Xring, you deserve more viewers and likes. You are a wealth of knowledge and a great reviewer. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in all of your videos.

My work buddy and I did the Armorers Course for this platform at Barrett about a year and a half ago, highly recommend. It's actually a pretty simple and straightforward system. The Barrett folks were accommodating as always👍

I remember when i came upon this channel years ago i was looking to understand moa and mrad. Im glad this channel is thriving, alive and moving forward i love all the bolt action content. my bolt action is a desert tech srs i would to see your take and review on the rifle.

Ray, excellent. You deserve a million subscribers because you are one of the best. I’d love to see both you and Eric go head to head at between 800-1700 yds. That would be a hoot. Great review as usual and I am always looking forward to your next review.

i keep watching and drooling. had to break my piggy bank and purchased a mrad in 338lm. and barrel kit in .308 from europopitic. picked it up last Thursday. truly a word class rifle system. cant wait to put it through its paces. see you on the range.

Just old guy's observation, pre-load the barrel notch to the left, (CW viewed from muzzle), same as forward loading scope into pic rail, pre-loading for right twist, during torquing to maintain zero....per Barrett Chief engineer. Also, as an engineer, I suggest best practice alternating torque on each screw in steps up to max 140in-lb. Notice the LongRangeArms SendIt! electronic cant device on left side.....the 5 vertical LEDs visible over shooter's left shoulder.. Can't discern it functioning. Use them on all my LR platforms....better than bubble levels. Rail slopes were 20MOA for commercial; 10MIL for Military. All commercial are transitioning to 10MIL standard. FYI, Hornady discontinued production of 300NM due to difficulty in loading and variability. Barrett includes a bag rider that attaches to stock bottom pic rail.....available for commercial MRADs at $75. The MK22 Deployment Kit is pictured in Merriam-Webester next to SWEET!!!!! Barrett is to offer a small V-6 option to move the kit around....... That's why we keep the young guys around. :) :) :)

From the UK , It's always a pleasure watching your videos. I find them interesting and I learn a lot .. Keep up the good work , look forward to many more from you..

Must be nice to have enough clear land to control all the surface danger zones to play with a 338 Lapua mag out to 1,000 yards. Beautiful set up.

Thanks Ray for making this video. What a rifle. It’s definitely a shooter. Have a good weekend sir.

Amazing rifle...Barrett is making a killing on these...!

My mk22 is my pride and joy. I could not love a human baby more than I love that rifle. Accuracy is spot on. Regularly hitting standard 19.5 silhouette tgt at 2600yds

On the barrel change. I think you need to change the bolt head first and lock it into the exchanged barrel (close the action on a loose barrel) before you torque the barrel bolts. Not trying to be an ass but I think this is the proper procedure. Keep up the awesome videos Ray! You are an encyclopedia of knowledge. Thank you.

The Silas Branch Resort is an awesome place. People that work there are superhelpful. I try to get up there once a month when I go to my house in Western NC.

I think a Setup like this deserves atleast a Atlas PSR! Great video and phenomenal setup as usual Ray.

Thank you for bringing this weapon system to us otherwise would probably never get exposure to it

Holy moly what a place!..

I remember being in my teens and going over to jimmy's house when i was a teenager amd it was like being in heaven. My first nightforce scope i owned came from him.. jimmy sloan and my grandpa were damn good friends amd its awesome finally seeing his 338 norma mag where it belongs.

Great videos. I'm a novice here and you are great at conveying your knowledge of these firearms.

Both rifles are great...it's the Shooters I'm envious of :)

u can loosen with those snapon because they are designed to torque in both directions and they arent super precise anyway, i think those click ones are plus or minus 5, but u are correct especially with the dial ones u never break torque with a torque wrench, only tighten . awesome video man. congrats on that beautiful package

Over from tfb TV. Exceptional channel sir. Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom. Setting your 0 at 1000.. awesome. Happy trails.

Awesome rifle. Incredible set-up. Painful price point

Great video. I use the Barrett fix it sticks kit for my MRAD. Nice little package.

Sound quality was like 80's, it actually worked for me. Fitting, but video was crisp!

Im biased due to i live in Tennessee as well as I have the mrad. The mrad is made to run hard not easy. I have spoke with barrett ( you can call them and they answer) I was told the harder i run it the better it performs as you can see. I need that bolt upgrade mine is a pain to change. Great video.

Wish it was a semi automatic like your Cobalt Kinetic. Watching that Cobalt I cannot stop thinking the days of bolt action is over.

