@Glockcrazy19, It really is fun. I enjoy ARs and think they are pretty interesting ( even cool!), but once you fire an M1-A, or maybe any military rifle that fires the 7.62X51 cartridge, the 5.56 never has quite the same thrill.
That's the truth! Only problem is the cost of ammo
Amen brother
The M14 series have one of the most beautiful actions ever invented.
It's like music to my ears
The SOCOM 16 one bad ass rifle.
I bought my SOCOM 16, in 2012. This gun can lay down some lead. There is no substitute for a 308 rifle.
Meh.... maybe .308 is more the sweet spot
We love our 308 in Australia gotta see if it's legal in Australia the awesome SOCOM 16....
You’re still one of the authorities I always check with before splurging on a new piece. Thanks for all you do, Hickok!
Best channel on youtube. Honest, real reviews.
@phishst1cks, That's not what we do in our 100-increment videos. Check out the last four. :-)
NOBODY is allowed to dislike hickocks videos..
Hickok, I love you man! Just remember, never complain about the heat down there in your great free state. I'm stuck in New York where my SOCOM 16 can't have a muzzle break (or anything on the end there - no matter its name) and it can only have 10 round magazines. And if one were to have an "assault rifle" before the S.A.F.E Act came into law, you have to register it!!! As long as I'm committed to this state as a husband, father, and farmer, I've committed myself to warning the rest of the country that what happens to New York can theoretically happen anywhere in our country. Stand and fight folks. Be on guard! Don't trust your run-of-the-mill Republican!!!!! I love your channel Hickok45!
Daniel Obst; And you think trusting your run if the mill democrat is the solution !?!
Haa No! Your missing the point - or I wasn't clear. What I meant is that we have to watch out for the progressive (or moderate) republicans who are just as damaging, if not more so than any democrat, since they fool so many real conservatives. Oddly enough I wrote that so long ago that I still had hope for our country but now a bigger change is needed and its not gonna be just by an election. The birth pangs of our country getting back to what it was founded to be will be much worse. So HEY - I'm glad I have my M1A!!! haaha
Daniel Obst ; Gotcha, friend ! Right there with you ! Interesting times, are they not?
Very interesting times! We're launching into the future so fast that we're forgetting our history just as fast
I know it sucks you guys can't have ars and aks but I'd rather have a m1a with ten rounds then a ar with ten rounds. Grass ain't always greener
I could tell by your first video that you wouldn't take long to acquire one. It's next on my list too Mr. Hickok. Can't wait, but I gotta save for this one. SA is very proud of them.
hickok you are one of the best shooters ive ever seen you never use scopes always useing iron sights great vid my friend :)
@nccamokid, I've done that and will do some more. I recently purchased some of the new Ruger 25-rd magazines.
I have to say it's quite amazing how steady john holds the camera.
@Abomb520, We're planning to do that and not just with the M1-A.
“Let’s take out a bowling pin. I love to bowl. Now that’s the way to bowl” 😂😂
I just purchased one, still waiting for it to arrive at my FFL
Ditto
Me too
@@HarryKnuttsachs got mine today... what a rifle! Love it
I gots me one with a wood stock 🤤
@krammit087 , No, I don't buy toys on credit. :-)
Wish I had this rifle when I was in the army instead of the M16A1 rifle, because I totally dislike pistol grips on long guns!!!!
Your fan and god bless
Detroit 69
@DankWin, Yes.
Hearing the brass fall in slow mo is so awesome!
Thanks for all you do for the shooting community, Tom Young
watching the action cycle at the end during the slow mo is sweet! once again, nice editing John.
I dig that rifle. Thanks for the review, Mr. Hickok.
Hickok, Just inherited a M1A Scout from my father in law and am sorting out the loads for the rifle. Interesting enough when I measured the fps of the 18" versus the same same round in a 24" bolt action rifle, the difference in fps was close to 200 fps. You certainly lose fps with the shorter barrel.
I also noticed that you had some difficulties shooting out at distance. It's been quite a challenge for me to get a good group with the M1A scout due to the heavy trigger pull and trying to keep the rifle steady. Yes, I need to improve my trigger control but it is a bit of a challenge. Was able to get a 1 MOA group at 100 yards with the rifle shooting it off a bench.
As you said, the look and style of the rifle is outstanding. Yes, life is good! Keep em flying down range! :)
It's very interesting to see the difference between the .308 (in this video) and the .223 (in the M4 chapter 2) in how long it takes to destroy a cinder block.
"I own a Socom16 and it is a wonderful rifle to shoot!"
I joined the club two weeks ago (right time and place) and finally got to put a few rounds down range yesterday. Im in love with it and I think it deserves a name. Suggestions?
Hickok45, I have a SOCOM 16 and a full length M1A. Where did you get that pad that fits on the back of the stock? Both of rifles a bit short and shooting them in prone position is murder because I have a bad collarbone.
I have a SOCOM 16 and it's one of my favorites!
I used to listen to him a lot, but I never heard him ever mention anything about firearms.
