@@michaelmathis1961 ...but definitely not Californi-craze!

Thank you!

Thanks Joe! Always appreciated dude

Thanks for watching Willie! Hope your doing well dude. Yes, I highly recommend shooting ARs at long range. They are great teachers!

Thanks man, you summed up exactly how I feel about it. You can pop the cab off for more compact but I prefer not blowing my ears out lol

Thanks man!

Yes, the idea is to maintain aim until tecoil subsides. A shooter must command the brain to do this, since otherwise upon trigger break the brain will sense that the job is done. Thing is the job is not done because the bullet as fast as it is still is not as fast as the brain and thus the bullet may not have cleared the bore. So, maintaining aim, also called follow through assures the bullet clears the bore before the brain abandons aim. The bonus is follow through allows the shooter to call the shot, that’s to say the shooter will know the reticle to target relationship as bullet cleared the bore and thus the shooter should know exact location of bullet strike, which is an aid to shooter/target analysis. For example if shooter calls shot at 9 o’clock and strike is indeed at 9 o’clock then the shooter knows the rifle is zeroed but perhaps trigger control was not smooth. Fun stuff. BTW, as the shooter is pulling the trigger the focus literally will be on the reticle with concentration on smooth trigger control and follow through, not ever on breathing. There is no need to think about breathing since the shooter not thinking about breathing will shoot during his natural respiratory pause.

Thank you for your service sir. Great advice as well.

The 500 M target was a giant target that was designed to be hit by the soldiers during training in order to build confidence. I am not saying I could hit it myself or that you shouldnt be proud. I just more find it interesting....

My father qualified expert in 83 for the marine corps. Carried the same m16a1 and loved it. The 500m target was a silhouette size. It basically means you can hit a man sized target at 500 meters. And that is good enough for me.

@@steveniedowicz8335 no the 500m target is much bigger than a standard silhouette...

@@christopherwood8363 really. I didn't know. How big?

theyre about 5ft wide and 9 ft tall

Thank you g or your service Winn Mahuron. Are you perhaps from MO?

@@TexasTrained Hi Trey, I am in Indiana. Thank you for your comment.

Army basic training 1969 M-14 service rifle Vietnam service did not like the M16A1 too small of a cartridge why I built an AR-308 in 7.62x51/308 Win.

M193 out of a 20inch barrel is a meat shredder. And that’s not even mentioning that it’ll cut through ar500 armor plate out of a 20inch gun.

@Hardly livin well it already having 2000fps off the muzzle passing through a 20" barrel with a 1:12 twist rate, it tumbles the bullet in the air and it's like sling small blenders at your target. On top of that, they had a real bad habit of majorly changing trajectory after hitting their target causing the bullet to bounce around the enemy's body. The wounds were absolutely insane. I would still take the stopping power of M80: 150gr 7.62x51

I don't have a magnified optic on my AR-15 and make consistent torso shots at 515 yards. I felt bad, one day I went out to close my groups at that distance and this older gentleman had come out with his hunting rifle (I think a 30-06) with a Bushnell 8x or 10x. Hit everything but the target. I was using the irons on my AR and hitting my target at least 4/5 shots. He asked me how I was making shots like that without an optic. I told him that experience and practice are everything in the shooting world and that I would go multiple times a month all year round and that I had been doing that since I was 4. I had been shooting on the carbine length AR platform specifically for 17 years by this point using anywhere from 55 grain to 75 grain bullets so I knew the trajectories and ballistics like the back of my hand.

@@fireantfury2539 Some people commenting here have no experience shooting an AR at mid range (300-800 yards) thus when they try it or see another peer try it they think it’s a spectacular feat. The truth is it is not at all a difficult task for a shooter who has had some instruction on the matter from a credentialed trainer/coach. I’m a Military Rifle Instructor assisting the USAMU deliver the Squad Designated Marksman Course. That course covers everything important to good shooting because as distance to target increases so does the need for knowledge and skills not needed at shorter distances. One paramount need for mid to long range shooting is is an understanding for how to counter for prevailing wind. Thing is wind and weather countering instruction is not often presented outside of Military Marksmanship Programs, like SDM Training, so it’s no wonder why some people are amazed at the results others can get shooting at distant targets. At any rate, since you enjoy shooting the AR at distance you might want to attend this years Small Arms Firing School at Camp Perry. It’s US Setvice Rifle Marksmanship Training presented by the United States Army Marksmanship Unit. The 3 day event will give you the credentials to enter iron sight US Service Rifle Division Long-Range Competitions where you can both test and celebrate your Marksmanship.