Those were some excellent shots pal . You have mad shooting skill . I love them Barrett rifles . Jealous . Yeah . I know a good shooter when I see one shoot 👍👍and you’re good to go . Appreciate your vids .

Thank you for all your shared knowledge and time!

Been waiting for this one thanks for sharing look forward to what's next

Man this is awesome! I live in Burnsville and have been dying to get up there. Can’t believe you were just there!!!!

If you use a torque wrench for loosening for whatever reason. It happens. The trick is to run the torque wrench up to its highest torque value, that way when you crack that bolt loose you're unlikely to exceed what the torques setting was at. I have that exact 1/4 snap on torque wrench. You won't hurt it.

My God the engineering in that bolt face change system is perfection.

Fine facility right there . Greg is a good dude . Ain't no joke shooting from mountain to mountain up there .Took my .223 bolt gun the weekend before the last match there. Congrats on the finish . Look into shooting at Hawks Ridge gun club sometime.,usually a .22 match after the centerfire match once every month.

Man when you said it’s like an MRAD but refined I got excited. I absolutely love my MRAD in .338 Lapua. I have to get my hands on one of the MK22’s now, looks like so much fun to shoot!!

Nice to see Kenny on a field trip …

AI submitted a modified AXMC (AXSR) with a new trigger to the ASR trial. One of the three rifles submitted had a trigger that didn't maintain the adjustment range and they were eliminated.

Awesome video and awesome set up, thank you for the all the knowledge bombs dropped on me. Keep up the awesome vids

This has been wonderful, really enjoyed, thanks so much

I'm not going to get a knock on my door because I watched this ? Lol. Great video.

Guess I'll get the Poor Man's MK22!! Great review!!

Excellent long video! A truly good platform for the guys in the field

Man I really want this rifle!!!

If it’s a Barrett it’s a damn good rifle . I was thinking something is wrong with me because I enjoy shooting rifles so much and going for walks in the woods just to go for a walk ( with a rifle of course ) not to shoot any loving creature most of the time . Just go for a walk and check the trails and see what trees needs to fall . Yeah man . I love shooting rifles . Every once in while I get an itch to master a new rifle . Once they’re set with me they’re set and I mark my adjustments for yardage and stay stocked on the ammo they like . I think it’s a great hobby .

Very nice! Thanks for sharing those amazing pieces!

Hey Ray good to see ya. Just got back again and I'm on my personal comms, hence my name instead of my designator 😂 hope you and your family are well. Virginia is raining and cool. And I'm loving it 😂TC

Shooting and spotting is stand-up. Excellent video

I really liked that Swedish lightweight 300 spr . So cool . This is cool too but yeah . Love em all

Awesome rifle and impressive shooting, range looks very nice, been thinking of checking them out

Been waiting for this!!

Nice! I want to visit that range. Awesome Barrett! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing this experience. 👍

Nice rifles and nice shooting Ray! (Not that I would expect anything else lol)

Oh man what a giveaway this would be 🤑 good shooting, always like your videos and what your content contains.

I prefer the AI platform. I do have the AXSR and can say that it is better, on paper, than the Barrett. What I mean is for the money you have an ARCA system built right into the hand guard and right in front of the magazine well; barrels are easier to get done because it needs only threading where the Barrett needs a special sleeve; AI has a tried and true system from different countries overseas; the action is smooth and gets smoother with use; more adjustments on the stock than the Barrett; lastly there are aftermarket options more for the AI than the Barrett. Just IMHO.

WOW, that price tag but I'm saving up for a Barrett 50 BMG. I think you might have changed my mind on what weapon system I'm saving up for now. Yep I see the MK22 in my collection.

Thanks

Superb breakdown and review. Thank you!

Awesome video and very awesome rifles!!!! Like the long form

Good for you man! Keep it up! I’ll keep trying to catch you !

Teryx! Noisy and hot but climbs like a mountain goat.

Great seeing you shoot this awesome rifle Ray! I have a MRAD in 338 Lapua and would love to shoot that range. Where are you shooting is it open to the public? Thanks!

Really impressive. You really did it on this video!

It took me about a week to get the data book set up for all the calibers for range up from 100 yards to 1 1/2 mile that’s including wind speeds up to you 5 knots

Great vid, you guys really know your stuff 👌

Wow, two amazing rifles, thanks for sharing 👍

The Snap on torque wrench works fine in both directions. I'm sure that's one of the reasons they sent it. It's a killer toqrue wrench.

