- In this video I feature what is now my favorite AR-15 I own. This one was setup as a "do-all rifle" with a prioritization towards precision shooting. It's a PRI MK12 Mod H. Like other Mk12s, but with a 16" barrel and collapsing butt stock. Making the overall size the same as any standard AR. Topped with a Vortex Razor HD Gen III 1-10X24 (amzn.to/3lcr9TK) What do y'all think of this rig?

The rig is sweet! I built a civvy mk12, not a clone but the features are present without the high dollar extras. 16 in 6.5grendel. Ff tube. Collapsible stock. First time out 2 bullets in the same hole with a 1 inch cloverleaf. @100yds
I love MK12 clones! My BCM is a fantastic rifle and probably my fave.
One mistake I see people make with rifles (yours as well), is mounting scopes with non-QD mounts with flip up back up sights. Kinda pointless and it bugs the hell out me.
Interesting you used rings instead of a one piece mount. Im about to throw a Burris 2-10 Veracity on a 16” Sig M400.
I think some Magpul Gen 3 20 round mags would really look nice with the setup you have, which I'm already kinda jealous of!
What length is the forearm? 14” or 15”?
I recently completed a Mk12 Mod 0 "tribute" build in 6.5 Grendel. It's one of my favorite rifles in my collection.
That is cool 😎! Great idea 💡. I've got a budget 6.5 Grendel and I really like it.
Built a 6.8SPC MK12 type build, 18 inch barrel and 4-14 primary Arms optic. Absolutely love it. My brother has a sweet 6.5 Grendel build also.
Is it a " clone correct " 6.5? I ask because I had a 6.5 mod H inspired carbine. It's my donit all.
Grendel is the king of AR-15 calibers.
I watched Practical Accuracy yesterday. With a 16" barrel and 77gr Sierra match hit 4 out of 5 shots at 1000yds. Mind you that 16" barrel had a 1:9 twist. Now the point of the video was 77gr bullets are supposed to be less stable with a 1:9 twist. They may vary depending upon barrel from what the video stated, but they looked to be very accurate at 1000yds with the 1:9 twist.
I always thought the same. 1:9 was supposed to not be capable of stabilizing much more than 62-65ish. Maybe I just had crappy barrels. I haven’t owned a 1:9 since my bushmaster in 2002 or so. And that rifle wasn’t as accurate as the new barrels are. Wasn’t even a floated barrel. Couldn’t find accessories worth a damn back then but I do miss buying 2700 round battle packs of South African surplus for $95.
Im a simple man... I see MK12... I hit like...
I see toob, I heart react
Simple man with great tastes
Very stolen very ghey
You game nerds and LARPers are so 😬 to the gun hobby
@@TheAsheybabe89 thanks my military ribbons and medals appreciate the feedback.
As someone who's not a fan of plain Jane ARs, a MK12 couldn't be any better of a sight for sore eyes.
I never quite understood how people get any sort of preference or inkling about how a rifle looks. All I want to see is how precise it is and how much it weighs, then I'll decide what that "look" means to me. Does it perform or does it not?
@@calhollibecause it’s like getting new gym gear so you go to the gym more often. If you make it look good you are probably more likely to actually bring it out to show it off. At least that’s my opinion
@@cornfedchris58 I'm the opposite. Rather than looking for attention or validation, I avoid it. It's not something that is even a consideration for me.
@@calhollito each their own, look good feel good
@@calholli I’m sure you’re the same with woman..
Always love your Mk12 videos.
I looked at the 1-6x, 1-8x, and the 1-10x, these scopes have one thing in common no side focus for parallax adjustments, so I got the Vortex PST FFP/MOA 2-10x with side focus adjustments; old eyes. The 2x is low enough to be a red dot.
I have a mk12 mod 1 and that is by far my absolute favorite rifle
I've got a DD Mk.12 that I've had since they came out. I LOVE this rifle! I have three scopes on qd mounts that I use on it.
First is a 1.5×8 IOR Valdada. Second is 3.6×18 Leupold Mk.5 with a tremor 3. Third is an Arken Ep5 5×25. I've was able to shoot three 1/4 minute groups at 200 yards with 77gr factory ammo last week. Goes bang every time and can smack steel at a thousand yards (if the winds not to bad!) Couldn't ask for more!
Remember working with Steve Holland on this system back in the late 90s in 5th SFGA. Always a good system.
