Real-world kinematics beats rote recommendations every time! Three and a half minutes of pure, functional, demonstrable logic. Good to see you posting again, my friend. Hope you've been well!
Super god pointe! Som nyjæger er jeg pt. meget optaget af, hvordan jeg bliver en bedre skytte. De sidste par uger har jeg netop været optaget af placeringen af ens trigger finger. Men de fleste nævner kun ens finger pad, som om one-size fits all. Så denne video kommer på det perfekte tidspunkt for mig. Tak for en fed kanal, som jeg skal udforske meget mere!
No matter what the tool is, be it a file, a firearm or something else entirely, it's important to experiement and find whats most comfortable, efficient and mostly importantly, works for you.
regarding the stock, there is an option available from Sweden as well- the Phoenix Chassis by LRD Sweden. I think it’s about the same price as the vision, for anyone interested. 😊
@@RedKettleEfficientHuntingfor sure the vision is a quality chassis. My comment was mostly “fyi” to anyone searching youtube for informative videos on fitting the STR 200 for PRS - there isn’t all that much material out there, which is a shame because at least here in scandinavia it is very hard to beat if you are looking to get the most “bang for your buck” 😃 Good video btw 😊👍
"best" all-around ... and then it's got to meet budget constraints. I've got a 2.5-10x42. A little narrower on the zoom range and probs not nearly good glass as from Swarovski, but it's certainly better quality than the price would indicate and was for me affordable.
Exceptional analysis. Very good way of evaluating cartridges. If one is constrained to factory ammo choices and availability, then the 280 might not be the best choice. If you're a smaller framed hunter, then the 7mm-08 is a wonderful choice particularly if you're hunting woodland areas and CXP2. For CXP3, I'm more inclined to go with at least the 30-06. That said, in general, I completely agree with the recommendations. I like that you brought up velocity vs. diameter and that higher sectional density with larger diameter is more useful for upper-end CXP2 and CXP3 game, while velocity plays a larger role for mid-sized CXP2 and smaller. 7mm-08 and 280 are wonderful cartridges. In my experience, for the same energy levels, I shoot heavier bullets with larger caliber better than the small fast cartridges. In my opinion, optimal selections are monolithic bullets (e.g., Barnes tsx) in: Woods CXP2: 30-30, 350 legend, 7mm-08, 308 (Top picks: 30-30 lever action or 7mm-08 bolt action) Open country CXP2: 25-06, 270win, 6.8 western, 280AI (Top pick: 270win bolt action) Woods CXP3: 45-70, 30-06, 338 federal, 358 win, 35 whelen, 9.3x62 (Top picks: 45-70 lever action or 30-06 bolt action) Open country CXP3: 30-06, 6.8 western, 280AI, 7mm rem mag, 7prc, 300wm, 300wsm, 338wm (Top pick: 7prc bolt action) If you only have one rifle, then 30-06, 3x9 scope will handle 99% of big game hunting. Winchester M70 and CZ 550 fan here. Thanks for the great video.
The 6.5 creedmoor, like all caliper, has its pros and cons. Not so much as the caliber used, but shot placement, bullet selection, and calibers limits.

Good question Johannes. I’m pretty sure I called that out in the first episode. I wanted to limit the cartridges to one and the same capacity groups per calibre. The 6.5 x 55 isn’t that different from the 6.5 CM or the 260 Rem. Not for hunting anyway. And not to warrant including all of them in a single test. I suppose it would be interesting to do a 6.5 comparison to prove that.
All fantastic advice for double lung shots. I have always shot 2.5 - 5CM below every one of these scenarios and have taken out the top of the heart so they bleed out very quickly. None of my harvests travelled more than 7 meters most less than 3 and some dropped right where hit. Thank you for a very informative video.
You aren't OCD enough if you can call it OCD. It should obviously be CDO since that is alphabetical order. 😇 Sorry. Nice details. I sat on one deer for 30 minutes, finally decided I was ready to pull the trigger, harvested a forky buck that I would have sworn was a doe. 😞
Glad to see you back with a new video! I'll spare regaling you the full story of my just-past deer season (way too warm, very little need for deer to move). The bottom line, the ONE opportunity I had to harvest a doe was done in by my own second-guessing. I added a new 6.5CM rifle to my lineup five months prior to the season. Lots of time at the range (100hrs+) getting it dialed in, getting used to how it behaves, the works. Nothing even questionable about the hardware. No problems with < 1 MOA groups at 200yds. Utterly consistent. Beautifully flat-shooting. Outstanding low recoil. Two does wander into the field I'm watching. A tick over 300yds. The wind picked up. Consulted the BC app to get the right amount of windage ... and promptly second guessed EVERYTHING and rushed my way through setup. Not only did I second guess it all, but I managed to dial in windage in *the wrong direction*. Literally watched the impact into fresh, fluffy snow on a shrub, cleanly missing the only shooting opportunity all season. So.. yep, I'm wholly onboard with a checklist and process!
Thank you Christian, this is verry informative, also extremly thanks for your free PDF, I have seen other youtubers asking money or some kind of payment for such info, agin, big THX
I never owned a 7mm rifle before because I have always been a 30 cal. man, but as soon as I saw the stats and the underlying reasons for its development, I like everyone else, couldn’t wait to get my hands on a rifle built for it! And much to my satisfaction, I was right!!! Your review is spot on, validating my own impressions of this awesome cartridge!!! Thanks so much for putting into layman’s terms what is proving to be a really great cartridge for not only hunters, but also long range shooters! Keep putting out these great videos!!
Amigo, debes tener razón, hago mis propios puntos, lo que hice lo más cerca que pude, pero tengo muchos cañones y rifles de calibre 30. Pero no es menos cierto que quieres una victoria de 270. Así que es cierto que el 270 es un cartucho muy barato y disponible que llega a ser el mejor si... Confía en mi palabra, compra un 270, encontrarás mejor balística y algo más barato que disparar TSX 130 en tu 308
Great video. As I've always been told, knowing what your cartridge is capable of and working within those capabilities is the most important thing to hunting. My great-grandfather took a citation elk with a .257 Roberts. He knew what ranges his rifle would be effective at and hunted within those parameters and came home with a beauty of an elk. Im a big fan of the 7x57 mauser cartridge, but im not going to try and take an elk at 400+ yards with it, because it's not going to perform well at that range on that big of an animal.
one guy with a trophy buck in the paper one year shot at a buck on a full run away from him with a bow n arrow, he got lucky hit the femoral artery causing massive fast blood loss n promptly found his trophy, all the guys commented rightfully that was a dumb shot because that deer could have been gut shot wasting meat n never found, guy was like don't matter i put him down smh
