The Ballistic Advantage Hanson performance series barrel 16" 5.56 nato is by far my favorite AR 15 barrel. It comes standard with a pinned gas block that helps keep the block in place under heavy fire and stress. All Hanson barrels come standard with pinned gas blocks. 16" 4150 CMV barrel with a 1/7 twist. 5.56 nato chamber QPQ nitride inside and out NIB coated barrel extension m4 feed ramps MP and MP tested to ensure its safe lightweight design

Is the Mossberg Patriot any good? I explore this topic with my own Mossberg Patriot Predator chambered in .243 Winchester. I discuss my current configuration and the overall performance you should expect with this rifle. The Mossberg Patriot Predator features a 22" Burt Bronze Cerekote barrel and receiver. It has a threaded barrel, oversized bolt knob and it's seated in a Strata camo'ed polymer stock. --Chapter selection--- Start: 00:00 Rifle setup/configuration 01:31 Scope Athlon Talos BTR 02:35 Long range scope tip 03:30 Muzzle break recoil control 04:32 Stock/forend flexing on bipod 05:20 Improve accuracy with a rest 06:05 Specs overview 7:37 About that bolt 08:31 Picatinny rail 10:40 Love that trigger 11:22 Performance and accuracy report 12:13 Best accuracy/w load development 14:18 3 shot group test 15:35 Out to 600 16:39 Final thoughts: 17:20 SPECIFICATIONS Caliber .243 WIN Capacity 5+1 Barrel Type Fluted, Threaded 5/8"-24 TPI Barrel Length 22" Sight/Base Picatinny Rail Twist 1:10 LOP Type Fixed LOP 13.75" Barrel Finish Cerakote - Patriot Brown Stock Finish Synthetic (Strata Camo) Weight 6.5 Length 42.25"

Note: This video was optimized for YouTube however I believe that the future of gun content is on Rumble. I picked up an Athlon Helos BTR Gen 2 2-12x42ffp moa for my OD green SPR build. This is the second generation of the Athlon Helos BTR and a complete redesign intended for DMR applications. My goal was to find an affordable optic that had both close range and intermediate range capability. In this video I discuss it's overall build quality, range performance and my final overall thoughts.

Best competitor: Primary Arms GLX 2-10 ffp ACSS Best value alternative: Athlon Argos BTR gen 2 Recommended upgraded choice: Athlon Helos BTR gen 2 4-20ffp *All firearm footage was shot at controlled private ranges with established safety protocol.

I purchased this optic for my home defender rifle project. Unfortunately I did not do my homework prior to purchase and felt that the optic left me wanting more. I feel that there are better options around this price point. My detractors: Automatic mode does not give you a usable reticle in low light or inside and is probably best suited for outdoor use. Manual mode does not have shake awake technology and unfortunately is limited to 30,000 hrs. There are options available at or below this price that can give up to 100,000 hrs (403r) or more and failsafe. Holosun offers more rugged designs that may be better suited for real world applications such as home defense or patrol rifles. Examples are 503cu and 515. Alternative options: Holosun 403r Primary Arms slx red dot Vortex Crossfire ii red dot upgraded options: Holosun 503cu Holosun 503 green dot elite Holosun 515 series Vortex Sparc Solar

This is my review of the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24 gen 2. Information discussed is of my opinion and experience with the optic and reflects my feelings about the optic. I purchased this scope for my Punisher DMR build. My goal was to find an affordable optic that had both close range and intermediate range capability. In this video I discuss it's overall build quality, range performance and my final overall thoughts. Timeline: What's in the box: 1:32 Features and specs: 2:24 Build quality comparison: 6:42 Glass performance : 8:52 Reticle overview: 11:25 Long range performance overview: 14:51 Recommended 223 load for extended ranges: 18:55 Overall value and who I recommend this for: 19:42 Overall I'll give 4 out of 5 stars. The scope build quality and optical performance was on par with the Crossfire ii line of optics so I was somewhat disappointed. However, it did function 100%, maintained zero and was able to make accurate hits out to 600 yards. So it may not be for everyone but it a good scope and should do the trick for most sportsmen. Plinkers, hunters and home defense applications are suitable for this optic. For professional applications I would recommend the Viper PST or Razer line of optics. Best competitor: Primary Arms 1-6 ACSS Best value alternative: Athlon Talos BTR 1-4 Recommended upgraded choice: Vortex Viper PST gen 2 1-6
