@@MountainsMulletsMerica Spare me the false humility bro. We all know you live out in the sticks and practice precision shooting all the time because a zombie horde of super models instantly forms anytime you show your face in public. All I ask is you leave a few 9s and 10s for the rest of us. Great content keep it up....
A gun review that actually reviews the the gun based off of performance. So refreshing to see. Most GRV’s now are just paid advertisements. Thank you good sir.
So awesome that you’re enjoying the content! I’ve been around a couple of years now and have had steady growth the whole time, glad you decided to stop by and join the community! Lots of new content coming so stay tuned and don’t forget to tell your buddies about the channel!
My MR762 (non LRP light barrel version) hovers around .7 moa 10 shot groups with 175 Federal Gold medal match. Seems to shoot better suppressed. Never had a malfunction
I watch the 1 moa challenge on Texas Plinking, 1 moa @ 1000 yds. No spotter, no warm ups. As I watch I wonder what the target looks like. This video gave me the idea I was looking for as well the wind adjustment necessary for that level of wind. Im impressed that you made 1100 yards with a 16” ar style rifle. Thanks for the video ,subscribed, best of luck in your endeavors.
Got HK 223 A3 and had the 308 in loan for few months. They are freaking accurate. I have doped my MR223 out to 1200yds few times and frequently to 770. Last time at 770 I knocked 6 targets of 1 to 3 moa all on first shot. I am pondering on buying the HK 308 A3, A1 used or waiting for the Sako AR10 version to come up. Usual accuracy with bulk is 1.3 to 1.8 moa Match loads 0.8 to 1.2ish (been a looong time since I shot any but tested like 10 different) My handloads are quite the same, but definitely usually below 1moa. At 1 moa 5 shot group I know I messed up which is fantastic. My last 10 shot group is 0.7 moa. My load is: 75gt HPBT, 24.3gr N540.
That juggernaut is a dandy in 308. I guess it’s the bearing surface but it seems to give velocities very close to 175’s in my gun. One more thing you could add to your presentations might be a WEZ analysis if you have that software. Kind of computed differences vs observed. Tough conditions in the video so harder to draw conclusions. As an Hk fanatic and berger fan this video tugged my heartstrings
I have the Dollar store version of this rifle (POF) 1:8 inch it seems to really like the federal 175 S Game king Really nice shooting. Every H&K I’ve had has been top notch
It has insane performance accuracy and stabilization for a 16" 308. It sounds cliche, but most people who hate this gun hate the exclusionary price tag. Mine has no trouble holding a half inch or better with 178 handloads. Smks and other high end will also get there, but i dont have as many of those rounds through it to be definitive.
Enjoyed the video. As a fellow Hk MR762 A1 owner I think we really need a better day shooting with it. It was fairly impressive watching it handle the wind fairly well but ammo and wind on it kinda gave a it a mediocre finish. Maybe better ammo with a decent velocity spread and maybe NOT quite that windy. I get it you’re getting out of your comfort zone which we all need to do but for a review I wouldn’t have done that. Break out the SR25 and work on the wind calls etc. something you know fairly well. As always appreciate your content.
I have the LRP I & LRP III packages. Both were accurate right out of the box. The farthest I have shot both were 500 with average 762 NATO rounds. I can't say enough good about both. Yes, the price is up there, but the "package" comes with a few more items not shown or mentioned in your video. I found the LRP III for just under 6k. The bare MR762 rifle is just under 4k. To me they are priced in range with all other HK implements. Thanks for the review. I need to go shooting now!
I have MR308-A3-28 (g28 clone) and it shoots great considering it has chrome lined barrel. Getting around 1 moa 10 shot groups with factory S&B 175 grain ammo. I have to try some better ammo or handloads to squeeze a bit more accuracy out of it!
I build a g 28 variant with a milled steel upper (receiver) Geissele trigger Custom Krieger 20 inch barrel fitted with adjustable HK417 gas port topped with a Steiner T6si scope. That is what I think is the best DMR I have shoot so far.
I've had mine for 8 years now, and it has been excellent. I have to start running some 175gr SMK and TMK to see what it can do. IT's only a 16.5" barrel, so it's not getting top tier velocity, but still a solid performer. Furthest I've shot with it is 791 yards, going 2 for 10 with a little wind, and 168gr FGMM SMKs. The T5Xi 3-15x50 was a perfect size match for getting out to that distance too.
