Hey guys my name is Will Ormes, I’m a PRS/NRLH competitor and RU-vid reviewer of all things gear related. I run this channel on my own and I truly appreciate all the support and friends I’ve made in this industry. If you ever see me at a match feel free to come say hi or squad with me! Thank for watching!
I have the S5 525 and S3 636, have a few buddies with ZCO 527 and 840 as well as Kahles k328. In all fairness, I cannot see any difference in image quality between a S5, ZCo and the Kahles, but the image size in the S5 is smaller than the two which is a bit annoying. I can see a small difference to the S3 but in all honesty I dont know if its enough difference to make a difference, but the price difference is crazy. And the S3 only T8 torx for elevation, zerostop and windage. The S5 has a T8 elevation and T6 windage which is retarded, the T6 is also way too easy to round if you are at all hasty
Great review and comparison. I just started my bolt action journey and bought this Zeiss for $2000 "like new" from EuroOptic. Should get it tomorrow. I also feel like I got the best "bang for the buck" in this price range that gives me an option for production. Plus, I'm an old dude (54) with aging eyes so hopefully that reticle works well for me. 😂
Always enjoy your scope reviews, C5. Do you still intend to do a report on the ZCO 840 that you mentioned at The Hide? No one has ever done one that I know of so would be cool if you are the 1st. The ZCO 840 vs TT 7-35 would be really awesome! 👍
@@Sagittariustoo editing a ZCO 840 vs March 5-42 video now. I don’t have a TT 7-35 unfortunately and don’t have the resources at the moment to spend $5k on one myself. I’ll see if there’s something I can do tho to try to make that happen.
@@linkchen8245 man I know I felt bad with how long it came out. Next video might have to be a Part 1 and 2 instead. I really appreciate you making it through tho! yes there’s the XTR 3 and XTR Pro. In my experience I would not put it as high as as these 2 on the list of $2,500 and under scopes.
Great review man. I'm in the process of messing around with the LRP S3 in 4-25 vs. the Burris XTR Pro to see whether or not I want to upgrade my Pro and another older scope. I've already mostly done my initial comparison, but watching your video gave me some more ideas on how to put them up against each other.
subscribed simply because of the Phil comment. haha. too funny. I have the up-ranger, and it's a love hate relationship. I love the dividers, I hate the side wing's. They are floppy and if you take them off, there are only two rows of webbing, so even adding a new external bag means the top of it will flop around. So frustrating. I understand your dilemma and am leaning toward the G3 as well. Great review.
You sir have the best scope reviews! Everything I need to know and very insightful to competitors. On a side note, I do see a lot of peoole in rimfire using MK5's and now I really wonder why.
Mine does yea. Took 10th place at a 2 day last month with it. The 7-35’s had early tracking issues but haven’t heard anything with regards to the 5-25.
@@Covertnoob5 Good to hear. I have heard really bad horror stories. My wife and I run the Production class. She runs the ESR PMR Pro and I run the Matrix Pro. We both run the Bushnell XRS3 with the EQL reticle.
Now I don’t use either one. Better options out there as well as upgraded versions of both of these. I wouldn’t use these in today’s market. I’ll have an updated chassis video coming.
It'd be nice to see a comparison of the AT-X AICS chassis compared to these other high end chassis. The price is pretty competitive on them and they look nice and slim lined and super cool.
Jeez after 50 shots you never realized your mag latch was not adjusted correctly on any of these chassis and that you had to touch the mag each time to avoid cycling for nothing… this was painful to watch.
@@valeriehoule2249 why would I adjust the mag latch? Some of these chassis aren’t the easiest or fastest to adjust in that regard. That wasn’t the point of the video. And the point was accomplished regardless. Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to watch the rest of my videos!
Tight-tight-tight, Bruh... What to know why we couldn't get Geoballistics to work with the flat base bullets? Because the app had defaulted to MOA when my scope is MRAD, SMH!😂 tight-tight-tight .........
Been waiting for this review Just started my prs journey this year.....took third at the prs22 regional...so hooked... Shooting centerfire prs as well..
