We're like two years away from ben giving us after action reports on his latest patrolling class and gushing over how well his crye avs did. I'm stoked.

Potential fix for the bipod issue is you could get an ARCA adapter for the bipod and put like an 8-12” section of ARCA on the bottom of your hand guard. This gives you more adjustability of bipod placement and could gain you some more height out of your bipod by mounting it closer. The flat base of the ARCA is also nicer for positional shooting due to the flatter hand guard resisting tilt.

Would love to take a class with bruiser industries, dude seems legit.

Good to hear that you enjoyed the course. I was considering taking one of Bruiser's classes, but I don't have time this year. Hopefully, next year I can.

Tip for in the field bipod fix, if you can move the bipod closer to the rifle, it will allow you more room for when your bipod is not tall enough. That's if you can move it in the field

Love the rifle videos

I have that same scope and I agree. Grouping at 100m is hard because it covers the whole target. But I've also made practical hits out to 700 with it.

Cowtown baby!! Let’s go!

For prone shots at extreme distance you can use a 10 or 20 round magazine. At that distance, you have time. And the general rule of thumb for a practical rifle is 1x per 100 yds, which puts the Razor 1-6 in the sweet spot for 5.56

No day is promised or guaranteed. If you want to really do something, now is the time

Thundercat lmfao 😂

I was shooting my second focal plane LPVO at range and couldn’t hit anything all day. Then I found out the holds are only accurate at full power. 😅

I dont have your schedule but I have the same conversation with myself. Limited time, which skills to I want to work on. LR stuff isnt a priority. Pistol is for work and CCW. Without question. The a lot of my rifle work(which is like 25% or less) is doubles and 100Yards plus.

Don't know what the little gray squares on the wall behind you are. But they're nice to dryfire to whilst i listen to you talk.

Come to an Accurized AR match at Cowtown. Third Saturday of every month.

Hey Ben, as a "Noob" to this kind of shooting, what are somethings that mattered more than you thought and what are some things that mattered less?

Is Cowtown the 1000 yard range? Please share here as I would like to do that…..

I love my atlas bipod. That said each situation is different and Atlas has tall models. I have a 4x Acog on my IWI X95 and was able to hit 660 yards with a little wind in like 10-15 shots. Was my first time shooting that far w 5.56. Love the video Ben, glad to see you got some more carbine time!

Hey Ben, was it 2MOA targets at 100y from what shooting position? Prone supported?

The NF ATACR or NX 1-8 or vortex 1-10 have better reticles for long distance Also the center dot for the new NF DMX reticle is smaller making it better for precision shots

Isn't the olympic style shooting overall a different skill than IPSC -style fast shooting? It looks same, but requirements are rather different; No time pressure, but need to be ultimate accurate. Same can be replicated when shooting pistol.

Thunder beast bipod folks

Scope mount ?

I highly recommend looking at 6mm ARC or 6mm Max. Both cartridges are small frame and can reach out to 1000 yards easy. I’ve shot 2 rounds at 800 yards before I hear the impact of the first round, super impressive and a ton of fun.

Good video. If you are going to go into large frame AR, I would go get a KAC SR25 and get a course from Jack Leuba and Ash Hess from Quantified Performance. They are both employed at Knights. They host matches, etc. Thank you for continuing to post videos!

Are you still hard target focus, with your reticle blurry, like when shooting a red dot?

Curious if the psa chf barrel is different than bcms

What 6.5 creedmor gun would you get? An Ar-10? Something bolt?

was everyone running 16" barrels or were there some 18" and 20"?

How much did you win in Reno 😂?

I would stay with AR15 and go with 6ARC or 6MAX instead of AR10

In keeping your rifle as more of a generalist setup with the 1-6, do you plan to keep the bipod on it? To put it differently, would you rather run the long range work (matches, classes, etc) without a bipod, or run close range work with it?

Youre not making wind calls at 1000 yds with 5.56, youre making wind prayers.

Why not a 1:8, or 1:10? I like AAC otm, sierra match, 77 gr

Oh I see Ben actually mounted his scope, and his handguard correctly. Hey US Navy, this is what an rifle is supposed to look like.

Don't do it, Ben. Stay away from the long distance stuff. We need you to stay in the pistol game.

I dunno Ben, I get what you're saying about training on those 2moa targets at 100. You definitely can develop skill that way in terms of fundamentals and such. BUT...I think for you that might actually be a waste of time. Don't you already have those skills? Like, you know how to shoot a rifle. You know how to pull the trigger. For someone at your level--wouldn't reading the wind be the main thing you would need to develop? I guess I don't know what would really be different from how you normally shoot a rifle. I only practice out to 500m cuz that is what I have available.
