 9000 subscribers years ago and I'm so happy I did. Their production value has gone up so far since then but they still act the same way all the time. It's great to see a channel like this rise the way they have. But now I have to go buy a scar lol

And the flight time on those rounds at that range would be around 1.666 seconds. Just in case anyone actually cares. Have a good one. Love these videos.
That shooting tower inspired a significant amount of envy
Lets have at video about your new shooting platform!
I hope it is up to code ? lol .... but it would be interesting .
What camera equipment do you guys use for the long distance filming? (lens + camera) - Apart from the mirage the image looks a bit soft.
I'm wearing the same hat as I'm watching this! Nice shootin boys.
has anyone else been been to the gun museum in Bass Pro in springfield yet??? now is the time to go while they have many many #1 SN guns still on loan from Remington. it's amazing that so many guns still exist that are so rare. equally amazing how many rare guns were just disregarded or lost.

Nice hat bro!
awesome video cool gun really cool meeting you this past weekend at the gun show Eric keep those videos coming man
Thanks man. I'm not gonna lie, when I'm out n public especially at a gun show I get pulled in a million different directions. I think we were talking and another guy walking up and basically hijacked our conversation. If that was you I apologize for that. I try to spend time with everybody.
definitely understand brother no big deal though just throw my appreciation for your videos
Since you have a longer range now do you plan on revisiting any of the how will it kill videos
Since the Scar got some recent competition from the CZ Bren 805, how about a video on both ?
Scar vs Bren ?
Congrats on the platform btw, can't wait to see what y'all do with it next.
That can be arranged
Yessssssss
There should be CZ 806 at the beginning of 2017 for civilian market. There were many complains from czech army users about the weight, no stanag mags compatibility and complicated service of original Brens. 806 should reflect that.
Wonder what happens to the people who bought the 805s who didn't know. Doubt CZ is going to let them trade up.
I have a 805 and it is NATO mag compatible so not sure what the issue is here.
We qualed with 5.56 at 500 yards with iron sights when I was in the Marines, and that was with old ass A2s. I don't see how this is hard with an optic and a stand and one of the fanciest rifles on the market.
Well, Marines are just better shots. Live with it. :) Sincerely, An Appreciative Navy Civilian who knows who the real infantry of America are.
the Marines that don't qualify , do they get kicked out or do they get a desk job ?
you get 3 chance to qualify if you fail 3 times you get sent home
Well, then make a video about it and upload it.
matthew kluge Like the other guy said, you get 3 tries. If you don't get it the first time around you have to go back to the range during teamweek(at least I think that's when they had to retry it, it's been awhile) and try again, if you pass it that time you get to stay with your platoon and graduate on time, if you don't get it that time around you are going to have to go back in training and try it with a whole new platoon/company,even if you pass it that time you won't be graduating on time with your original platoon.

