Also for those interested in price, these go for about 4K these days, but in 2016, SR25’s we’re $3600 and today they are 6k plus

For anyone looking at AR10’s, make sure you look at the Seekins SP10 as well. Sub 3k, adjustable gas, lifetime warranty

In sniping competitions people carry these with joy for miles. Rather 16" MR than 24" bolt gun with a can. The HK is excellent and used a lot.

Congrats to your MR762, very nice setup! I Appreciate the content.

I had two MR223 14.5" and I wanted my next rifle to be a 20" MR308. Then a new delivery from HK came into the gun store and I bought MR223 in 16.5". Now I wish I bought the MR308 in 20" but I guess that will be my next purchase.

About Time Navyman.Great review bro.Keep it up

Wish they would do an mr65, some old timers at HK. Hopefully one day I’ll get one, it would be the cherry on top of my HK collection. Great review btw, probably the best on KZfaq

Great video on an amazing rifle! I went with an LMT LM8 in 308 and I couldn't be happier. I plan on getting a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel for it soon.

YOU WE LOVE OUR HK’s BABY

Dude your timing on this is hilarious as I realized like today how I still don’t have this itch for the mr762 scratched yet.. literally a today thing. Damn dude you’d already sold me a Mk23 😂

I got a Tavor 7 for my 7.62x51 option, and I love it. It shoots very comfortably. I don't have a long range to go to to test out long distance shooting, but I know it's more battle rifle focused than DMR focused. I do wish Geissele made a trigger/trigger pack for it though.

I have Windham Weaponry SRC .308. Has a surprisingly light profile for a 308 and is chrome lined. It's not a target gun, it's a battle rifle, fun range blaster. No illusions about precision shooting.

4K man. That’s what they go for now. Hadn’t seen one in years and it was a grail piece for me so I jumped when I saw it. Painful but worth it. Snagged mine in April.

I have the lrp and like you mentioned, only shoot 168gr. Awesome review and thank you for all your knowledge!!!

You tuber Mountains,Mullets,Merica was shooting the MR762 out to eleven hundred yards in high wind. I believe 185 juggernauts. He did a review of this rifle as well.

Thank you so much for this.

he is SO FUCKING BACK

Awesome video man. Very informative and a solid take on the MR as precision rifle vs BR that I totally agree with. Personally I love the mayflower triple magazine shingle they used to make for the 417. Tough to find but the best option for a carrier out of everything I’ve tried. As for suppressor use, I run a RC2 and added a waffenburke AGB and it runs really well. Could be worth checking out if your still trying to tune your Mr for your suppressor. Usually there’s guys on Pro selling them for MSRP (500ish USD).

I’ve always been back and forth between this or the LMT MWS. But both my heart and brain say HK.

Found you from jang-gun. Good vid. Thanks for more info to decide on how to build my .308.

Man I was so happy to hear you say that about the Geissele trigger because I could not tell if I was tweakin or not but I didn’t feel much difference in the pull weight. It’s a much cleaner break but I wasn’t satisfied because I have other Geissele triggers and was comparing it to those. I called Geissele twice asking if there was some way they could improve it but all they could come up with was a $12 spring kit which I installed but a still didn’t get the results I was looking for. My problem is at 700yds I felt the trigger was not light enough for me to hit a torso almost everytime I was hitting about 40%

Miss’s navy man. Glad to see a recent upload. Well hello there!

I’m obligated to mention the DD5 series because no one else has mentioned it, and it is superb value for money, while not skimping on capability.

Another good one, thank you.

Several things I want to touch on bases off this video. I own one and it’s like yours is extremely accurate by far more accurate then I am. Mine is a newer model date code CB and the finish although great has definitely chipped pretty bad on the deflector. The front pin is a pain to put back in… as for the internal components being proprietary isn’t much of a concern. Sure parts maybe harder to come by and not interchangeable but why would you want to interchange them to begin with. HK parts are ages ahead of 99.9% of competitors not only that but the internals will out live whatever round count you can put through this thing….

Henry with the big dunk.. Been eyeballing an AR10 build, but my range only go's to 550m.

