how do you guys in gals I'm Kyle Broderick welcome to the social
regressive we have a couple of guest testers today that you've you might
have seen in some other stuff before Kendrick is a newcomer here but we have
Denver he was in the one of the six hundred yard F class videos and yeah
we're out here at a very large field and we're going to be firing the savage
axis project rifle that we kind of shelved for a good long while just
because you make started getting into some other things and I really wanted to
prove this thing at really long range so we took some shots with this out at
1,450 yards I told you that I would do the 1,000 yard test with this thing
just to see how well it does now that the longer ranges because we have the
ballistics I mean really seven millimeter oh eight very little wind
drift very little drop it's just a really great cartridge especially with
these big 162 grain eld match bullets reportedly yeah these things are super
super slick moving out pretty fast and yeah we were able to tag this thing so
we're going to show you some of the footage of us trying to hit the the
plate hitting the plate a couple times and you know there isn't all that much
to see until we get up close but we're gonna throw in a little b-roll at the
end too and if you have not seen the build on this the whole series that we
put together building this rifle you gotta check it out it has a savage axis
action as the Stevens 200 barrel but it's essentially you know an axis barrel
it has a tuned up trigger we did all kinds of stuff to the stock to a cure
eyes it this is a falcon em 18 plus SFP scope on here all a milliradian
wonderful scope I really like this thing Kydex cheek riser on the back and we you
know we did some other things with the butt pad it's just been a really neat
project and it's nice to kind of finalize it with a test like this so
let's go check it out
let's set the stage we hung a 2/3 IDP a AR 500 target up on the side of a hill
don't worry about the cows there are actually hundreds of yards away from the
target and it's kind of funny to watch them look up to figure out what the
sound is our bullets are flying way over their heads I use the brand new highly
recommended Nikon Monarch 3000 stabilized rangefinder to find the
distance from the target back to our vehicles that turned out to be one
thousand four hundred fifty one point three yards ranging a distance like this
is usually impossible without support of some kind but the gyro stabilizer in the
monarch 3000 smooths everything out and it makes it so I can take a reading from
a standing position watch for the upcoming full review on
this rangefinder because it is amazing you got to keep in mind that I'm ranging
a far-off target from a standing position and basically in a gale you're
going to notice a lot of wind noise in this video and it can't be helped every
one of the shots that we took at this target has to deal with a full value
wind ranging from 20 miles an hour up to 30 miles an hour because of these
conditions we did hit the limitations of the turret adjustments on the Falcon and
the 18-plus we were able to dial nearly all of the
drop and for milliradians of wind but this is what our hold ended up looking
like through the scope remember that this rifle started life as a base model
savage axis there's no accu trigger no heavy barrel to see all the work that
went into turning this into a comfortable half MOA gun
check out my thousand yards for five hundred dollars build series I detailed
every step I took to accurized the gun and make it more ergonomic the stock is
the foundation for any rifle and this Boyd's pro varmint did its job reliably
especially with the steel pillars and action betting that I installed the
pistol grip feels natural I didn't even have to think about my hand position
during this test we still have no idea when I hit the target the wind noise
drowned out the sound totally we couldn't see the target swing eventually
though Denver suspected that I had hit it and we drove up to check
that's that looks like an exit maybe it wasn't in a hole round but it
was yeah place a piece of see that well you have hit a milk jug at fourteen
hundred and fifty yards it's official my man oh that is wild
in this wind - yeah it's gotta be blowing 30 momme alright so this right
here yeah that's the three o'clock that was calling right here - three o'clock
come through and hit the board back here tumbled as you can see the silhouette of
the bullet here turns talking sideways sideways and just blew this whole back
out and made a good distinct spray of debris and then and then that one right
there also that could have been the other splash right behind it look behind
it next rifleman Denver brought out his savage 11 VT in 308 Winchester launching
178 grain eld match bullets he got dialed in really quickly on his SW FASS
10x scope and everyone rightly fears the transonic barrier but Denver's bullets
cruised right through to subsonic speeds without any apparent disturbance yeah
you're to the right bring it left one and a half mil bring it down point two
that was at the base of the target
uh-huh okay elevation good bring it right one full milliradian that wind is
just slapping around
despite a host of close shaves none of those bullets managed to tag the plate
Kendrick had a choice of the savage stealth evolution or the project rifle
and he chose the project rifle what took me 30 shots took him 10 that was about
it was low and left ya half milliradian low after beau radiant left know
everything's making it through the transonic dude yeah yeah there's solid
the bullets went in straight Oh
get another one quick I mean that was inches off the right side take that
exact same hold move it just the tiniest amount to the left and you got it
yeah yeah wonder if the boat got hit it looks like there could be some burn
marks on home right there 450 yards if you're wondering if 308 or seven
millimeter oh eight bullets launched from that distance or deadly check out
the trees the bullets buried themselves in so deep we couldn't even see a
glimmer of copper we plan to revisit this challenge on a less windy day maybe
even stretching the distance up to a mile make sure you subscribe so you
don't miss the action I plan to test the 6.5 Creedmoor in the
savage stealth evolution and the CM mg mark 3 DTR - thanks for watching if you
