we're out here training with some of America's finest soft forces they just
got this really great new sniper rifle called the PSR we're gonna do a few
videos about it but right off the bat I want to talk a little bit about it
PSR stands for precision sniper rifle so it's another big overly heavy sniper
rifle that the military uses and this one's just a little bit different
unlike the 308 rifles or bolt guns that our total tack drivers they've got a
limited range and then you get into other environments you've got the 300
Win mags or the 338 Lapua is a lot of them accuracy international other
companies like that those are good for extremely long ranges rather than having
an arms room with just five or six different types of sniper rifles what's
great about this PSR when they put out for the contract it had to be able to
swap calibers so it's currently set up to fire 308 right you'll notice even as
wide as the magazine well is back down here that this magazine is very very
narrow and now the suppressor to AAC suppressor it's set up all the way for
338 Lapua but it also fits on this barrel it lets a little extra sound out
no big deal but the cool part about this rifle is you can easily change calibers
with it for example this is the 300 Wind Mag barrel what you do is it has a
separate bolt face that you'll swap out with the one that's currently in the gun
and then the barrel we're going to cover this later how to properly swap calibers
but it basically just threads down into the front of the gun this is placed in
the bolt and then you swap magazines now the three of the wind mag in the 338
Lapua magazines both roughly have the same length width is just a little bit
different so what's actually up inside the magazine well while I'm using the
308 which is in right now is there's a block insert
first I didn't like the idea of it but after using it on the range and swapping
back forth swapping mags is really smooth feeds very very well you pop the
plug out you still have that same muscle memory of using that same figure finger
to release the mag swaps right out so now what we have is we have a single
rifle that's capable of reaching out to a mile with a 338 Lapua round very very
heavy projectile run at a very high velocity still maintains all that energy
and it gives you that additional range and when it comes time to actually do
training for example going out to the range doing snaps and movers engaging
practicing shooting moving targets snaps our targets that quickly present
themselves and only stay up for a limited amount of time we call them
snaps and movers when you do them and you practice your leads on the movers
and everything you fire a lot around so you can get down exactly what that lead
is so that sniper can record it now doing that you fire a lot of ammo now
the barrel life on the 338 Lapua very very small where the barrel on the 308
has a very very long barrel life what's really cool about is that I can put this
308 Barrel in send the sniper off to Sniper school and he can put six seven
hundred rounds through it doing snaps and movers and he's really not hurting
the gun at all can easily take that kind of round count comes back he's got to
actually do a real-world mission that requires a long-range shot he can swap
to that the heavier caliber and again he's already got the doubted ballistic
computer gives him the calculations he needs he engaged that target at extreme
ranges so it's very very robust gun it's got the great capability of being able
to swap calibers the stock actually folds they allow for parachute
operations getting in and out of vehicles I set up really really tough
depending on what unit gets it you'll see different scopes come with it I like
that they left scopes is separate that they can change
well because honestly this gun is going to be in the inventory for 20 years
where scope, scopes come and go every year every other year somebody comes out
with a new latest and greatest scope so this scope should not be part of this
gun it should be something I can throw into the wall Locker when something new
comes out on some of the other options you'll see is this particular one has a
Harris bipod lot of other guys want to run the Atlas bipod by B&T industries
there's just there's a lot of different options that you can have on this weapon
alright so hats off to the military they've really finally knocked one out
of park the precision sniper rifle PSR this thing's a homerun