@Charles Ludwig I would absolutely enjoy an experience like that but unfortunately I'm grounded by work and other responsibilities. I try to keep my marksmanship as sharp as possible with given time and money restraints. I was taught by my dad from the age of four who had no military or hunting experience and he started with no resources, virtually no experience, no money for training, and no friends with training to teach him. As he taught me (my mom was Air Force), after our PCS to San Angelo, Texas at Goodfellow AFB, we met an Army Reserve Sniper who was stationed there for their Arabic courses who taught us some more about shooting, especially at distance. I work on room to room clearing and movement drills both slow and fast paced more now than I do distance shooting because it's more applicable to why I have guns but I do have a few distance builds now. I've never done the calculations or know how to apply the numbers pulled from heat, humidity, distance, wind speed etc. When I was taught, I was taught to just feel and observe my surroundings and to understand how each factor affects the bullet and to figure out how to place my shot with just feeling and observing. I'm no sniper and will never claim to be, but I can use my firearms effectively at most ranges and will only get better knowing I have more to learn.

Any idea where I can find an acss acog?

@@joshgalt2022 Optics Planet, Primary Arms. These would be the first places I would check. They will run you about $1200.00 but they are worth it. Buy once cry once.

@@msantifort thanks. Looked everywhere. Appears to be discontinued

Thanks so much man, I appreciate that

I am a Master Class Service Rifle Competitor and my average score at 200 yards standing is 96%. It took me a lot of practice time to get to that percentage. I would not practice with a .22 at that distance, since there are factors to success or failure beyond what the shooter can address from Marksmanship skill. In other words, shooter/target analysis is difficult and thus learning what needs correction is not possible. And, not knowing what correction is needed means no Marksmanship development. It’s just a novelty. So, take the .22 and shoot standing at 50 ft rimfire targets until you are able to put ‘em all in the 10-Ring. At that point you will have developed the knowledge and skills of what’s important to good shooting to shoot in any sort of competition with any platform.

Thanks!

Nice man! Sounds fun

It's the mba3. I have the 1 which is the fixed a2 length on my ar

Yes, Utah

@@WestDesertShooter , I'm near Spanish Fork

Custom coated

5.56 will cover that range no problem for target shooting. It’s less to shoot. Lighter, less recoil. I like the 15

Their website shows the SH4 6-24 in stock

Shoot FGMM 77 grain loading.

That's a Luth AR buttstock. I have one and it's awesome

I’ve talked with them a few times! That would be super cool

Can slow the degradation of the crown. Also "Rex" claims it helps with "transitional balistics". Hard to say for sure, but a quality can won't hurt performance. A cheap can probably will. Sometimes you can see a tiny bit a velocity gain with a suppressor too.

@@teampyle9835 thank you

Left hand should fight spin drift at real long ranges. Depends how crazy the gain twist is.

16"

Yes

16".... hit the link in the description 🤙

I could certainly go more velocity but these shoot good so I can’t complain. They still hit steel far away so I’m happy

It would tickle at the very least.

I think I figured it out, I loaded these rounds in 5.56 LC brass instead of PMC 223 that I chronod that probably made the difference. Once you zero the rifle the can has no more low impact effect

That Arken mount is at 1.5 with 20 MOA

Sierra 69GR

Cartridge is 223 Remington.

@@WestDesertShooter 223 that only goes 2500 - 2600fps? What would happen if you increased powder loads to hit the 3k mark?

@@kingkezz9188 2750-2800 is a realistic number for 69 grain bullets

24" 😳..... WOW

Hope you are safe over there.

Okay bud

I just want people to know that the accuracy with a good AR at that distance is very good. I have shot many 1000yd matches with the iron sights on an AR and had very good success. I’m not giving you a hard time just the facts. I have lots of experience and success at long range shooting.

@@timjackson9552 you’re not giving any facts, you’re flapping your gums on the internet lol.
