howdy guys and gals I'm the social regressive and I'm out here on the range
to revisit the egg challenge and I have a couple things going for me today first
off I'm shooting a savage stealth evolution this is the brand new model it
just came out like a month ago or so you can see that it is a thing of beauty
just the way that this metal chassis looks with all of its kind of rakish
angles it really is just gorgeous it has all kinds of really neat parts that you
can configure to fit yourself your own individual body great trigger has usual
Accutrigger two pounds a nice smooth action and we have this Horus or this
is a Bushnell HDMR-II scope with a Horus reticle this is an H59 reticle in
here wonderful reticle the total set up this
is a lot like what I do with the GRS last time if you want to see that egg
challenge you can go back and check that out I was able to hit four out of six
eggs at 300 yards and that was just single shots at those I wasn't able to
do any retakes that was that was a lot of fun I am running suppressed today I
have a yhm titanium since silencer out here the ammunition that I'll be
shooting is an American Eagle 140 grain open tip match this stuff has run really
well in the GRS and in this rifle so I'm expecting good things today
it has a yeah 140 grain bullet these things are really long and they they
just seem to work really well they're very accurate good stuff now I did make
a mistake today I did not actually bring the eggs I totally forgot I brought the
targets I brought all kinds of stuff and I did however bring these which are
supposedly according to the box as fragile as eggs so what I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna put these out not at 300 yards I'm gonna put these at 650 yards and I'm
gonna try to tag these now also kind of working against me today it is quite
cold it's it's definitely well below freezing so I'm going to be shooting
with some thick gloves perhaps I might take it off just to the shooting
- there's a little bit of wind today it started out a little rough but actually
it's not too shabby right now so yeah overall it's gonna be it's gonna be a
real challenge but I think I can do this I have five shots to make this happen
I'm gonna go ahead and load my magazine up they'll because I'm gonna take some
sighter shots to have a couple of steel plates out there covered in white paint
and hopefully even at this distance I'll be able to see my hits see how close I'm
getting once I feel good about it I'll go ahead and start shooting for record
okay elevation is good well there's a lot more wind out there than it looks
okay I gave it a full milliradian of wind
that's looking pretty good let's come up now point two okay that's the sort of
shot I'm gonna need here's the tough part wind indicators are very very low
today I have flags over here to my side you're not telling me much I've got a
ribbon and a pink ribbon way out there and really the grass isn't moving
because it's all brown and dead and there's really just no Mirage there's
just not any sunlight out today so you don't get that temperature differential
here we go here goes shut number one
okay shot number one looks like it came in slightly low oh what that jumped way
up there all right I got one oh that was just slightly left the wind must have
died down on me I didn't make it oh we got one out of the five it's a
pretty tough shot but I do have some more ammo so let's just go back and see
if we pick up a couple more of these things except for that one shot all
right really high these have all been really close close misses it's really
just a matter of windage but that's the big problem you really just can't see
wind today
next time I'll have to bring out some little flags or something so I can see
what's going on oh yeah and red castle guys I will clean up everything I know
I'm not supposed to be shooting these out here but I'll pick up all the pieces
I promise I have a little baggie out there oh the
wind had died down a little bit I can see a little bit of Mirage out there
just a tiny bit but it's very difficult to read
it's uh-oh I think I hit it I can't be sure something kind of made some dust I
think I might have hit it move on to the next one just in case I'm not sure with
that one way
let's go send a search party a bit of ground is just absorbing them can't see
what's going on there we go I sure hope all these guys are picking this up
because this is really fun
oh I thought I was seeing the same amount of wind
I just realized where the Mirage is coming from - and it's not from the
ground it's from I throw my barrel I feel kind of silly so I'm trying to use
that to read wind let me see how I can find something else you okay the wind
has died out there oh that was right behind it nope we kicked up just a
little bit oh no I do have one left I once not like come on let's do it just
a little too much wind
alright here we go there's target number one it looks like
I did indeed hit that on my second string the second time I took a shot at
that and that's that's good to know
and this one is totally clean sad one of these survived here you go
I did clean up well thanks for watching me sling some led that was a lot of fun
even if I didn't you know really meet the challenge that first time out it is
quite difficult to hit something that's roughly the size of your palm at at 650
yards now you can see that I did get one on that first try I'll go back and
review the footage maybe I nicked another one but I'm pretty sure that I
just hit the one but yeah a lot of fun even though I didn't really nail these
things down until went back and took those extra shots the extra moments were
fun though it's nice to see these things blow up and those use those champion
Duraseal target holders that I demonstrated in a previous video make
sure you go check that thing out so yeah a lot of fun today good shooting and
just you know talking about the rifle I'm gonna do a full review on this thing
later but I'm just gonna go ahead and hit some of the high points now first
off the thing is like a laser I'm shooting you know factory ammunition
that you know American Eagle it you know it tends to be kind of on the cheaper
side I've always had really good luck with American Eagle this stuff is great
but yeah the 6.5 Creemoor and this stuff it shoots very precisely I'm gonna have
to shoot some some actual paper groups to show you what those things look like
I don't know I just get so bored with paper I want to go shoot stuff like clay
pigeons and steel and stuff like that but yeah ergonomics are wonderful the
balance of the thing is actually something that I was really surprised by
if you want to you know carry this rifle around there's just that neat little
hand hold right here and yeah this sucker is balanced
you have the wonderful Magpul PRS gen3 and the stock back here I do have this
thing suggested fortunately how this thing can raise them a good bit so that
it kind of fits me a lot better or it's in a half inch length of pool for me
right now cheek riser all the way up and HDMR-II
that I discussed before this scope is just fabulous I love this thing and
hopefully I'll be able to check out the XRS two coming out it's a new scope but
they're going to be coming out with one that has a Tremor3 reticle very
similar to this and I hope to be doing a full review on that pretty soon as well
but yeah everything with very well today had a great time with some good friends
and I love red castle do you see the berm behind those deer yeah that's where
my gun is back on the 600 yard line I love that they have all these moving
target I mean it's cool to see wildlife thanks for watching if you like this
