Hey, all you cool cats and kittens. this is Kyle Broderick with the social
regressive, and we have a big old cat here for you today. we are looking at the
savage A22 Pro Varmint this comes pretty much as you see it from the
factory I have made some tweaks here and today Billy and I are gonna do a little
bit of know your limits we're gonna see how far we can push this back right now
we're sitting at 150 yards that should give you a good indication of what this
rifle is capable of we're gonna be firing at just kind of a 2/3 IDPA
steel target and we're gonna see when we actually start missing as we back up
here this is designed for precision you guys there may be interested in the nlr
22 or just doing some tactical work, plinking around really quietly this is
gonna get the job done and what's the ammo we're firing today
today we're firing federal premium targets gold-medal 22 long-rifle okay
yeah and we had a couple issues today a couple light primer strikes other than
that they're they're pretty accurate so yeah I've had pretty good luck with
these I've had some hollow points group a little bit better in here but
overall these have a really consistent velocity we'll get into targets later
but we're gonna start this video out just by showing what we can do kind of
in a practical scenario so up top we have the SW FASS this is one of the $300
fixed power models 12x right here and this is sitting in a little bit of a
weird contraption I had this all set up for hitting 500 yards and yes this
actually can hit at 500 yards unfortunately we can't see at 500 yards
out here it's just there's no dust it's just a little too muddy a little too wet
can't see a thing but we have made a couple hits today and we'll just say
that it can. you made at least one. yeah one hit yeah down here but this has an
extra 20 MOA Reiser attached here this is a utg product this normally has just
a Picatinny base at the bottom and I have slapped this extra riser in between
the scope rings and and the scope here so that I can get an extra 20 MOA to
to get out there because we're talking about a crap-ton it's over 25 milliradians
of drop at 500 yards so we had to have something to kind of compensate
for that but as far as the rifle goes up front we have a threaded muzzle this is
heavy as you can see it's fluted the action is semi-auto and it is very
smooth and overall this is much more accurate than the the b22 that I tested
a while back a bolt-action which kind of blew me away this will show you some of
the targets but this is sweet we have just a cheap Caldwell bipod and then
back here we have a custom cheek riser that I designed using Kydex if you want to
see that whole tutorial on how to do that I'll put a link over here and let's
get going you're up just want to do it was by the way it was 1 mil from where I
was aiming ok alright so was he well stronger right
yeah
get it right in the kidney good guy he'll at least leak out I'm making
Billy go first so he can get all that the windage figured out and I can
just come in like oh that's funny you can only see a little bit of the target
exactly oh no no no thank you
nope okay well let that one go oh yeah
okay I can't see the impact because of that little bird that we hit there might
be a hit the very bottom I thought I saw a swing just slightly yeah
put another one at it and see what happens we'll call that a hit in a very
tender area finish the poor man off
it's I heard that one ring nice hit Oh interesting the wind just switched
we'll see how good I'm zeroed this is telling me to aim to the right now it's
boiling oh that was a miss wasn't it was well I'm out but I'm gonna keep firing
that's it yeah where did that hit oh I see the shoulder left shoulder I think
so alright well Billy's the winner we're
gonna keep firing anyway hey Billy hey lady the drop is oh and I just backed
out so now we're in kovat range and I lost the page oh here we go alright
three hundred nine point two four on the drop watch it is nine point two nine
point you yep okay and windage is two-and-a-half mmm so far no actually
the wind is backed off so make it like one and a quarter like primary strike
again
ah sing that in your juice box and suck it sell it it I want to do that again
do it oh I don't know where that way man that's like my wind is change down there
yeah it's switching back and forth there it is not it that I was one left
oh yeah hitting one half to the left
hi I saw there I heard it I think you clipped the edge it hit just to the
right I heard it just a little ring it is so nice aw that one the scope I can
roll focus right here this is the parallax adjustment on this fixed power
and normally where the zoom ring is and I can roll through different winds I can
see different winds and the Mirage out there and it's just my guess which one
is the strongest one it's gonna have the biggest effect this is actually really
tough it's something I wouldn't have to think about with a centerfire
let's try for a head hit I'm exempting all right all under 350 yeah I want you
tell the folks at home how the wind is switched on here
so right now I'm looking I know I'm looking at a mirage going from the right
to the left and I got grass up close going left to right so I've adjusted one
mill to the right and right now we're at with our elevation 12.8 yeah 12.8 so
well we'll send one and see what happens
not sure I think I saw just to the left okay that sounds about right or in our
face now
No are you seeing a mirage running from left to right now yeah it's changing no
idea
I said I could freakin hit it alright I was go I held up another two
milliradians and one milliradian to the left
that's an MP mag okay hey yeah 350 from a center from a rimfire uh-huh
that's not that easy to do I'll put the ammo here is a beauty clip just set it
on the end the end of the barrel right below this go perfection now see if
it'll stay that's a mess it's switching back and forth yeah you beat me listen
to that hang time do you all right now I need to describe what I'm looking at
through this scope first off I only see half the target I see a whole lot of
grass it's like a whole bunch of fingers covering most of the target I can see
about half of it and the Mirage is so thick it's like it's like what Billy
said it's like seeing it through smoke now the wind just switched it's going
right to left now
yes
let's see how many wins we're dealing with now it's alright to left now
no all right okay that time I was totally zeroed out we must have a little
bit of a zero bias on this it's pushed just a little bit one direction yeah I
feel that I think that's accurate yep yep okay that's it yeah I went out when
I hit though you did all right
the rifle works great what do you think Reese
stepping back are we gonna call this the limit I think we should call this a
limit because we got too much Mirage going on down there yeah it's hard to
hard to focus the target yeah I agree all right why don't you get down here
tell me what you did and the scope what I really like about this scope is that
you can you have the function ability to it be able to crisp thank you make your
view more crisp and clear with this this focus ring here and another thing I do
like is that on the turrets here you can adjust them and they actually show you
how many milliradians you have gone yes I missed that with a lot of scopes out
there yeah they'll have a lot of accurate tracking but you don't get that
little gradient you don't get that measurement right and it's it's really
easy to know that I'm right now I met eight you know yeah I'm up quite a bit
right now so that's that's really handy to have to have to be MC because then
you can know but back to where your zero is pretty pretty easily
the reticle in it is it's one of my favorites I I like that I like a pattern
on it yeah it's also very easy to see your target through oh yeah this is what
they call that nil quad so I've used some of the Falcons that have just hash
lines and this one has diamonds for every full milliradian so it's just
whatever you like if you like lines there are plenty that have that Bushnell
uses it I think vortex uses it and this one just does
something a little different it's it's really cool each of those means
something to you can measure all kinds of stuff
screw the CDC guidelines now that we've seen their rifle in practice guys make
sure that you don't miss the review that's coming up we're going to do a
