I feel like at those rifle prices the differences between a gas gun and bolt gun are much smaller. Those are both great guns that I expected to do well. To get that kind of accuracy out of a gas gun it takes much more money to be put into it. There are plenty of bolt guns around the $700-1,200 mark that can shoot 1moa or better today not many gas guns in that price range can claim that from factory. I would live to see you try this again with setups that come in under $3,000. The Barret MRAD setup alone was well over $9,000 in this video which is both impractical and unattainable to the average shooter. Other than that I loved the video you are an excellent shooter and I wish I had that kind of land to shoot on.

Living the dream! I just think it goes to show that wind calls and understanding your rig's reticle are probably more important than gas vs bolt. (All other things equal such as fundamentals and having good loads).
@MountainsMulletsMerica
@MountainsMulletsMerica Год назад
Oh you are spot on! If you understand your gear and practice you will be very effective with which ever platform you are running. At the end of the day, training and practice is what makes the difference!

I have both types of firearms, the bolt, and the semi, but I lean toward the bolt gun more. I love the extra work that goes into working the bolt action. The 10-22 rimfire rifle sits collecting dust but the Ruger Rimfire American gets a workout with an $800 scope sitting on top, it cost $370.

I have both for long range rifles My bolt rifles are Ruger Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor with a Vortex scope at 2.5-10×44 and a Tikka T3x Lite in .270 Win with a Leupold 3.6-18x44 scope. My autoloader is a Desert Tech MDRXCOM in .308 Win with a Vortex 1-10x24 scope. They are all 3 enjoyable to shoot. And I don't have a favorite. Just like my medium and short range guns. If I got ammo and a place to shoot. Life is good!

I will have to agree with most of the commenters the semiauto is perfect with the right setup. Especially if on the rare occasion when hunting your first shot is not perfect you can get a second shot off to put the animal down so it does not suffer. I love bolt guns but I like the idea of quick follow up shots if needed.
@MountainsMulletsMerica
@MountainsMulletsMerica Год назад
Yep I totally agree with you. Aside from rifles in magnum calibers I prefer shooting semi auto over bolt action in basically every occasion. Super handy to be able to send that follow up shot without breaking your position.

@macgyver5108
@macgyver5108 Год назад
The mullet is strong with this one... And you've got some skills too. Autos are a completely different ball of wax for most people to shoot well like you mentioned vs a bolt action. Only _ONE_ recoil impulse to sort out and get used to vs two which trips a lot of people up so there's that aspect. Part of the "bolt is better" lore for LR work also is simply old parrots repeating the old ways. Like with most thing shooting related such as the .308 vs the "new" 6.5, old habits die hard. The other half is how hard it can be to "tune" an AR if it's misbehaving or built by someone that's not exactly a great AR gunsmith, aware of the accuracy "quirks" inherent to building an accurate AR. As well as how much AR quality control and manufacturing has improved in the last decade, especially if you pony up for a top tier AR. There's a host of _other_ factors too but... As a side note, 100 yards isn't a great benchmark for accuracy or even _load development_ for that matter! External ballistics does some FUNKY things to a load that "seems great" at 100 but then you test the accuracy at 200 or 300 and all of a sudden the groups can open up after the bullet flight stabilizes better?! For gits-n-shiggles try a load test at 200-300 yards on a fairly calm day for wind and compare to your good load for 100 yards. If you haven't already, might also try the 147 ELD-M's _IF_ you can find em. They'll buck the wind a lot better being heavier for caliber. Like the wind trying to push on a boulder vs a feather, also has less drop farther out too. That's all I shoot but... 🤫 😁 What neck of the woods are you in, Nebraska, Wyoming?

I do not think it really matters what you choose based around accuracy. I think once you know how a certain rifle behaves the auto gets the advantage because you do not have to break grip or move to cycle. But the MRAD is just so cool and the SR is super sweet also. Nice shooting!

I am new to this kind of shooting. Hell im just now in the building process of an AR10 in 308. Never used a scope before. Thats what I call new...lol. but clearly both are amazing guns and at this kind of distance not having the rifles on a fixed mount with no imput from the shooter other than pulling the trigger its damned impressive period. The shooter is the major difference not the gun it seems to me. I just wonder what it would be like if they were mounted so the guns were unable to move kind of thing. doesnt seem to be a lot of difference except to the expert shooter im sure. Loved watching it !!
@MountainsMulletsMerica
@MountainsMulletsMerica Год назад
Oh man dropping the rifles in a fixed rest would be cheating haha. You’re going to be shocked how easily you’re able to make hits at distance once you get your 308 AR10 up and running. In my most recent video I laid out my process for taking a new rifle out of the box and using it to make hits all the way out to 1000ish yds. Check that video out if you haven’t already, I think you’ll find shooting out to distance is way easier than you expect! Thanks for watching!

