      Lmao there's a time and place for irons... A 22lr at 200 is worth having a scope.. a old war rifle like a mosin nagant or Mauser at 500 yes it's worth having a scope. a super modern Gucci laser beam in 6.5 or something fast it's not so much a need but it lets you adjust your impacts way easier

      Stating the obvious but if we ever have a lasting SHTF situation and someone's aim relies on good batteries they could have a problem aiming as batteries will be hard to find. Even an analog scope could be hard to replace if it's broken.

      I hear you old guys the eyes, the day I realized I actually needed scopes and dots was a bummer. As a former Marine I knew 'a few' 😇 guys who could hit a person-sized target at 500 yds, iron sights, from any position, no matter how windy. Some could even dial in without a warmup. But 2" targets? 😲 You call that guy a brain surgeon.

    Off the subject of the topic of this video a little but I had to say this here. I just got my EC Tuner Brake for my 300 PRC build and first impressions are great. Simple packaging with a little humor. NO excess. No instructions, if you are ordering one of these, you don't' need it. No extra allen wrench that you have a hundred of lying around that you can't find anyway because they come in every other package that you get.

      Inability to tune magazines and choosing rounds that are not well suited for the magazine plus not being fed with crf. Push feeds are a hope for the best kind of thing if you don't have them tuned right. Crf gives you a better chance at suboptimal setups working.
      Most of these setups are pretty tame. I've got a couple that are way off in the weeds of "that shouldn't work" but they work for me. Like my .510 whisper.

    uh-oh!!! Did you see the flinch and anticipation of recoil at 19:27? He pulls his head back on every shot. Take that dang scope off that rifle and get into it. He looked so uncomfortable behind that rifle with the scope pushing into his head like that. All in all, great shooting.

  • @TexasLeverGunner
    @TexasLeverGunner 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It's definitely an advantage shooting this with iron sights when the light dims due to the cloud cover. The white gets hard to see when it's lit up. It's why most silhouette targets are black in the iron sight silhouette disciplines.

    • @JimYeats
      @JimYeats 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      He’s using windage to hit the targets to the right. He likely can’t actually even see the smaller targets, so he’s holding on the big target and just adjusting windage to approximately where they should be at.

    I dont think open sights will ever clean the KYL rack.
    I have a Lee enfield no4 mk2 with parkerhale peep sights. It is capable of 1 moa groups with my reloads. I am able to hit a 20 inch target at 500 yards with about 3 out of 5 shots. Now this is in near perfect conditions with a spotter to walk me in first. In my opinion the biggest challenge is even seeing the target it feels like guessing where the target is half of the time. so I dont see someone hitting a 2 inch target out at 500 yards. With open sights anytime soon. But man is it amazing seeing everyone trying and actually doing pretty great.