My best friend in recruit training was a jewish banker from New York City who had never even seen a gun in his life and even he shot expert(he's also now the mayor of Jersey City, Steven Fulop.).
Wait til you try the 55 grain standard Federal. You will really be impressed then.
What a rifle. Thanks for the video. That 16S is so light and carries and shoots like a dream.
your hat is on point
you are doing gods work
That first shot Eric took at the gofer hit the dirt above the back stop, good 3-4 foot high
Another great video gentleman! Thanks for the entertainment and info ya'll provide. I'm an Infantry Drill down in Benning' and would love to shoot with you guys sometime! I've got Scar's, AK's, AR's and other fun stuff to contribute!
Email us Drew with a copy of this comment. Good ole sand hill...been awhile.
Done!
Congrats on the new platform. Great video.
Scar 16s are great rifles. Love both of mine
Hell yeah!! I Mr. Chad, I run a TA-33 on my nov 16in and it's beautiful. The RCO is a little more precise but all around I like the 33 as a general (all around) optic.. You guy's are the best!
Love the hat brother. Nice platform to shoot long distance.
this would have been a great application for Eric's drone cam. just have that little guy hovering out down there. great shooting as always though. looks like a ton of fun. givin' me a case of jelly
Great power tool. AND, you got a tower!
nice maga hat.
you mean MYARGA hat, mr. goldberg
nope
75gr, 77gr, otm ammo are great for 600 yards! I used 77gr otm ammo, easy hit on 700 yards with Spr15 18in barrel.
C'mon Chadwick!!! Eric was hitting right off! at 400 but you we're sleeping. Kiddin
Great shooting Eric. Then again you were always the top shooter in the platoon. Great hat too!
Awesome new range setup guy's, love it! Looks like lots of fun.
Why have a scar that's not in .308?
idk man i think they're ugly as all hell anyway so taking away the big boy round makes it completely unappealing to me.
Because AR15's get boring after a while.
J D Mainly because of their nerf gun rounds ;P
the scar doesn't interest me and in 308 it is prohibitively expensive for a majority of gun owners.
I think the SCAR is god damn beautiful. I like the squareness of it. It looks even better with an extended rail.
But you're right. The 16S is almost useless. The 17S is the shit though. I regret selling it.
Eric just to let you know when you're building something like that shooting stand, it'll be a lot more stable if you put the cross-supports between the main wooden pillars as opposed to the way you nailed them into outside or insides.
That looks like so much fun.
build a roof on that platform guys! I know it's hot as hell here in Snellville Ga..had to be a warm day..great stuff!
be sweet to see some old surplus rifles out there, and more opertunities for the "how far will it kill" series
Cool, I shoot .556 at 600 yards. On steel it is hard, even with a spotter. I found the Rubber Dummy target and man I can now see my impacts by myself with a spotting scope.
You guys should really try the Rubber Dummy targets, they are really fun!!
you guys make such great vids, thanks and keep them coming!
Cool, nice setup. I also like the vise contraption your using. Its great to be able to shoot 600 yards. I would be happy as hell.
Thanks, good vid guys! I felt bad for a while there that I could shoot further at my local range in Indiana than you guys.
Hey what are you guys using for spotting scope? I am trying to figure out what is needed or should be used out passed 300?
That's a nice platform.
If you place a piece of black electrical tape over some to most of the fiber optic on the ACOG, it will sharpen the reticule so that you can see your POA better.
that clamp is badass
Looks like an awesome platform or hunting
enjoyed the sounds of the shooting .
"Make your AR great again" Ha Ha! Love it!
6.5 Creedmoor vs .308 watermelon test at 600 yards!!!!! Love the videos and that shooting tower looks amazing :)
just curious... does that scar come that way with none of the pieces matching? seems a little odd on the companies part. You'd think they would match the colors.
Thanks guys. fun fun fun
These rifles are super acurate. Got to shoot one today and was hitting steel consistantly at 400yards with irons. That front sight post is thin so it didnt block out the target. Sweet rifle but that price tag is high
DAMN That's some pretty good shooting guys.
Let's see more of your elevated platform .
loving the hat Eric
If you cut the limb just over the 600 yard target, how far is that dirt mound at the tree line in front of the fence?
Can you go 800-1000?
y0u sh0uld g0 UNDER y0ur steps and nail a l0ng green 2x4's, flush t0 the b0tt0m 0f each riser.. it will make it str0nger and last much l0nger...
when y0u cut the steps 0ut 0f th0se 2x12's it makes them weak and pr0ne t0 split. s0 d0ubling up a 2x4 al0ng the b0tt0m really helps.. its c0de where I live...
I just love Eric's work. So much detail, so much information, so much clarity communication with viewers. He entertains with his skill. that's what i love the most. Give him any weapon, he'll tell you in and outs of that thing after just firing 5 rounds.
Is there a video on the construction of the platform?
Could put some tape over that acog to dim that reticle so its not too bright n make further out shots easier.
Eric and Chad, that is a nice setup. Shooting off that platform or tower through those trees. Wish that I could shoot off of their. You should call it Victory Tower. We had one when I went through Basic Training at Fort Jackson, S.C.Thanks.Robert
Glad to see that hat on you.
Great thanks for video from Moscow.
Damn son, Chad has definitely put on some muscle since this channel started. Lookin good dude! Your arms are almost the size of my shleckum.
For this cartridge, this rifle sends it as good as any.
Make your AR great again !
Looks like fun! Idea for you guys: since we can't really see or hear your hits on camera at that range maybe you can try putting a mic at ~400 and sync the audio to the video so we can hear the impacts and the delay. Looking forward to seeing what else you bring out up there.
I sense a 50bmg video in the works with the new shooting platform
*Would love to see what kinda fun i could have out there with my 6mm i have put a round an inch away from center from a standing position strap stabilized @500 yards consistently problem is the ammo aint what you'd call cheap for this thing. but it's actually a really old gun too and sounds like a canon when it goes off. i shoot the remmington core-lokt 6mm 100 grain and they are pretty accurate however my dad and grandfather used to reload these themselves with 120 grain and OMG the difference is HUGE the thing shoots totally different that way*
That hat is awesome.
I love this dude. detailed videos.
Very cool guys. Bravo Zulu! The tower is the sh!$. What an awesome way to increase your range. I am looking forward to some distance shooting videos with a heavier pill.
556x223 that is the projectile. only diff being military rounds are hotter.
If it was 556x45 that would be so visible in the dirt.
great shooting platform!!!
great shooting! i like stretching my ar 15 5.56 to 1000 yards,... it is hard but fun shooting steel drums at that range!
AR15 FN
Put a remote trigger on the target cameras y'all are about to buy, it will save resources and time which equates to more time filming!
Love the new set up guys!! can't wait to see the M39's smack steel at 600!
wish yall could give prices to parts and mention twists of barrel on the guns demonstrated,it would help on future purchases
you guys should do full review of this gun
Loved the vid thanks for uploading.
If you revisit the 12 gauge "How Far?" like you'd talked please try an optic out to 600 for SnG's. And maybe waxers...
Loving the hat Eric!
Great video guys, that stand is AMAZING. Well done. Wish we could hear the hits though.
The hat. The gun. Good video
I shoot 77 gr boat tail hollow points outta my colt 6920. Don't know if I could match this with just a 4x. Good shooting
I've always wondered how well can you make out a target at 600 yards with an ACOG since its only 3.5x? I love the SCAR rifle. Fun stuff
For videos like this I wish that had one of those sights Richard Ryan has that records video through the optic. Then we could see there holds and what they see.
Hi Guys, can you tell me what camera setup you are using please? Great films keep up the good work.
A 5.56 scar very cool!
That ACOG has short eye relief because it has a monster field of view. That's the trade off. You can't have both very wide field of view and long eye relief. I personally prefer wider field of view.
Great stuff. Keep it coming.
Best bullet weight ever
Ah the ol wal mart wrist support...don't leave home without it
great hat my man
So now that you have a shooting platform, are you going to re-visit some of the previously fired rifles and push the limits. maybe a tavor, or a surplus rifle.
Apparently Chad is the better shot.....great video guys!
Thank God your hat says "Make Your AR Great Again" ... whew
cool shooting platform