I have a Tikka TAC A1 in 6.5 Creedmore. I reciently built a .308 gas gun, all custom. Still getting used to it. I need more time on the Gas gun, but agree about the speed factor, where as the Tikka is a tac driver. My scopes arn't as good as yours (Vortext Strike Eagle on the Tikka and an Arken on the Gas gun). Having fun with both.
@MountainsMulletsMerica
@MountainsMulletsMerica Год назад
That’s the downside to gas guns…. They take a lot of practice to be able to shoot well, especially if you’re trying to shoot quickly. To me the fun factor always goes to the gas gun. Tell you what…. I’ve heard the Arlen scopes are great for the money. Might have to get my hands on one down the road for use on the channel.

KAC is no joke. I started looking into getting a knights armament ar15.. when I saw that a complete KAC lower was $2900.. That brought my plans to a halt. Great rifle but you can do just as good (maybe) with a complete custom build that has the best of the best of everything. Then you could likely get 2 of those pricey custom rigs for the price of 1 knights armament.
@MountainsMulletsMerica
@MountainsMulletsMerica Год назад
Yeah now is not the time to be buying kac….. their prices have absolutely skyrocketed lately. In my opinion kac is worth a premium but not what we are seeing currently. I’ve been down the custom rabbit hole before and decided it’s not for me. I’d rather invest in a quality factory rifle.

I would say many say bolt over semi because of dollar per accuracy. I have a load for my M & P 15 that shoots MOA with 55 gr FMJ's. I shoot MOA at 1000 with my Remington 700 AAC SD in 308. Thanks for the video.
@MountainsMulletsMerica
@MountainsMulletsMerica Год назад
You know that’s a great point. Seems like accurate bolt guns are a bit more affordable than an equally accurate semi auto. If you’re handloading however like it sounds like you are, it’s pretty wild how well you can tune a load to make almost any rifle shoot. Thanks for watching!

@billbee235
@billbee235 Год назад
Depends on what you’re trying to do. If you shoot PRS matches and want to win, bolt action still dominates. A purpose built chassis/stock will sit on support bags better for positional shooting. Gas guns will exploit any error in your fundamentals. I’ve run both in matches and typically shoot 5-10 points better with my bolt action which is the difference between finishing in the top 5, or mid pack.
@MountainsMulletsMerica
@MountainsMulletsMerica Год назад
100% agree with you here. If the goal is prs type match shooting, 100% a bolt gun in one of the light recoiling flat shooting calibers is the ticket. That said however I just prefer shooting ARs, to me it’s more fun but of course that’s why they offer different tools for the job haha. Thanks for watching!

I just subscribed, I thought I did earlier but I must have forgotten to a few of your videos before. I knew the gas gun would have done pretty good, but I didn't think it was gonna be as close as it was against that MRAD. Great shooting! I did a 6.5 CM gas gun build from parts. Started with a stripped upper and lower then bought the barrel, trigger and other parts separately over time so it wasn't as painful as buying a completed rifle all in one shot. I don't have access to a range like yours or have another AR in 6.5 CM that was factory built. I was wondering if you could do a comparison of a built vs bought rifle comparison some day? Just to see how an "average Joe"rifle stacks up with the Big guys/ factory rifle. Keep up the great work !!!!

@@ericamby2681 in my opinion if you are consistently getting 1 moa and occasionally better that's plenty good to shoot long range. At that point I'd stop chasing tighter groups and move to shooting distance. I believe the experience gained shooting out to distance is more important than shaving group size at 100 yds. I'm sure the target you'll shoot at distance will be bigger than 1 moa so you're already within the margin of error for the targets you're shooting.

Really interesting topic here. I was always under the preconceived opinion that the bolt gun would likely out perform the gas gun but as you noted the modern development of truly accurate gas guns, they seem to be on par with the bolt gun accuracy. That coupled with the development of really accurate bullets these guns are pretty equal. The ability of the gas gun to do much faster follow up shots without releasing your grip to cycle the action the scale tips significantly in favor of the gas gun in my opinion. Thanks as always for the great video and well thought out material.

Pretty wild what modern gas guns are capable of. I think there are a ton of people out there with the opinion that has guns can’t hang with bolt guns and I really think they’d be shocked with the results if they actually ran the 2 side by side. The main advantage I’ll give the bolt gun is that they are easier to shoot accurately. Consistently running a gas gun to distance with sub moa performance takes a lot of practice.