@@navyman8903 I really enjoyed your video review on this rifle. It’s kind of a shame that mullet man didn’t show off the internal components like you did. As expected lots of comments saying that their PSA is just as good.
You have easily one of the best long range/ precision shooting RU-vid channels out there! I used to do a bit of a long range up to a thousand yards but have run into some health issues. I had to sell off most of my rifles except for My Daniel Defense M4A1, Cz 457 AT ONE and my EDC. I have a vortex Razor HD 3x18 on my cz457. Reason I bring it up is financially. Things have gotten difficult where I get sick, watching your videos semi replaces being able to shoot out of distance with higher caliber rifles that I had to sell. Definitely have learned a few things watching you shoot! The furthest I've taken my cz457 is roughly 440 yards, still fine but not the same. Keep up the good work dude!! Merica 🇺🇲🙏🏻👍🏻
Great job on this video. The only HK I would be interested in buying if I had the money is the HKM27 rifle only in the $4,000 range that I have seen. Just because the Marine Corps used it mostly. The HK7.62 shot better than I thought with that short barrel, but I honestly think it should have no less than a 20” inch barrel. Otherwise good job with the video and the crazy wind lol 😂
I’ve been practicing in the wind recently and set up 2 simple “flags” really just a sick with a white grocery bag cut up and made in to a streamer like flag and the other one is about 100 yards away that I cut the bag with a little pouch into it so I can add pebbles into it to weight it down so when the wind is really high it won’t just be blowing straight sideways. Just add pebbles to where it’s more or less soaring at 45 degrees lol.. it works great and I believe it’s helping me read wind like never before. For me anyway it’s takin a while to be able to intuitively read the wind which is what I’m trying to get better at! Cheers and good shooting!
Long time HK fan and user(handguns only- Mk23, P7, USP, P30) . Can’t currently afford any of Heckler and Koch’s center fire rifle offerings. However, if I could you bet I’d have an MR762 and MR556!
Rant...Thank you for calling this out as being overpriced, and that's coming from an HK fan. For the $6k-$7k street price, and $8.5k MSRP, it should be significantly better equipped. I can buy a seekins sp10 (spoiler alert, I did after selling the MR762), which are well documented to be highly reliable and group 1/2 to 3/4 MOA (can confirm, most accurate gas gun I've ever put on paper) for $2700 and still have plenty of money left over for a nice piece of glass and bipod before I reach the price of the MR762 LRP. Not to mention the SP10 has a superb single stage timney trigger as standard, adjustable gas block, and takes standard AR10/SR25 mags. You technically can't even run a standard (non-flow through) suppressor on the MR762 without installing a $500 Waffen Burk adjustable gas block. I don't regret many gun purchases, but the MR762 LRP is definitely on that list. I got sucked into drinking the kool aid by the HK forum douche bags that think everything HK makes is god tier. Lesson learned for sure.
I went from thinking one of our guys at work was over-hyping Seekins (I wasn't familiar with them), to completely reversing my opinion after meeting Danny and Matty Nelson (Seekins Reps) at an industry event. I was so impressed by them that I purchased two of their rifles (HIT and a SP-10) within a few months of that trip. One of the positions we were shooting from was a kneeling position off a cattle gate, and bracing the stock against a tripod leg. Matty was cheering me on while spotting for me as I had a 2.5" group going at 600 yards... which I then proceeded to turn into a 5" group with the last shot. Matty was more disappointed in that last shot than me, but it cemented that I wanted an SP-10. Months later I found out that GA Precision builds their GAP-10 using Seekins' receivers and handguard.
They cost half that price in Europe but I still don't like the proprietry nature of all their parts that are really expensive compared to the competition.
Your video production and presentation skills are excellent. Your analysis is honest and verified by real world experience. Your channel reminds me of the Honest Outlaw, MAC and TFB tubers who are also no shills for the firearms industry. You are unique from them since you are doing long distance shooting, which they do not typically, esp. out to a mile. Thus, you have a brand new subscriber and I hope you have many more in the future.
I was looking at the H&K. Ended up buying a LWRC Reaper with a sixteen inch barrel. Side charger. Went with the same rifle scope as yours with a Seekins mount. Updated the rifle with a LWRC Ambi safety selector and Ambi magazine release. Also upgraded the trigger to a two stage Geissele and the stock to a B5 stock precision stock. ZEV Industries muzzle device. It’s a first Gen rifle. But full Ambi lower now. Gun is extremely accurate. Will be reaching out to a thousand soon.
