Henry target's close. Go to the 200 yard berm with the triangle. I see the triangle. From the triangle go left to the 10 o'clock position one berm over. All right I'm at the 10 o'clock. I see a target. It looks like it has sort of a cluster of like two or three hits in the middle in the belly. That's your target. Check parallax. Parallax is set. Range 225. Range set. Favor right. Impact re-engage. Impact. Nice. Got him. All right Henry target is on the far side of the creek. If you go to the observation tower on the left edge of the lane by the evergreen tree. I see it. Come right and follow the edge of the hill down to the bottom of the gully and move right towards the reeds. I see a target peeking right at the crest of the reeds the hill with the reeds. White cluster right underneath the dark shadow spot. That's your target. Check parallax. Parallax set. Range 800. Range set. Right 1.8. Right 1.8. Impact. Nice. Good stuff. Okay Henry target is on our side of the creek bed. Go to the far flagpole. All right. Go to the berm to the left of the flagpole. The diamond. All right roger. I have the diamond. Go directly behind the diamond out by the creek. I have a kitty cat. Cat is the target. Check parallax. Parallax is set. Range 570. Range set. Right 1.3. Impact again. Re-engage. Nice dead center shot. Nice. On glass sir. All right Henry target is on our side of the creek bed. Go to the far left berm. Far left berm. All right. I see a target with a black head on the far left berm. Blackhead is your target. Check parallax. Parallax set. Range 350. Range set. Right 0.5. Impact. Right 0.25. Impact. Re-engage. Impact. Nice. Okay the fix by Q. I see the little New Hampshire symbol right there. This is your people who made this. It is. I mean pretty close at least. All right so this is Josh's rifle. Specifically Yankee buying Yankee rifle. True. All right so it's not for everybody. No this is a very unique rifle set up for a very unique use case. It's very narrow. I actually think it's quite narrow. So we tried to set this up in a way that gained maximum flexibility in what is in fact a pack gun. So you're trying to maximize your ballistic capability in a really small foldable lightweight package that has a short barrel so that you can be running a can on it and you're still shorter than standard sort of quote unquote short barrel precision or bolt guns. So it's a really unique case because you're giving up a ton of ballistic performance when you shrink down the barrel. Right. Just a ton of performance. I mean this is the length of like my BRN 180 right. I mean it's quite short. Well suppressed. The BRN goes out here and the can comes here. So it's really the size of like an MP5 with a little like small suppressor on the end. And quite frankly the weight is not far from like a little like carbine like a Mark 18 type of rifle. Really slicked out. Yeah. You chose the Nightforce 2x20. Honestly excellent choice. Excellent choice on the Nightforce. Really on the range performance it did really really well. I think the one thing just like keep an eye out if you use this optic is that the bell is pretty severe on the top. Yeah that front bell. But as a bolt action rifle it's nothing that you would really be concerned because you're not really mounting a red dot sight right there. But I suppose it's some mounts. For the bridge. Yeah if they have a bridge that this can contact it and be difficult depending upon you know which mount. Now on the shooting experience though again it's not for everybody. This is not a gun that you want to take out to the range and shoot a bunch out of. Yeah it's just not comfortable to shoot. It's comfortable to pack it's not comfortable to shoot. Right. When you pack and you get into the position if you need to take a couple like one two maybe three shots no big deal. But if you're here on range all day shooting from awkward positions. For one like the the cheek piece right here kept on pinching me whenever I recoiled because it recoils more than a normal 6.5. It kept on pinching my cheek right here. Another thing that I that I saw I think a lot of people talk about this. Yeah. The bolt. A lot of complaints about the bolt. The bolt throw and there's there's people who complain about even Accuracy International bolt throw is a 60 degree bolt throw. Some people say it's it's too much resistance on on the bolt. Because this is a 45. 45 is even more resistant. So I guess one way I would I try to say stay conscious on this to put my thumb on the back and use my thumb to counteract it to kind of take take away some of that tension in order to throw the bolt. I didn't always remember that. Like sometimes I just muscled it open. But that made of course like if your bolt throw is difficult it would make your follow-on shot more difficult. Because once you complete your bolt throw you've disturbed it enough to where you're off target. So the more difficult shots with this thing would be the ones that you had less support on the rear. Let's say your standing shots or if you were like kneeling and trying to drop shots with no rear support. The bolt throw would make it a little bit more difficult to track your hits if you were self splashing. But ballistic wise it corresponds actually funny enough corresponds with a 308 ballistics because it's a shorter barrel. Like the 308 ballistics out of like most of your 20 inch 308s. Yep. We're noticing that with the 6.5 when you go down to the 16 inch barrel version you're feeling or you're you're seeing your ballistics actually match up against those tables like really well. But yeah again this is I think that this is like a a firearm which is a bunch of compromises right that take away from shootability and ballistic capability but give you the packability the carryability and the ability to sort of like pop down and be able to hit something out to a thousand. Yeah. I don't know that I would want to push this personally too much beyond a thousand even though it's in 6.5 and 6.5 can go further and on the shorter barrel again of course you can do it I'm sure people could do it very effectively but on this like I think with the entire setup the performance pocket is really like zero to a thousand in my mind how we have it configured for you know a couple shots and then that's it you're done. And so so that's really what we were trying to do with with this setup. I mean I think it's important at the very least to bring in new ideas and not just get behind the same thing over and over and over again because that's how you really push the envelope which Q is known for pushing the envelope on all well the sheer reason that we even have this in inventory Henry is because you and I both have a bunch of precision or sniper rifles that are all big beefy full-on setups and there was a void where we really don't have a good representation of like an ultra light rifle I know that there's a bunch of other ones out there on the market it's like not just like this one like what's the other one the Sig cross comes to mind I think yep but yeah that is at least the rationale as to what we wanted to test out with with this platform and obviously it shoots yeah it definitely shoots I mean I can't say that I love it but it works yep again it's not for everybody but it's interesting guys until next time see you on the range hey we aren't snipers no way it's true but one of the things we have heard from you the viewer you want to see more and better a higher quality of shooter spotter communication and so we've started this new series countdown to try to do just that we're leaving the friendly good old jovial time of practical accuracy behind well just for a minute and we are trying to take information that we have learned from our friends and colleagues and are in the process of learning from our friends and colleagues who are actual professionals in this field I mean I think we're still gonna have a damn good time uh maybe not like practical accuracy but a part of that learning process we've got to reach out to you guys out there especially guys who are sniper qualified who have had a significant amount of time in this field whether you're a SWAT sniper a military sniper or anything in between leave us a comment below send us an email if we made any mistakes or if there's any way we can improve upon the process because at the end of the day it's a learning journey it's a journey of us improving and I want to document this journey for guys out there to also learn with us and with your help hopefully we can make a better product for you guys to consume and learn from and use as a reference material out there