Ray, first....thanks for all you do. I appreciate your teaching style and attention to detail. You've helped flatten the learning curve to say the least. I have a 338LM MRAD. Watched your kestrel videos after buying mine. Can you recommend a laser range finder? I'm not ready to throw a RAPTAR S on my NF RAP-i just yet. Something compatible with the Kestrel would be cool. Your thoughts? I'm shooting 1000+ in the PNW. Thank you sir!

Ray, I'm still enjoying the channel. I want to finally add a laser range finder to my MRAD. Your thoughts on the Vortex Impact 4000? Are you planning a review on this, or should I just go for it? Looking for a diving board mounted LRF. Thanks!

Tangent Theta scopes are made in Canada!

Stellar... Stellar. KUDO'S brother!

I'm new here, and these dudes are cool man! 🆒😎

What brand of chest rig is your host wearing?

bonjour magnifique vidéo et magnifique ensemble dans cette valise multi calibre multi canon pour cette carabine de précision barrett mk22 barrett a fait un magnifique travail merci de se partage cordialement

Got both. Ai for short action barrett for magnums The ai quick change has me very interested in barrel burners like 22 creed now!

I'm definitely going to use that next time one of my friends/ co-workers brag on their 2 or 3 shot groups ! Lol Lmfao

Nice rifles Ray. You finally showed something I won't be buying. Either one. But the match up and barrel changing showed impressive results. Kenny and you, Ray make a team that's going to be hard to beat all things considered.

lol… The MK22 and MRAD w/folding stock are identical platforms just one have a deployment kit and the other just a single barrel.

Excellent video thanks for the vdeo and time 👍

That thing seems amazing.

Hey guys I'm from Burnsville and didn't know we had a place like that in Mississippi, 😂🤣🤣😂.

Great video

By the end of the year I'm hoping to get a desert tech m2. First two barrels 6.5 creed and 338 lapua. Then I'd like a 6 dasher and 7saum. That rifle will be my long range plinker. After that, I'd like a light chassis system chambered in 7-08 and either something in the 7 mag range or 300 mag for a hunting rifle. Weight restriction suck. I have absolutely no idea what rifle that will be, but I know it will have to be modular. I'm not against getting another bullpup for that rifle. I'm short and don't like dragging around a rifle that looks like a Davy Crockett rifle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My main focus in shooting has been reloading, so I'm falling behind on all the new rifles out there.

I reckon they should’ve gone .338 LM instead of .338 NM. Someone will chamber the 300NM into the .338 barrel at some point. 300NM and 338NM are the same case. Probably done it to save on bolt faces and ammo production behind the scenes.

Awesome man.

This is just everything I’ve always wanted, I just need an opportunity to make it all happen...

I keep hearing that the new m lock version of the mrad is almost identical specs to the mk22. Apparently just as accurate, but 12k less.

IVE GOT A 308 NORMA MAGNUM CUSTOM BUILT 24IN BARREL, IT WILL GET OUT THERE

Dude, you sure can shoot !!!

For those who can...I salute you.

***Cries softly in Ruger American

Great video man 🤙

Looks like you're using the Otto Noizebarrier Micros? I have a set as well; got them so that my stock doesn't disrupt the seal of the over-ear type muffs. But curious to know if you've tried anything else on the market when it comes to in-ear pro and what your thoughts on them are.

that rifle is a luxury !!

Thoughts on the MK22 vs AI AXMC?

At minutes 3:14 did I see a black bear run across left to right just down the slope? Right when you say "little cool areas cut in" , low center of frame., Only visible a second right before you zoom. In the small gap just behind the downed logs;

Hey now, that ain't to far from me. I've been wanting to get out there for a couple years now

Would love to have something like this, but wouldn't love feeding it very often....

Wow I never knew about that range in Burnsville, Looks pretty awesome, speaking of SOCOM and Barrett rifles Ray, I think you should pull some strings and get a few of these mythical new geissele 6mm ARC magazines... I keep hearing different things about what is being shipped and then used with the Barrett 6mm ARC DOD rifles 🤔 I'm wondering if D&H has possibly redesigned a new generation dedicated mag which geissele rebranded (like they did previously with the 5.56 mags until someone busted them for quadrupling the price for stamping their name on the floorplate) or even OKAY ind., they don't appear to be a copy of anything else available that I can find, they look to somehow have nearly the exact curvature and dimensions of a stanag mag but with 25rds of 6mm ARC, and for only $60 each! (It says geissele on the side too, so it's definitely worth it, even if they don't feed) 🤦‍♂️

Awesome rifle

That Mk22 looks badass. Wish I could fire one from ~1k yards.