Those holes in the handguard work as a qd port
I have a very similar mod H. Everything is the same on mine even running the same trigger. Although, my lower is a Colt with a CTR stock. The optic is a super old school NF NSX 2.5-10 w/ the capped turrets. I also own the Vortex gen3 1-10 it's on my recce at the moment. Seeing it on your setup makes think about getting those low NF rings. Love the videos bro and will be subscribing! Keep rocking the clone vids and I'll be there 👍
12:50 .. Just a tip-- When your sling is on the end of your stock like that, it's much better to run it on the other side of your stock. So on the RIGHT side QD hole. SO then the strap is actually tucking your stock tightly to your chest when it's hanging, and then when you pull up your rifle, the butt of the stock has a clear path to your shoulder and not smashing your sling every time and getting in the way. It's better in every way.
Very nicely done. #makeyourcloneyourown Love seeing what you did to customize the Mk12 to make it your own. That is a good use of the Vortex 1-10x Razor.
i have a SPR MK12 Mod1 built by high caliber sales. My understanding is these guys are guys who really built the for the military. its my favorite AR i own next would be my two Scars 16 and 17. its an amazing rifle and can do everything even with the 18" barrel. i may have them build a 16" soon
I've got a High Caliber mod 1 also. Got mine as just the upper. Put it on a Knights SR15 ambi lower. It's definitely a favorite
Me too. Freaking love mine! It sits on a Colt lower because it's what I had at the time. Where I shoot there are a lot of guys who roll up with fancy ARs, but when I see someone with an mk12 I know that it is going to be someone that I will enjoy talking to.
I built the one from Lone Survivor. That gun is my favorite shooter. Soooooo smooth and sweet.
#metoo the mod1 is awesome. Just got to dust mine!
Two years and several days after ordering my AEM5 from Allen Engineering, I finally got my suppressor out from the jail. It took a very long time, I cannot wait to go to the range.
Mk12s rule perfect for anything from 100-600 yds
Man you ain't lying that Black Hills is freakin pricey... I'm a handloader and figured for the price they're charging I can work up a load using better powder for roughly the same price. Once I settled on a load that matched the velocity and accuracy I'm about 65 cents a round so I came in under what I thought. Really cool gun man and great video as always keepem coming!!!
I have matched Black Hills in the category of accuracy with 77s, but I just can't seem to get the velocity. Waiting to try some different powders once they are available again.
@@michaelgmitter1533 yeah man trying to reach the velocity without going way over pressure is tough to do with extruded powders but pretty easy to do with some of the ball powders. Vihtavuori N530, N540, N135, and N140 will get you there. They're expensive powders but without a doubt some of the best.
From my experience with the MK 12, 1.5 MOA is the average with M262 MOD 1 military ammo. About the same as the 7.62 M110 and M110A1 rifles.
There's not the expectation of bolt action accuracy, as volume of fire is the priority.
700 meter shots on an E type silhouette are expected, and 300 meter head shots on a 6 inch circle are regular.
I just love the handguard on it
Nothing beats a good old 77 grain 5.56
Literal GOAT of the caliber.
55gr makes me sad 😔
69gr works great too, I use that in my 13.7 for a lil extra velocity
Wind kicking around that 5.56 good shooting
Okay 👌 you win! @700yds even wind bucking 77grain ogive projectiles... Struggle with 5+mph winds to hold 1MOA with my benchrest 24"AR 🙈
YOU built my favorite new AR, cuz it's YOUR budget that brought it to Life 🤣
LPVO glass has gotten so good on the high end that I think it’s worth foregoing more magnification just to have the 1x. Offset dots SUCK on a heavier rifle
Definitely a do all gun. I use mine for everything from predators to deer. Since buying my 1st AR15 last year, my other firearms have been collecting dust lol.
I have actually have worked with Black hill on custom ammo, Love their ammo
🇺🇸
LaRue Triggers...awesome. Save yourself 30 bucks, and buy three at a time...
The sexiest handguard you can get for an AR IMO.
This video compared with your newer $500 AR video clearly shows optic is the most important factor for shooting at distance.
Hey bro, just noticed you passed 1M subs, congrats!
Mk12 is love. Mk12 is life.
This is actually what i plan on doing to my AR-15 . Seems fun at any range .
Steve Holland is an American Hero...
Nothing short of literally my 100th iteration handload can keep up with the black hills mk262 mod 1 that stuff is truly special
Yes yes yes. Keep the mk12 content coming
Nice. I built (the lower) my bastardized version of a mk12 mod 0 around a BCM 18” upper and its my favorite to take to the range. Consistent 1 MOA with IMI 77gr OTM and I’m not the best precision shooter so I’m sure it could probably shoot better.
700+ yds with ANY gun in ANY load of 556 is a tall order in that kind of wind. So Bravo and well done sir! 👏 👏 👏
I've always used a red dot, and recently got a Vortex 1-6 PST GenII and a 14.5 Geissele Super Duty rifle and started shooting out to 4-500yds and havin some pretty good success this rifle shoots very good and very smooth. Wanna (try to with my optic setup) stretch out to 5-600 just kinda gotta find a spot to set up some steel across a canyon or somethin where I can just leave them up lol don't wanna hump em around every time I go to shoot. But with an offset Delta Point Pro and a 1-6 I've been very happy from 5yds out to 500.