@Mc13oner , Yep, I just don't have time, in addition to everything else, to be in the "Packing & Shipping" business. :-)
Just bought one, it's still gun porn every time I look at it :)
Lol great name!
You made a video of my favorite gun and posted it on my birthday, God bless you!
Man, that is sweet! Thanks for the post, hickok45, sir. Excellent camera work as always, John!
'i love to bowl" is probably my favorite line in your videos.
It is perfectly acceptable to drool or slobber over that gun. My shirt is soaked right know. Why would anybody complain about a little extra weight, I just don't see it. I would gladly carry it into battle when my life would be on the line. Great vid Sir!
That firearm is artwork you can shoot....awesome gun...and awesome shooting! thanks again Hickok.
I love my socom 16 not picky on ammo everything works in it that I have tried
Just placed one on hold, hope to have next week!
Another fantastic episode of "As the soda turns"... Great shooting and thanks for sharing!
I REALLY LIKE MY SOCOM 16!!!
I have a SOCOM 16 and it's a REAL KEEPER!!!!
Mr. Hickok45
This is the very first time that I've written any RUclips people. I've watched A LOT of your videos and I enjoy every single one of them even it's a striker fired pistol . I find myself consulting your videos when I'm first starting my quest to buy another firearm we seem to both like and have the same views so it makes selecting which firearm to add to my collection. I truly thank you for taking time out of your day to do a pretty good evaluation of the firearm in addition You seem to be really enjoying doing each video. S
Sincerely, J.E.K. II
@phishst1cks, I didn't realize we were ever "regimented." What does that mean? :-)
This is one of my favorite .308 semi-autos!
Thanks Hickok! Thanks to your video's I'm now the owner of 2 m1a's. A walnut stock loaded and a scout squad. Also purchased a few arntzen targets! Maybe you should be a salesman! Haha!!
Kip
Your laugh is the best.
@MrSuperstar567
The SOCOM 16 is Springfield Armory's shortened model of the M-1a with a polymer stock and a piece of rail on the top.
The M1-a is the semi automatic version of the military spec full auto (select fire) m-14. And the M1-a is to distinguish it from the M-1 Garand, which all of the other guns mentioned are based on.
Love the offhand Hic. Anyone can shoot off a rest. You always keep it real Brother.
I just picked mine up and compared to the scar 17. The M1A has more recoil
FINALLY SOCOM CHAPTER 2, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY!
@SpydercoTac Now that you mentioned it, you're right. Found it by the way, it's his Wards Western Field rifle. I guess it's the exception that confirms the rule.
Did anyone notice at 7:45 when Hickok shot the 2 liter (green) up close, he also chopped a tree down in the background. Only Hickok45 could take out 2 targets at once !!!
I literally just rewinded the video after seeing that 🤣🤣🤣
They say the socom 16 is a 5 or 6 moa gun. I bought a used one. Cleaned it lubed it. And first 2 shots almost touched at 50 yards. They are loud but what a glorious sound.
That is a beautiful weapon, sounds extremely loud with that crackle like this is the only weapon I would be interested in
Hickok,
I really enjoy your videos.
You've in a sense helped push me over the edge here.
I've just traded my much loved first run SAM 7 SF for a
Socom 16.
I already own an M1A Loaded but watching you and others on you tube shooting the Socom 16 just made me have to own one.
Thanks a lot!
Just kidding I can't wait for my new gun to get here so I can shoot it
Louie Pate
The M1A is amazing !
The Socom 16 is a winner, well all the versions are pure win - except for the Socom II..and only because that cluster rail is a joke.
With my Buddy's M1A Supermatch - i put 5 rounds in the same hole with iron sights ! They are scary good.
"That is a gun and a half."🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@jedilife77 thats because its an "updated" M1A which derived from the M1 Garand. It's the civiallian version of the m14.
Yeah I don't blame you. No way I'd be able to send that baby back. I went out an bought one myself after watching you. It is the pride of my collection now.
Can you shoot steel case ammo with this rifle. I'm leaning to get one, but hate to spend my retirement money on 308 brass case. Steel case looks so much cheaper to shoot. 5 dollars a box is better than 15 dollars for 20 rounds.
snubby m14 looks like a marlin lever action 45-70.......both are gorgeous
@billt460 I have a Socom and find it relatively easy to break down and clean. Now the bolt is a different story and can be pretty tricky. That said I cleaned my Winchester 94 for the first time and man was that a pain took me four hours of yelling and screaming. I got it back together though and I think it will be easier from now on.
How often does would you say it needs cleaning?
howdy hikok. Iv been a long time viewer and first time requester :D I go to combat training for the Australian army in Nov. If you can get your hands on one you should do a video on the AUG styer for the Aussi viewers :D
Life's always good mate.
As a SOCOM-16 owner and advocate myself,...This was a great video. Just like the Food Channel,...the food you see looks Great. But thru your TV screen you cant smell it, or taste it. Same with the SOCOM-16. You have to actually shoot the thing and then own it. Once you own it--youll never give it away. This rifle is, Addictive. The smoothest shooting,..and Lowest-recoiling rifle I own. For dramatic effect, Winchester white box for muzzle-Flash in Low Light conditions:) Awesome Vid H-45!
