Wow. I was just searching TH-cam for budget long range, watched a few vids, and thought I wonder if my boy Overton has any vids on this subject... Not 2 hours ago this was uploaded. Thanks man!
love this! My .308 savage 10 was 750, swfa scope 249 with that same bipod with a dish towel for a cheek rest.. shoot F class @ 300 yards for a couple years with it and smoked many a 10k bench queens on the monthly. pissed off one guy some much next to me he packed up mid tourney and left to never return. I spent all my time working on my loads and ballistics vs fancy gear. Took her out july 4th and she still holds a great group with bergers and Varget.
I have some rifles that are $699 and some rifles, so decked out you could purchase a pre-owned Prius with 4 brand new tires in the upper $14k mark, and when you get into price range its really isn't fun. Pretty much point, aim, hold, and squeeze with linked up bullet drop indicators autohold off and blue tooth kestrel custom built ammo. Then you take that $699 rifle with a $15-1600 scope on it, build and work up a couple of load variations, and test how far you can stretch that round. I prefer cheaper rifle setup and a challenging shoot day!!
that works to I help run some smaller marksmanship classes that focuses on the basics and 9/10 time they need the stock built up those materials are readily available and work great for what we do
I have the Mossberg Patriot .308 and changed that to an MDT LSS Gen 2 chassis. I have a TC Compass II in .308 that I had used the original stock and for that, I used craft foam, Goda Grip, and some vet tape. The foam and vet tape from Amazon. You can also get it in camo. And I have the Mossberg Patriot Predator Strata in 7 PRC cerakote and I put that in a chassis. My problem with the Mossberg Patriot stocks is that I cannot get enough torque on the rear action screw because they use the mag well as a shim and that is a gap in the rear action screw guide. Put the Patriot in a chassis or even a Boyd's with pillar bedding and you have a 1 MOA or less rifle that will perform, regardless of heat.
I kinda did the same thing with my Mossberg ATR, 3006 several years back. The stock was very flimsy so I dropped in a length of 1/4-20 all thread in JB weld, glass beded the stock with tainless steel action screw pillars. Cleaned up the bolt action some as well. Puts everything in a dime at 100yrds.
I always love the budget builds. I picked up a model 70 for $500 twenty years ago so I won’t need it but I do enjoy seeing what you can do for very little money.
I use a microfiber towel to adjust height and “custom” carve a 1/2 a pool noodle for the shape, and use the kings adhesive, duct tape to hold it together. Works like a charm
this is just the kind vid I was hoping was on the way. I too have made the poor mans cheekwell, just with different material and covered by a $7 sleeve that holds bullets so i don't have to look at the abomination I created
I enjoyed his sniper 101 series and was in the middle of going through it and then was put behind a pay wall. Lot of knowledge and value there so I get it.
Those Mossberg Patriots are JUNK!!!! I had one in 30-06 couldn't get it to hold a group for shit with multiple different handloads. Got rid of the POS real quick!
If you must decide whether to use your budget for a better rifle or a higher quality duct tape, the choice is obvious. If it ain’t gorilla tape, it’s SHIT!
I get it budget build..Luv it but a cheek riser kit is only $40.00..Rifle no comfortable shooter no shoot regularly..You are one of the few who have emphasized this point..
“Hello, Radio made easy” I just subscribed & will finish this video. As someone who’s lookin to get out there & touch stuff, I really appreciate the attention to detail you go through in this series
I couldn't get my mossberg Patriot to shoot sub 3 MOA. It was absolutely terrible. Mossberg refused to fix it. Buy a ruger American and be happier (not super happy though, because trigger sucks, and the sound of the zipper bolt)
Well I appreciate it. No 2k$ rifle and 1.5k$ scope shooting 7PRC and my left kidney for sale. And lets not forget no EMP protection and Lvl 16 plate with bunch of garbage on your chest. Now ill go take my slingshoot and practise.
If we can't afford a great rifle right off the bat, how are we supposed to afford a $1000 knife to cut our foam cheek rest?!?! What is the best budget, foam cutting knife we can use?
@@OvertonWindex why did you use a cantilever mount on the build? Just curious bc I only use them on my ARs. For bolt guns I just use the lowest rings that will clear the objective lens
@@darrel15watching from my phone I wasn't able to see that. I was under the impression that it was rings with a solid base. Judging the tone of your reply you're probably using both right now...... Tampons and maxipads!!!🤣
@@Wr3ckZ "Hey guys, i know this isn't my channel, and i'm a smooth brain, but don't listen to this guy and do the stupid thing i'm suggesting".. Yeah... F you, guy. Don't give suggestions if you have no idea what you're talking about. You could influence people who don't know what they're talking about, who WANT to know what they're talking about.
@@OvertonWindexlol I love your responses to people’s comments! 😂 what’s you problem with Bergara?! I’m here to learn the correct opinions of the OvertonWindex!
i think what i like about this is that you can be as creative as you want. You can go out and find nice materials and make a cheek piece or you can do this. Both are gonna work.
These are the videos the haters refuse to watch, I can tell this dude has well over 1000 hours of precision practice. Everything he’s talked about is very knowledgeable and you can tell he’s speaking from experience rather than some shit an old timer had to say (some people take it at face value). Overton certainly doesn’t need my validation but respect no glazing. 🐐🧙🏼♂️🤠