Of course i used copyrighted material to make a video. So you're possibly going to see ads.

Tactical Kitty. Guest appearance! Tactical Kitty, however, did step on snek. Not cool, TK. Not cool. Awesome video, Navy dude. Thank you for your service, and thank you for making this informative review. All the more reasons to own a firearm made by HK.

Very nice setup.

My back hurts thinking of how heavy that thiiiccccccc Boi is

The weight on the SFAR has me looking at an AR10 for the first time, though.

I’ve heard/seen the LWRC AR10’s are legit. I’ve got about 0.01% experience with AR10’s, let alone LWRC’s, but I do have two LWRC rifles, my SIX8 Razorback II, and my M6 IC-E which has been absolutely amazing and phenomenal with only a couple “failures” in just about 3500 rounds, which isn’t a lot I know, but was all ammunition related i.e. the ammunitions fault. So the LWRC AR10’s are definitely cheaper than H&K and Knights, but probably closer to LMT’s AR10 prices I imagine. Anyways, good stuff once again my eventual fellow Veteran, I appreciate your videos and content my friend. God bless~

there are some cool pics of cag using 417's with an eotech and g33 from earlier in gwot

You're not kidding about the price. I've been slowly building mine over the past 4 years after a friend gave me a BRN7 lower. Everything else has been HK parts, and its been quite the exercise in patience in collect and constantly budget and scan for parts. Hopefully it'll be done by the end of the year. Im excited to finish it and shoot it.

Come home to a new NAVYMAN video. Good times.

"the ejectors and extractors are very well sprung and are guaranteed to pull out" ~Navyman.

Navyman: "Almost 4.25 inches, which is very long..." Hah, that's not what she said 😭🤣

I learned a lot thanks.

The stock trigger on my MR felt like it was 7-8 lbs. Terrible. Dropped in the Geisle and it shoots like a dream. Then put a Schmidt 5-20 up top and a OSS 762 TI out front. Ka-ching. Hitting steel at 1K yards easy. And loading the mags is oddly satisfying. They are works of art.

Fun Fact: Battle rifles don't need to be full auto. Rifles that are chambered in a full powered cartridge and have a detachable box magazine are classified as battle rifles and are capable of being DMRs . I don't know if the Canadian FAL meets this definition because its a integrated mag fed by clips but there's an exception to every rule so the HK417 is a battle rifle that can be placed in different roles such as a DMR based on the model. The HK G28 was designed for the DMR role and although it meets the criteria for being a battle rifle, it most likely won't be classified as one because of it design purpose, weight and the precision instruments used with it.

Navy, I’ve mentioned before I have an older LWRC REPR and it is a 16 inch heavy barrel that has been ultra reliable and I’m getting about the same accuracy as you with 168 grain, side note I lose a little accuracy when I move up to 175 grain. My gun likes the 168 the best so that’s what I use when I’m shooting for ultimate accuracy. Like you it’s the most expensive rifle I own and I use it to mostly hunt with. Thanks for the info on your HK and I’d like to know how your rifle likes the 175 grain when you start using it. Thanks Rick Rick

Stop it, like I need another HK....great review.

HARAMBE IS ALIVE!

The bolt tension is the result of firing pin being under the spring tension.

791 yds from a 16" gun is incredible.

I have MR762 and DD5 and love both. DD5 is extremely accurate and has a CL barrel. Both shoot great suppressed.

Why would those be the only 3 AR10s worth having? Theres a whole bunch of them like the ADM. Heck, the old Sig 716 piston version is definitely worth having and i know that for sure because I have one and its quite accurate. Its extremely similar to the HK 417 honestly. Supposedly it was designed by one of the guys who designed the 417. Love your content but I think a more accurate statement would be those are the only 3 AR10s worth having if you want to flex. I think at a certain point we get to a place where we're just spending money for the sake of it.

Big boy rifle. ❤

Good video. What about the ZEV rifle for a 7.62 platform?

Can’t decide between the kahles 1-8 g3 or the Nightforce atacr for my mr762. Thanks for the review!

Great video Navy Man. Is this the long range version of the 762? Thanks and keep up the good work?