At least the G1 JAE709 had an adjustable mag collet what, 10 years ago? I’m really struggling to see how this chassis isn’t just charging more for less features than the competition. My launch JAE700 was only $1080usd too 😮
Great video. This thing definitely seems cool and I wish them the best. The chassis/stock market for PRS is so saturated right now it's crazy and I'm not sure I see anything that's truly an improvement. I wish them the best and look forward to seeing them at matches!
It's a cool looking chassis. I do wish that the integral ARCA rail had R-Lock holes in it since I've grown very fond of that system. I think the ACC Elite has R-Lock slots built into its integral rail. Side note, any experience with the Manners LRH stock? I'd kind of like to get one for an NRL Hunter (and just a hunting) build.
There are tons of muzzle brakes on the market. The brake makes the gun louder. What are you getting at? It sounds like you're comparing a muzzle brake to a suppressor.
@@gilbertopadilla3611 Correct, and if you research past determinations from BATFE, brake designs that are similar to the CHAD have been dealt the heavy hand. Just because it is louder doesn't negate design criticism. For example, take a look at what they determined 3-4 weeks ago on a similar design muzzle brake. It also doesn't take a genius to look at the design of the CHAD and see the baffle design of the brake. In any case, I'm not a brake guy anyway... So suppressed shooting 99.999% for me unless I compete in a Commie state.
Look, at the end of the day, BATFE making such determinations is wrong and against all 2A values. Having built a few suppressors legally, I wouldn't risk dog shooters showing up to my door unnecessarily.
The error is the actual website describes the design, which is idiotic to me (note last sentence): The biggest difference being the CHAD isn’t a shell with inserts like the tmb. It’s six individually machined pieces laser welded into a single assembly, (like tubeless silencers).
Cool video. A couple of things. It is great to have the scope cam on this - but it would have been ideal to swap out the brake to something different halfway through so as to have a direct comparison to something else. Secondly, there seems to be almost a small vibration at the end of the muzzle on some shots - almost like the CHAD is pushing and flexing the barrel downward and then it continues to vibrate very slightly. Lastly, in a similar vein, to me the reticle always moved upwards, yet on many occasions you can clearly see the barrel being pushed down. Any concerns regarding this potential flex?
I will be comparing to the area419 hellfire and APA G3 FB in the full review video. At what point are you seeing this flex? And at what point do you see be barrel being clearly pushed down? I guess timestamps would help address these concerns further.
@@Covertnoob5 Just looked at the video full screen and with .25 speed. I can't see the vibration - what I think I was seeing on the ipad was the rifle re-settleing which made it almost look like a vibration. Cool to watch in slow mo. Definitely keeps the rifle flat - you can see the barrel dip downwards (especially modified prone) as opposed to rising on many shots. After the rifle dips - very slightly - it rises then re settles. Looking forward to seeing it side by side on other brakes.
It's always a pleasure to see people shooting with the MPA Matrix Pro-II. I ordered one of these some time ago. Can you make a video of how satisfied you are with it so far? I've already seen your first video of it. Maybe a comparison with the other chassis you use.
You’ll have to forgive me, but I hunt and shoot steal for fun at 500 and 1000 yards. I also reload my own ammunition. I typically use one of 4 cartilages. A 270 Win, 300 H&H, 338 Win Mag and a 375 H&H. I have never used a brake, and I pretty much hit everything I aim at. Why do you guys use brakes with pee-wee cartridges, using 20 pound rifles? Maybe you guys should be shooting pcp air rifles.
In a match we shoot 100-120 rounds a day. You’re not doing that with a 300 H&H without developing a flinch and beating yourself up for no reason. Off props I guarantee there’s 0 chance you’re seeing your trace and bullet impact at 4,5,600 yards with a 375 H&H to make corrections. We all mostly reload our ammo. There’s a big difference between shooting steel at the range with all day, no time limit, no props, no difficulty except when you’re ready to pull the trigger and what we do.
Thanks for the content! Just starting to go down the rabbit hole of precision rifle. Ordered my first precision rifle from MPA, the Matrix Pro PMR in 6.5 CM, based on the recommendations of a few competitors and am currently deciding on glass. Deciding between ZCO 5-27, ATACR 7-35, or Razor Gen 3 6-36.
2k dollars is nothing. In Finland its 2.7k euros And the elite here is about 2-2.2k. I have the elite and really enjoying it, I find that a bag rider for the elite is moot. The bottom is flat and long enough for me at least
