welcome to the social regressive today we're going to be running the unknown
distance challenge which is a difficult drill for both the trigger man and the
spotter they have to figure out the distance to these targets right here
this is just a clay pigeon set inside one of these Duraseal clay pigeon
target holders these things are really slick you just take these things into
the ground and we're gonna be putting these things just at random places out
in a field and then the marksman and the spotter have to use their either rifle
scope or the the spotting scope and this has a milling reticle inside it so they
can use this to try to get an estimate to the distance to the target and then
try to hit it with a single shot if they can but just try to to nail that
down in as few shots as possible last time we did this we use the savage model
10 GRS and 6.5 Creedmoor and we are going to be using a new rifle this is
one that I know that a lot of you guys have been waiting to see this is the
savage 10 be a stealth evolution and I gotta say that all the hype out there is
well-deserved this thing is it's a beast it's really really neat rifle it is just
very solid and it kind of upgrades over the last stealth and that you do get
kind of a top cover for the handguard to get a lot more rail space if you want
want to run irons or if you want to put some kind of night-vision device out on
the end of this thing you also get the big other significant upgrade is the
Magpul PRS Gen 3 buttstock so this includes the usual cheek riser and you
know kind of butt pad spacer out here that you can adjust but you also can
adjust cant on the butt pad and you can raise and lower it you just loosen up
these two screws and you can move this thing around so you can make this thing
fit you or the next user in line and you can make this thing very comfortable
so yeah this thing as far as I can tell and just limited testing so far it's
very very accurate wonderful rifle it is still chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and we
will be firing the same ammo as last time this is federal American Eagle 140
Green open tip match ammo that performed very well for us in a very similar
configuration and remember that this barrel even though externally it is the
same it's fluted it's a varmint taper 24 inches this one is different on the
inside it's a 5r rifling on this twist is the same I think it's a 1 and 8 so we
should get pretty much the same ballistics out of this and it's going to
be just a real lot of fun today 10 round magazine here in the bottom and then up
top Bushnell has loaned us this HDMR2 scope which I'm just in love with I love
that Horus reticle first focal plane mrad everything very very clear crisp
glass this is going to help us a whole lot this will actually be more precise
than the the spotting scope that we're going to be using to figure out
distances this one will actually be a little bit easier to figure that out on
the muzzle end of the barrel you'll see that I have replaced the muzzle break
that comes on it from the factory I put on a suppressor adapter and a suppressor
we're gonna be running quiet today just because there may be some folks inside
the house that we don't want to bother and it really aids communication between
the trigger man and the spotter now let's do a little refresher real quick on the
method that we're using to to figure out range to target which is the big deal
hitting something at a known distance you know we have our ballistics chart
and that's all worked out so that's easy enough but where things get tricky is
figuring out how far away this thing is in the first place so we're using a
method that I employ when I'm out prairie dog varminting if I know vaguely
the size of my target then I can use the lines inside the scope I can measure how
large this thing is you know between those lines and then from that I can
look at a little chart that I've created and that'll tell me how far away this
thing is on an estimate the scope that we're using works really really well for
that just because it has so much precision in the reticle this thing will
measure 0.2 milliradians if you use the lines it's down to like point zero six
or something so you can measure very very fine details and we can get the
distance to that thing so once we have this
from there you know we look at the drop table figure out just how much drop to
apply to the scope and then we we try to figure out wind based on Mirage and
other wind cues let's get to it okay
well it looks like I was to the right a little bit
dc2 got another Doug measure about 0.5
yep that's what I got it puts 275 one up one left or rather one at point one left
oh yeah I could watch that bullet sail in there is a gorgeous yeah now pop out
the lower-right on that yeah you did all right yep maybe about 0.35 yeah roughly
okay so that's 375 yards yeah all right so that's 1.7 and then point to windage
give it just a little bit extra okay that was high give it point two on the
wind and bring it down just a touch hold on yeah that one skipped off the ground
yes honestly the feel of the rifle is great I do like the extra cant on the
grip here not a huge fan of the stock the the last time we did the unknown
distance challenge with the what what stock was on that one the GRS the GRS I
love that stock that's probably actually one of my favorite stocks out of shot
the rifle itself though is amazing the platform fills the scope as we found out
last time we did this challenge is just amazing I mean the scope is just right on
you've got enough markers in there that you can accurately estimate your
distance your windage everything you need but you don't have so much that
it's too busy and it's actually in the way of your shot yeah the bolt it's
very smooth I mean honestly it could probably use just a smidge more oil on it but that's
nothing against the rifle the trigger is amazing I am loving this trigger
okay
extending
I'm reading 0.8 perfect side-to-side and for a five mile an hour wind looking at
0.2 perfect hit
just under 350 okay 1.5 you vertical
oh it's clean okay your side to side looked right on what do you think - high -
high's what I'm guessing I'll bring it down to one point - oh yeah in the
background okay I think it's closer to point four point four puts us at between
325 and 350 okay well I saw it to the right okay
Oh money that was beautiful I backed off the wind a little bit the
Mirage is nice
you hit him right in the heart highway it's right side now you hit him
right in the lung yeah here are my final notes after today's test this rifle is
just solid very well put together it feels great in hand accuracy is
spectacular it was just easy to take out these things I missed a couple out at
the long range you know so I had to take a second shot it was just an issue of
the wind really just you know not reading how much wind there was it was a
little bit more than we were expecting mirage was a little tricky to read today
it's a you know it's a pretty cool day but eventually we could we could kind of
see what the wind was doing and yeah it took me just you know two shots to get
the far two targets and of course hitting that steel silhouette out there
it was just easy as nothing yeah this thing is it's really just squared away
it's nice to have that adjustability when Cole was testing you know he
adjusted some things on here to fit his body a little bit better the grip I was
expecting this grip to be a little bit annoying just to be honest the the Hogue
grips they have you know that backward rake to them which even on an ar-15 I
really like something it's a little bit more vertical and really if there were
just one part to swap out it might be that but really actually I felt pretty
darn good today - I didn't mind it one little bit so yeah everything just
worked together really well of course the Bushnell HDMR2 that I did that
review on wonderful scope this did a great job there was apo I shift a point
of impact shift with with the suppressor on there I originally zero this thing
with the the muzzle brake on and the muzzle brake is very effective by the
way it works very very well so we'll do some work with that a little bit
later but yeah running with the can here I just had to adjust I guess it was
point nine had to bring my point of aim up or I had to bring my point of impact
point nine Milliradians and then we were
with everything else a lot of fun testing today thanks for coming along
on this and we will be having more parts to this series we're going to be just
doing all kinds of fun stuff I think we're gonna hit eggs again with this
rifle and we're gonna punch some paper we're gonna do some stuff work out some