Awesome video brother. My bolt gun set up is not expensive. Mine is 20 in bull barrel Remington 700 , in 308. On a solid aluminum ORYX CHASSY. I haven't had a chance to test at those long ranges but holding tight 1ch groups at 200 yrd zero. I've killed deer out to 400 yards with it. Would love to put some distance to see how myself and gun would preform. Great video as always!!!!!

Oh man if you’re shooting 1” groups at 200 yds you’ve got an epic setup easily capable of long range work.

Really great video, again! Good bolt guns however, can easily shoot 1/2 MOA out of the box, like a Tika TAC A1, and achieve half that again with adjusting the COAL. Like you, I've never been able to get much lower than 1 MOA with reasonable velocities from a gas gun. I did get 1/2 MOA with my JP LRI-20 using 130 grain ELD-M's at 2450 fps, but ughh.
@MountainsMulletsMerica
@MountainsMulletsMerica Год назад
For sure bolt guns are typically capable of superb accuracy and I believe the mrad is capable of better than the group shown in this video. That said however it is what it is and that’s the group it laid down on video so I ran with it. While 1/2 moa is epic, I’d much rather sacrifice a little accuracy to get more than 2450 fps, that’s not enough to really make the 6.5cm shine. That’s the fun part about this hobby….. there’s always something to tweak and always the opportunity to get better!
@KD-cx6yi

@@MountainsMulletsMerica Your being kind, 2500 FPS is terrible with such a small bullet. I ended up settling on a 140 grain bullet at 2750. and it shoots just under 1 MOA, and is deadly out to 700 yards. Shot a nice white tail at 515 yards, and my follow-up capability was absolutely tremendous; ended up not needing it, but I sent it anyway just to be sure. Kind of interesting how sub MOA doesn't seem to have much of an affect on steels down range out to 1,000 yards, I always thought that it would, but with my experience it doesn't seem to.

Today’s match conditioning techniques can render semi-auto and bolt gun accuracy to be indistinguishable when testing is performed by a credentialed marksman. This is proven in NRA Long-Range Competition where USAMU shooters can get results from match conditioned US Service Rifle that High Master Shooters expect from their any/any class bolt gun preferences.

@MountainsMulletsMerica

You know if I’m getting 1 moa with an AR I’m happy. It takes a lot of work to get them to consistently shoot sub moa and in my experience being able to consistently shoot 1 moa will still allow you to be very effective at distance. If I were you I might try some different bullets to see if anything improves but if you don’t see anything that excites you I’d just accept 1 moa as acceptable and spend my time shooting to distance vs for groups.

Ya. I have a Savage Hunter 308 and it’s a 1 MOA rifle out to 500 yards. I have a Remington 700P bolt that’s definitely more precise, but when it comes to sending lead down range with practical accuracy, a good semi auto is superior all day every day. A semi auto is especially important is the target is moving and at range.
@chef7734
@chef7734 Год назад
That's not true at all. Even our new socom rifle is a bolt action because of the accuracy over the auto action variations that were evaluated. In Sf, we never opted to carry the m110 over the bolt action variants we had in our inventory. The mk12 spr being the exception, but that is in 5.56 and not really a sniper rifle or used in that role. For civilians, you can get quality accurate gas guns, but they will always cost more for the same amount of accuracy achieved than a bolt gun. You can buy an off the shelf bergara b14 hmr that's guaranteed sub moa for 1k or less and close ti 3/4 to half moa gun while a gas gun to achieve that in 6.5 you are looking at a lot more.

Great video. From my experience, the role of the firearm is the most important in the decision. I big heavy bull barrel 6.5c ar. It’s so heavy that I kind of regret it. So I think the weight is important to point out, but the barrel choice impacts the weight a lot.
@MountainsMulletsMerica
@MountainsMulletsMerica Год назад
100% the intended application is the key driver of rifle and setup. I typically prefer heavier barrels and like more weight but I really only target shoot with the occasional match. If I were hunting or carrying my rifles I’d be looking for much lighter options. Like you say, the barrel is the easiest place to shed weight. Thanks for watching!

So here is my take on one or the other. Speed kills and that is true in most things. That said not all things are equal. So running a NEMO Arms Omen Watchmen with the 24" Proof Research carbon barrel with hand loads to match the gun will get you .5 moa or better. I have other build with Proof Research carbon barrel ar's one in 6 arc that also doing this. I love my bolt guns but if choice is one or the other, I choose speed.

In my experience, gas guns are just as good as bolt guns from prone ir from a bench. Bolt guns only really seem to pull ahead when im shooting off barricades where the position isnt as stable, since the gas gun tends to move more during the firing process which effects accuracy. Plus the lock time is slower as well. But ill say most of the time a gas gun is what I like!