791 yards??? You sure it wasn't 790.5 yards??? Lol good video man, just F'n with you...

The rock n roll music playing while being still and shooting kills me everytime 😂😂😂😂😂

What are your views on the MARS-H? They make no promises but I've seen and heard comparisons to the SR-25 with the LMT coming up as good if not better in some cases

I really want to get into an ar10 but can't justify the price before selling off my 6.5 bolt build. I have been looking into wilson combat barrels but might just hold out for 6 months to get a criterion hybrid.

RIP Harambe

Tactical tailor makes double 20rnd soft pouches. I can fit 6 mags on my carrier. And criterion was the only manufacturer I could find with a chrome lined LR-308 barrel. It was worth it though.

I put the ATACR 1-8 on my LRP III I couldn't take the Vortex man. Love this rifle...

Cool review. I like the idea of messing with full power rifles, but they just cost too much to mess with imo. On another random note: Ever thought about doing some competitions?

I've been seeing these pop up occasionally around $3k. I have a SCAR17, but don't shoot it very much. It's setup as a battle rifle with a light and ACOG, but I agree with your point about 308 platforms. I think 308 semi auto in general are more suited for a DMR role than a "run and gun." If I have to move with the gun, I'm choosing between my SP5 and SCAR16. No one wants to run with a big heavy battle rifle. I guess what I'm trying to say is the time may be coming that I dump my beloved SCAR17 and pick up one of these to build out for a true DMR role... I'm lucky to have access to a family farm where we can shoot just over 800yd, so I would get to stretch the legs on this.

I'm kinda assmad the LRPs try to bundle you into a specific optic. I'm kinda surprised they're offered like that when the base rifle is different too.

I put together my AR-10 precision using Noveske 16" 308 barrel with headspaced bolt, ZEV billet receiver set, Veltor A5 buffer system, and the PRI carbon fiber handguard. Optic, I went with the N.F. atacr 1-8 and I have taken it out to 800 yds with no problem. If I had the money I'd go the same route you did great video.

I’m a big fan of LaRue offerings. It seems to get forgotten about. They are outstanding. But yeah you’ve gotta wait awhile for one.

POF usa makes a piston 308 that uses some ar15 parts

Have you tried the old Mak 90 AK or SKS magazine carriers for the MR762 magazines?

"If it doesn't have the slant cut... it's not as good." Like buying a Ferrari... but in puke green, not red. Nice work on the bad rest, no rear bag, no bipod, 168gr long shots. Backpack full of mags, mildly more conforming than some whole & broken bricks. You can say it's all the rifle, but anyone who shoots half-regularly knows better.

You have to get your triggers on black Friday i usually try to get two. My wifes niece i knew always carried and i always thought that was cool untul i found out she had hk 556 , i was so jealous im the guy un the family that has all the guns . I guess quality over quantity wins i still think shes pretty cool .

What’s your preferred 7.62 ammo? What do you prefer for plinking, and what would you use for defense?

You think a 1;11 is much of an upgrade? I bought the mr762 before i heard the LRP had a faster twist rate, kinda wish i would have gotten that and tried to recoup some money by selling the shit optic.

Spent all my money on 556 builds, guess if I want to chunk 308 Ill have to freshen up my 1993 M1-a.. nice gun though.

also, just wondering, is there going to be a Navyman Block II M4 "klone" build video review? I kinda need another guntuber to give me a reason to justify dropping $5-7k on a rifle + accessories and sights build.

Has anyone had trouble with the HK Mags not going into lock position ?

Just got mine and put myself on the email list for the Geissele 417 charging handle restock alert was curious if you ever got yours or is this an unobtanium item and I should just expect to run the factory one?

so dedicating one to a supply chain management system, which parts are commonly replacement parts for MR762?

WOOOOOOOO NAVYMAAAAAAAAAAN WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I got a mr762 a couple months ago. I'm presently trying to figure out what optic and optic mount to put on it. There's a range a little over an hour from me that goes out to 1000 yards and I`m needing something to reach out that far.

Were you running TAP ELD AR or TAP ELD Precision? I've had significantly different results running these two different rounds from a HB MR762.