Seems like the razor and the Viber PST have 50 yd 0. So anything from 0 to 200 should be Cross hairs. Then the Next mill down should be 300 so on. But yes the mark 12 can hit 700 but that's really stretching her legs. 500 yd it shines. Good stuff look forward to the next videos
Sweet video- exactly what I was interested in.
Beautiful rifle, motivation to finally put mines together
Beautiful setup sir. Gorgous rifle, enjoy and use it often! I have the Razor 1-10 in MRAD, and so far, minus the picky eyebox have liked it a lot. I put mine on an XCR-M with an 18 inch barrel in 308.
Texas plinking is back😈🇺🇸
My favorite AR is the one I have in my hands at the time. My every day hiking gun is a 16 inch with a suppressor it is an excellent choice. The suppressor is Personal Protective Equipment PPE for the ears.The only thing better in an AR than a 16 inch 556 or 223 is a 16 inch 300bo. For both close and far work. I have a Blkout that gets the job done so far out as far as 2200yds. I have a 24 inch 223 that can keep up with 300bo for accuracy out to 1200yds but than after that the 16 inch BO takes over and never looks back. I like your short range work and willingness to go for it the wind.
Shoot safe and keep them on the steel
NDR
You are not using a 300 blackout at 2200 yards don’t be foolish😂😂😂
@@willbogan7832 Yes I am. And I am no fool. I regularly shoot my 300bo Pistol out past a mile.
NDR
Mk12 hell yea .. focus up big dawg ❤
Beautiful rifle sir!!! Great video.. thank you..
YESSSSSSSSS
Love your videos
Do more irl collab more with other youtuber 🙂
That's a bad ass rifle my friend! Love it!!
Damn that thing is beautiful
Beautiful MK12 setup !
Back up irons under a scope mounted in a non QD mount or rings kills me.
I'll save up for that. No complaints.
I have recently built a mk12 style rifle. Haven't gotten to break it in yet but I'm excited to take it out and shoot it.
I’ve had really good luck with Freedom Munitions 77gr otm. They sell in boxes of 50.
I wish mk12s weren't so expensive and difficult to find parts for
Nice, I had a PRI built Mod 0 upper but sold it to build a Mod 1 Clone.
Yeah, when I purchased my first PRI it was a MOD0, and I instantly regreted not purchasing a MOD1.
@@tomjjackson21 Mod 1 is the shit! The Knight’s rail is hard to find these days. Glad I found one a few years ago.
Appreciate the early plug
I think there’s one of these uppers in my near future.
Damn this seems like a good candidate for a LAW folder.
Yes,Mk-12 SPR
AR-15 but DMR version 👍👍
Where I live citizens are banned from having/using suppressors. So I came to ask if a suppressor lasts like forever. And if it should get cleaned or not and how often and how if it should.
Many thanks in advance
I think I like the mod H over the mod 0 mainly for the collapsing stock
You can have the MOD0 with a collapsing stock as well, and still be clone correct.
I have three AR-15 now, started with a Smith & Wesson M&P-15, then got the Daniel Defense MK12, and last Christmas got the FN Military Grade M-16A4….And the MK12 is my favorite. I call it my Aliens “pulse rifle” since I got a MFT “Bug Stomper” magazine for it. Just recently purchased a Dead Air Sierra 5 suppressor to put on it. Yeah, I’m spending a shit ton on my “Sexy Expensive Bitch” here! 🤣
That wind was crazy
Did you go with the 1 in 8 or 1 in 7 twist barrel? Trying to decide which I want to buy. Any thoughts?
Please make a video on the .416 Barrett rifle review and shooting.
Your merch absolutely needs "So there's that..." included.
That wind is pretty meaty
Given the distance limitations of 556, wouldn’t a SFP Dead Hold BDC reticle optic make more sense?
It is a nice carbine for sure. Always liked that SOPMOD-style stock that LMT had introduced..virtually the EXACT same stock right there..MINUS $120 my guess. LMT has had their $200 price tag on that sucker for a long time, NEVER could see paying THAT kind of money…LMT or not. The ‘Bravo’ is B5’s that lacks the storage capability. PRI makes/produces good quality stuff. That optic’s got some killer clarity I imagine..I DO like the reticle. Nice..! Edited to add: Haven’t ever heard the ‘Robin Hood’ concept applied to “Flyers” ha ha: “Stealing from the rich to give to the poor”, kind of works. Another thing is, I know some like that Larue ‘MBT’..not sure BUT heeeey..Good luck!