“This problem” (points). Guns chambered in .308. 😂
This is gonna be a good series
When you remove the super duper equipment it forces you to become a better shooter.
Well… for someone that sucks.
HEY… that’s my tape! 🤣
I just tape a pillow to mine. Good for taking naps and giving dirt naps. I prefer the brand MyPillow. Buy one cheek weld get the second free.
He needs all the purchases he can get right now! 😂
@@erico3833 That’s the truth! Haha good ol’ Mike Lindell, a true red blooded American Patriot 🇺🇸🫡
Pool noodles and vet wrap is what I use the most
Steal the foam from the box your rifle came in

Gotta use acoustic foam, that way it helps quiet the shots while your shooting without ear pro ✅ ..
Arken is an amazing company. Scopes are tough and precise
the nicest part of that rifle is the duct tape
That poor truck hood. You're clearly not a paint guy. 🤣
This guy some kind of a billionaire. Thanks for the video dude love the Chanel
Very excited for this.
Ha! I have a stock with gaffer tape and a shop rag. 😎
Is this going to be a hundred parter like Tiborasaurusrex?
I'm down.

Great stuff, this is exactly what I've been wanting to learn.
Damn! That was the same High End Cheekwell Mod that I used on my M14 in Iraq in 2004! 😂
That knife cuts like butter 🧈
I am now going to use 1 picatinny to estimate 1 second.... so long Mississippi.
Cant wait for part 2
Those Mossberg Patriots are JUNK!!!! I had one in 30-06 couldn't get it to hold a group for shit with multiple different handloads. Got rid of the POS real quick!
Spent more on the Gorilla duct tape than on the gun itself. 🤣
Whatcha think about a Bergura HMR in 6.5 Creed or PRS with a Arken?
Red Green would be pleased with you.
Wish we had this series 15 years ago lol
Curious your thoughts on Savage rifles.
So, ordering a universal cheek riser kit w/spacers, from Victor Company, exceeds the budget?
No, it's just dumb. Cause you'll be moving to a chassis soon anyway.
On this episode of the Red Green show…
If you must decide whether to use your budget for a better rifle or a higher quality duct tape, the choice is obvious. If it ain’t gorilla tape, it’s SHIT!
Does the tape taste like real duck??
Ruger American is a way better budget option over the patriot.
Would it not be worth to try mounting the scope with something other than a mount meant for the AR platform
It’s not meant for the ar platform… don’t be so dumb. And no. This is the mount we want.
@@OvertonWindex well then, might as well go ahead and throw on the GBRS Hydra mount while you’re at it
What's your take on a Howa m1500 hogue in 6.5cm? Those things are dirt cheap as well but hear good things all over the place.
quality control is lacking severely. But that's kinda par.
rock on
Dude, less than 2 minutes in, and I'm like LET HIM COOK!!!!!!!!
More like LET HIM TAPE!!!😅😂😅😂😅😂
😅😂😂😂
I get it budget build..Luv it but a cheek riser kit is only $40.00..Rifle no comfortable shooter no shoot regularly..You are one of the few who have emphasized this point..
This is way better and more comfortable than a riser kit. Just not as pretty.
“Hello, Radio made easy”
I just subscribed & will finish this video. As someone who’s lookin to get out there & touch stuff, I really appreciate the attention to detail you go through in this series
Guy sounds like vice grip garage
Gotta love gorilla tape
I think I would've gone with a CVA or Ruger but that's just me.
Yeah it does not matter
It's time for you to try x i just searched for you with no results
Or for 100 bucks go to Bradley cheek rest and buy an adjustable cheek rest.
I couldn't get my mossberg Patriot to shoot sub 3 MOA. It was absolutely terrible.

There isn't one. I'm sorry. This is minimum viable.
I’d go with a savage 110 for a cheap long range rifle definitely not a mossberg they’re junk you can get a savage 110 for the same price
Lower rings would’ve helped 🤣
… no.
@@OvertonWindex why did you use a cantilever mount on the build? Just curious bc I only use them on my ARs. For bolt guns I just use the lowest rings that will clear the objective lens
It's not a cantilever, it's a one piece. Helps to strengthen the receiver and to keep the rings from being canted, twisted or bowed.
@@chrischavez3313cantilever mounts are a form of a one piece mount, I use both. Learn the differences.
@@darrel15watching from my phone I wasn't able to see that. I was under the impression that it was rings with a solid base. Judging the tone of your reply you're probably using both right now...... Tampons and maxipads!!!🤣
Definitely did not watch you build that Live...
Nice
Hey, humble suggestion for everyone else:
Use lower rings!
😂
^dont listen to random morons in my comments sections. Because morons are going to moron.

Oof!
Going kinda hard on the insults, for me simply offering a humble suggestion, aren't ya?

Just buy a Bergara. It’s cheap and super accurate
are you literally retarded?