DMR and sniping is definitely not a poorman's game. I'll wait till I can afford Scar 20s or something to really jump-in

I took MR to 1km with Sellier bulk. The man silhuet dropped on third shot. But with scenars it is a lot better. A lot. I tested it to within minute and sellier was around 1.5. And very soft to shoot. The guy who has it now had it shoot PMC sierra load excellent, ofc lapua etc also works.

Do you think a Vortex 6-36x56 is too much optic for this rifle? Not sure if I want it or if I should get a NF 4-16x or something else

My LGS had one of these used recently, a MR762 AND a MR556 came in at the same time! Still over $3k new, I NEARLY pulled the trigger on this but after some research I decided no I don't actually really need a 308 for a while, I don't hunt and I don't do long range stuff, do I still want one? Absolutely. They are bomb proof. Also, the MR556 and this are actually quite a bit heavier than I'd like as well, very thick and chonky forend on these guys, I can tell they are built to take a beating but do I want to be hauling one through the woods for miles, heck no lol. The proprietary mags probably helped sway me in the other direction too....which I ended up just getting a PS90 of all guns so I went totally the opposite direction of a 308 haha! Oh well...My brain is all over the place these days lol.

WOW IT'S NAVYMAN!

I had a Sig 716- 16" DMR set up for years.....same engineers blah blah blah as the HK guns, you know the story. I had a Leupold 3-10 mil dot on it like the scopes on the knights O.G. in the GWOT. I shot it out to about 550YDS. in shitty conditions time and time again. It had three gas settings and I ran a Sico hybrid on it. H3 buffer red spring. It was a pussy cat to shoot. It broke my heart after about 5000 rds. when the gas block sheered off two positions one day, I don't know if someone twisted it without the D-tent pressed in while I was busy with something or what happened, but I was left only with the largest gas setting. Sig said they would try to make it right even though they were no longer being sold, but I just traded it to a buddy with an FFL and let him deal with them. They would have probably tried to give me their new gas driven "716Di" and I did not want that anyway. One day if all the stars align I WILL have an HK 417/MR762, because I love my my MR556. I have a shorty 10.4 HK barrel and a Brownells 14.5 heavy for it and it is my favorite gun by a damn big stretch. The hype is real folks. If you DEMAND performance and can afford it, HK is the way.

I am considering the rifle possibly being the best option, yet being proprietary, the mags, bolt, barrel gas system means that finding parts could be impossible or even more expensive if production stopped. Possibly becoming more valuable if you think of it, but I think it would be a poor choice for survival.

Just snagged one from PSA on sale for $3300 in 2024 money, can't beat that price.

I legit struggle with going back and forth between this and the SCAR 17S

the 762 trigger is superior to the 556. i think both of mine are from 2012 0r 2013 id have to dig out the receipts. i like the stock trigger and quad rail. im a real sicko. forgot to mention i practice at 1000yards with my 762 i use smk175 and ppu175match. the ppu isnt bad for the money try a box. i shoot at a few types of paper targets and steel reactive plates. i use the police training silhouettes 21x24in and the slow pistol 50yard paper targets also 21x24in. im not going to go into numbers and brag or tell fish stories but i will say this. i keep all the rounds on paper i usually do 40rds a target and value each shot at a score of 2.5%. on the silhouettes. or add up the score of the numbers with a max score of 400points with 10 being the most points x40rds. the slow fire is a bullseye type target and i try to keep every thing in the black 8in circle. The rifles amazing.

Have you reviewed the XCR? I'm looking to get one and I respect your opinion.

THE WEST HAS RISEN WE ARE SO BACK

Is it true that putting a suppressor on it voids the warranty?

I love JTAC

I want the LRP so badly

Harambe is a sexy beast! 👌

Shoot a LaRue… “only 3 worth having” there are many worth having my man lmao

This or the LMT MARS-H?

Dang. I could have removed the watermark in that harambe art for you if you asked.

Move kitty!

Hi Kitty!

@23:10 a M249 SAW pouch = triple 417/MR762 mag pouch 😂🤣