The SOPMOD stock was actually designed by Crane. LMT was just contracted to manufacture it en-masse.
That Rifle is nice, first class, thanks
I've got an 18 inch and a 12 inch host for my AEM5 but I've been seriously considering a 16 inch Mod H because why not.
If I could afford it I would get a mk12. Your shooting in windy conditions is great man. haha. I got a Saint victor. Can’t wait to shoot it, If you are ever in DFW you should check out a few ranges (outdoor) we got.
I want a Holland. Without the SWAN sleeve, that forend is begging for a PEQ
I wanted a M0D1 badly, purchased one and regreted not purchasing a M0D0. I purchase a MOD0, and instantly regret not purchasing a Holland. Purchased both in the 1/8 twist due to never shooting OTM and I regreted it. Seeing this, I regret not purchasing any of my MK12s in PRI's Tan; though tbh I don't think they were offering it it tan when I purchased my rifles. Anyways, idk what it is amount the Mk12, but I think my MOD 0 is my favorite rifle as well. I really like the mini RECCE aesthetic.
I really think this would look waaaaay cooler with the tall arms mount, and a chopped trc in front of the turret; the same configuration as the MOD1. Idk why, but I like the aesthetic of RECCES on tall rings. I think it would look absolutely nuts if you threw a m110 stock on. Since you're not going for the clone correct, it would look amazing.
My Douglas barrels sadly aren't very accurate. I'm just as good as anyone that's slung thousands of rounds, and I'm getting 1.5 moa, if I'm lucky. I love the setup, but I'm dissaponted with the accuracy, especially considering it's a $500 barrel.
Hey i need to know MOD H vs MOD 0 with the AEM5/OCM5 is there a noticeable difference in tone on the supressor between the 2" difference in barrel? Also is the 18" softer shooting because of the rifle length gas system?
you prefer this over the mk12 mo0? holy moly
what lens caps do you have on your Vortex Razor HD Gen III 1 - 10x24 optic?
nothing wrong with more mk12 mod h content
Ok I’m kind of new to the AR platform, but I have noticed several scopes mounted and the scope covers the rear flip up sight. What’s the point here? Am I to assume if the scope fails you would “remove” it then utilize the flip up sights? Some please explain. Thanks
No doubt about accuracy of this rifle.
headhots at 500 yards? My goal is to do that at 100 yards@!
Just bought one of these bad boys today
generally speaking im more of an AK guy, but the MK12 mod 0 is probably my favorite AR variant. probably the best looking of the military AR rifles imo.
I'm new to your channel, but I would like to see some 300 win mag at distance.
I will look through, just in case I missed it.
Any thoughts on the Bergara B-14 HMR?
I have been especially curious about this rifle because it seems too good to be true regarding dollars to function.
Nice shooting and it looks really nice as well.
Beautiful rifle
Whick do you prefer the mod 0 or the mod H and why? I can't make up my mind on which to get!
770 in that wind is great for a 16!
Which twist rate did you go with from PRI? I've been looking into their Mk12 Mod 0's for a while now but dont care if clone correct.
He said it was 1/7
Part of me has doubts about the effectiveness of 556 at 700 yards
77gr out of a 16” barrel is still very deadly at that range.
The issue 5.56 has at that distance is that the BC is not great on most rounds available. So making hits is iffy.
500 yards is really max combat range for 5.56 out of any length. Beyond that just roll a machine gun up and let them lob rounds in
that last part making me miss my saw lol
My PRI mk12 mod0 gen three arrived today
How did you like it? I’m about to order one myself
Love it best investment ever
@@StephenSmith-uj7tk Thanks did you go 1-8 barrel twist or 1-7
18in 1 - 7 it loves imi 77gr
Thats a nice gun Mr.
Thanks... this is really the rifle I've been looking for. Is 5R rifling worth it? Or not really?
From everything I've heard, it has marginal accuracy benefits (read that as almost negligible from I've found), but what it seems to do REALLY well is reduce wear on the barrel. Whether that increase in barrel life is worth it to you is a judgement call though
I'm super turn on the Allan Engineering suppressors. I hear mixed reviews about how they're awesome looking and super quiet, but they're very gassy.
NIGHTFORCE rings are low 0.885?
So do they sell it complete? Because I was looking at the psa mk12 but I feel like this may be precise, I went on the site and only see the upper
What is the centerline height of that optic with those rings on the swan sleeve? 1.54 or something like 1.4?
I like mk12s but I also love my m16a4 clone build
Like the gear and the scope is very interesting
What type of rings do you have? Couldn't quite catch that. Love the content! Been a subscriber for a minute!