Love the SOCOM 16, but I'm more partial to the Scout Squad M1A.
I don't get tired of hearing about those 100 deg. days at all, we had frost this morning here..................eh!
Hickok and john rules!!!!!! Thumbs up so they can see that they are awesome!
Sweet rifle's, I love mine. Been using it as my deer rifle since they came out. I have the non checkered fatter stock.
Just don't touch that rail after blazing a few mags, you won't soon forget it!
Just put it onto a Troy MCS stock to see if is like it, great vid.
Take care.
@41outof40
It's easier for someone who has really never shot a rifle before to adapt to the 5.56, the M16 is lighter, you can carry many more rounds, and in Urban conflict and open conflict the 5.56 is still deadly at 300 yards, plus the cost to mass produce the M16 is cheaper then the M14... The Military is still heavily using M14. The Problem I see the military has with the M14 is Cost, Weight, and round capability.
A lovely weapon. Thank you for the fun!
Ok. It's on my bucket list. Officially.
Ding! Gotta love that sound!!
"I've owned my Socom16 for about 2 years in January! Can't wait to take it hog hunting with the soft tip 180's!"
@PureBlindMan SEAL snipers have used the gun since day 1, the army does use it for their designated marksmen, since recently in iraq engagements have taken place at shorter ranges, so super accurate bolt actions became unwieldy. in fact my brother will be a designated marksman with this weapon in the EBR version if he can score well in the rifle marksmanship test later in the year.
Oh yeah and 1 more till 500 vids....I cant wait. You've been saving the M60 close up for us havent you ......?!
I was sold on hickock45 after the first video I saw of his.. the thanksgiving rapid fire range barrel shoot. I thought here's a man who enjoys his toys...subscribe.. Now a religious viewer, and I think all out door ranges should have a hickock45 style lane. Cause your set up taunts us just about every video you put up.
beautiful, i myself love an m1a/m14 with a longer barrel myself though.
either way i dont think you can really ever go wrong with an m1a.
just wish their prices was more considerate of some peoples heart conditions
another great vid , i enjoy .
@PureBlindMan gun is still being used, my friend is Designated Marksman for the army and they gave him an m14 ebr
@RookCAF Indeed...in fact I think he only has 1 video of optics, and that is a borrowed rifle. He has actually inspired me to get good with irons and I actually prefer them on my M4 now.
Nice video. I recently built a fulton armory scout rifle from a barreled action. I love it.
@TyeDye07 No, those were M1 Garands. The Reciever looks similar. Hickok does some Garand videos if you search them
@bronzepbr hmm i think it depends, cause each military has their own doctrine. Example, the standard soldier manual for the russian army encourages bursts or automatic fire in combat. Whereas the american army manual states that single precise shots are encouraged.
credits to the camera guy he's good at holding it still whilst zoomed in and credit to anouther great vid keep em comin :)
I am going to buy one. I have a sagia 308 but now I want a scout. And im ordering it tomorrow
I want one more each time you shoot it ! Scom 16 really nice weapon !
Recoil was a factor as well. Since military is full auto; the first shot goes where you want. The rest will go whatever the heck they want lol. I'm not much for a debate, but they're all great rifles
Nice shooting. Hoping to pick up one of these soon. Seems they have been very low on stock this last year and just now getting caught up.
I was at an out door range near me and a guy had one of these but it was in 30.06. The same as the original M1 Grand was. I got hooked BIG TIME? But all I see them now is in Caliber 308. Can you special order them in different calibers?
Wish I had one, or two!
Two petitions running now at the white house website. One is to repeal the Hughes amendment, the other to reopen the full auto firearms registry. It only takes a second to sign. If successful, this would allow more people access to fully automatic weapons. People wouldn't be limited to spending thousands of dollars on 30+ year old guns if they want to enjoy a select fire weapon.
We need far more signatures quickly. I posted links in a comment on Hickok's profile if you can't find them
looks damn HOT over there old mate! just getting in to summer here down under. really not looking forward to it lol. cant help but drool over any of your videos hickok with all the gun laws and all down here. us folk arnt allowed to have this much fun!.
@PureBlindMan My best guess is that the AR-10 took over that role in the 7.62x51 flavor.
@hickok45 howdy hickok almost everything i have learned about shooting i have learned from you. please don't stop MR 45. and that's all i got to say about that. life is good.
another quality video thanks Hickok45
hi
Are bullets for this rifle, the same as bullets for the old M1 1940-1945 Springfield rifle
thank you
Hickok for President!
That thing is sweet. 308 is a great round but yea it can be rather pricy when shooting like that. I think thats why I like my PSL so much in 7.62x54R
I would love to see a video on how to shoot the Socom 16 iron sights. I'm having a real hard time using the sights because of that thick post. I'm sure many people are in the same boat just need advice from an experienced person.
Looks like you're getting enjoyment popping that rifle... It looks like it's doing the damn thing.
i think the big guns are great but i think it would be awesome if hickock made a video with a ruger 10/22
My next gun hands down
