Howdy, guys and gals! I'm Kyle Broderick. Welcome to the Social
Regressive. Today we're gonna be taking a look at this rifle right here. This is
Cole's 458 SOCOM rifle and tell us about the rifle you have here. The lower
itself is a DPMS with Magpul furniture, the upper is the rock river arms so it's
what's amazing about this gun is it is incredibly light you know it's a big old
fat barrel but it's got a big fat hole going through the center of it. and so
today I'll go ahead and tell them what we're gonna be doing we're going to be
mounting the new Bushnell prime scope on top of the rifle this is a one two four
right here it seems like this is probably designed for your slug guns
and for some of your heavier calibers. it's definitely gonna be for a
close-range sort of work yeah true 1/2 for X and it has a pretty small diameter
objective lens you can see right here I think this is a 32 millimeter if I'm if
I'm remembering correctly on that one inch tube and it does have some very
well machine turret caps and some really pretty turrets right here. these are
fingertip adjustable you don't have to have any kind of wrench or anything so
it's really neat to have features in what is actually a pretty good bargain
scope these are gonna come in at a fairly low price you might want to check
these out now actually I'm gonna be taking a look at three of the new scopes
from Bushnell. they've released three whole new lines all at once. they had the
engage last year and now all of a sudden they're getting the prime out there that
nitro and the forge and I'm gonna be testing all three of those in some
various challenges and on different rifles here in the future but yeah we're
gonna do the prime on here and this should be good to go for absorbing the
recoil from the 458 SOCOM. and they'll the mount that we're going to put it on
is a one-piece we're amount one inch right here and this has big thumb nuts
so if on an ar-15 you wanted to be able to just kind of tighten it down with
your fingers this is going to do the job. in the case of 458 SOCOM I'm not going
to do that yeah I think that we should definitely
they torque this puppy down and I'll show you the torque wrench we'll be
using here but this should be pretty straightforward
the first thing we want to do is get the torque right on those big thumb screws
down at the bottom so we're gonna crank this to 45 pound inches down at those
bottom ones. the torque wrench we're using is the Weaver torque wrench and
this guy has all kinds of little bits you can put in there so you can do your
your torque screws and regular Phillips all that good stuff basically anything
you're gonna need on your rifle what we're going to do now is figure out the
perfect eye relief for setting this scope getting it precisely on the rail
so that when he brings this rifle up to fire he'll be able to look just
straight through it and then he won't have to kind of move his face around in
order to see anything. so what I'm gonna ask you to do is close your eyes bring
the rifle up comfortable mm-hmm now open your eye don't move yeah all right now
first off as far as elevation goes where's your eye how are you hi I'm hi
okay all right so go ahead and bring your face down just a little bit so you
can look through mm-hmm all right now I'm gonna move this scope back and forth
here until it's the exact right spot and for this you want to be on your max
magnification if you are preparing a prone rifle get in your prone position
if you're gonna be a benchrest competitor get on a bench or something to figure out
where your face is gonna be on your rifle and then adjust your scope. in this
case this is gonna be an offhand rifle which is why we're standing right now so
I'm just gonna move this around you tell me when it's perfect and you can tell me
which direction to go oh I'm sorry my perfect up-and-down because that's
what you're doing it helps if you don't block the light.
yeah that's pretty good right there right there okay now this is pretty
close you can actually go forward with the two sword and not causing problems
okay good just tell me when to stop. yeah I'm not getting any tunneling. I
think that's probably that's probably where we're at okay this is his spot so
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take a pencil and I'm going to mark right up
against one of the Rings where the scope should stop and now if it slides around
any while we're getting things set up it's okay we know our spot and we can
fix the can't and all that so that's the next part we're gonna take this to the
bench tighten everything down and figure out they can't first tighten everything
down and then we should be good to go. pretty simple next we need to find level
so what we're going to do is we're going to use a metal ruler and a spirit level
and we're going to figure out well first off are we actually level with the rail
we're gonna use this little flat section right here this is going to be our flat
this needs to be parallel to this right here now of course there are all kinds
of ways to level a scope this is not necessarily one of the most precise ways
if you have a precision rifle with a high magnification scope you want to do
the one where you shine light through the scope and use a plumb bob and all
that good stuff in order to figure out if you're level. in this case however this
is a close-range weapon it doesn't really matter we can do the quick and
dirty method. I like quick and dirty.
that's good there all right so to make sure we're even on all the screws and
show you what we're doing here getting it placed and then I'm actually backing
it out until I hear the click knowing that the threads are just engaged. so
right there it is alright and then we're counting six full turns on each of them
to start so one two three four five six now going in the same pattern on each h
pass i go through we're gonna do half turns so half half I'm going to do that
until I start feeling resistance so continuing half half half alright
starting to get into resistance now have
alright so after this we're gonna go in quarters.
quarter quarter it shouldn't be much more there we go then I'm gonna continue
that pattern going a couple more passes there's because as you tighten one down
another one may loosen up just enough that it needs a little bit extra grease
so now that you've taken a look what do you think and honestly i love it and i
was i've never mounted an object before so I'm really glad you went through this
step-by-step with me and I didn't know there was that much to it you know
obviously I see the need for that much too when you're you know -- a 6.5
Creedmoor and you're launching six hundred eight hundred thousand yards
easy. this is however it's gonna be more of a 100 175 yard gun and I am planning
on taking it deer hunting this year and so that's gonna be real fun. they're
basically just gonna drop where they stand of course that depends on me and
my shot placement but I'm competent yeah and the rifles that totally get it done
this is if there's anything about Rock River, they are precise. this is gonna lay
the hurting on them pretty darn well absolutely as far as
the glass itself it is incredibly clear I was really surprised at this price
point and how clear the glass is yeah yeah that's the thing about all these
scope manufacturers nowadays that are coming up with all these new designs
we're talking about Bushnell and Nikon and all the others they all seem to be
cranking out much better glass and they have even just five years ago these new
lines this prime right here from Bushnell is much clearer in the glass
then you would imagine the the older banners for example. they were fine
scopes they got the job done but their glass did not compare at all
to this this seems to have excellent resolution edge to edge this is going to
have all kinds of wonderful coatings on the glass we're gonna do a full review
on this the Nitro and the forge and then a handful of other scopes this year I'm
really excited because I'm gonna get to test out a whole bunch of different
optics this year and we're not just gonna test them by looking through them.
we're gonna test them in practical tests like this right here don't forget
that we have the the one-mile savage 12FV series that we're working on this
is a precision 6.5 Creedmoor rifle it started as a budget rifle it actually
cost me only 220 bucks we are working this thing up adding all kinds of components
to it and we are going to be doing all kinds of hand loading making this very
precise. and then our final kind of culminating test is striking our big