My non LRP MR762 shoots junk 150 grain fmj sub moa, I cannot shoot at distance though, this was only 200 yards. It’s my understanding the barrels have a different twist rate, mine also has the old heavy barrel. I think they’ve changed, but don’t quote me on that. I paid exactly 4k which was expected.
At 1100 yds your corrective shots were very late. The semis shine in bad wind conditions at least not ELR distances as you can make a corrective shot just as you spot the miss! The hardest part in this is to keep mental notes of wind conditions to learn and also read if the wind actually changed drastically from the first shot.
Another outstanding video. Love watching these. I went with a sig 716 gen 2 DMR. I could get an H&K over here in europe but the proprietry accessories scared me off.
good spot for some long range, all that dry dirt helps showing your splash but the downside being wind... good for training wind call I guess. another good vid
Would love to see a comparison video on a day with light winds. Also a comparison between standing/sitting using the tripod versus prone using the bipod. It seemed the scope was dancing around more off the tripod than off the bipod (at longer range).
That amount of wiggle is pretty typical of skilled tripod shooting. As someone that has done a lot of tripod shooting both in competition and on my own range days, I'm actually fairly impressed with how steady he is off a tripod. It's never going to be as stable as shooting prone off of a bipod, but it is more versatile in terms of different shooting positions/conditions
@@charlesmartin1121 different applications, a machine gun isn't trying to take precise single shots, it's trying to create an area of denial. Tripod lets you more precisely aim at a specific angle or adjust to a specific area for a beating zone and hold it there, while a bipod can get pushed around more on a long string of fire, opening up the cone
@@leadcloud Yes I know a machine gun is not the same as a precision rifle. So the reason a tripod mounted machine gun can fire to longer effective range is because the weapon can be elevated to a greater degree than when firing prone off a bipod?
More that it can hold the machine gun in a specific spot/at a specific angle for a long string of fire, and since it requires less precision than trying to land a single shot, the effect is a tighter beating zone at distance, increasing shot density for a longer range than a bipod with a squishy human behind it
My MR762 seems to do well with 175g GMM if wanting to push >650 yds. Transonic experience on the 168g was not so great. I’d have to tried 185g, but based on this video, I’ll definitely take a look. I’m running the MR762 Geissele trigger, which I’d recommend. Tighten up my grouping a bit better. Recoil impulse seems better than say SCAR-17S. Proprietary mags are a pain and I’m still trying to find an ambi charging handle from, Geissele. I love my MR762, but the proprietary nature of HK is a pain. I’d get the same performance or better with any other AR-10. I have it to have it. It’s a tank. But I could’ve saved $1000-2000, which could’ve been another set of optics lol.
@@0_1_2it’s a 1 MOA rifle, maybe a tad less with a 16 in barrel. It’s not magic. Like I said, I own one. Pushed out to 800 yds no problem. I enjoy it. But nothing to write home about, other than its “HK”.
I think for that cartridge human torso target at 800 should be reasonable. I don’t know why they wouldn’t just go 308 instead of 762 as it seems to have a little more versatility.
Great video! I have the MR762 in the normal A1 configuration not the LRP to save a significant amount of money they can be had for around $3k nowadays. Surprised you didn’t run it suppressed! Mine runs phenomenally well with the surefire 762 mini2. Getting the factory flash hider off was another issue entirely though. I would highly recommend the geissele trigger and trying M80 ammo rather than the M118lr crap..this non-chrome lined MR barrel shoots M80 PHENOMENALLY WELL. I can get 1moa or better with M80 most days as long as I do my part
Fit and finish, lock-up, etc should be nice for the amount of money this rifle costs. For the price, HK should put a decent trigger in there. Damn, HK really hates us. The proprietary magazines are a terrible idea. I'd only buy it if I had money to piss away.
It is not HK's Fault with the Trigger thank the German Military and their Stupid high Standard for Drop Saftey .... Yes HK could put another Trigger in it for the Civil Market but they build only one Trigger for every Riflemodel
I didn’t have it mounted correctly…. I don’t think that arca rail on the rifle was correct spec which didn’t allow the tripod head to fully tighten. I’ve since swapped to a different rail and it’s running just like it should
Very impressed with my Two Vets Recon V2. Very well built and user friendly equipment. Awesome shooting in challenging conditions. Wind humbles everyone.
As always excellent shooting. You would think if the goal was to get better range out of a 16” barrel the military would have gone with a flatter cartridge like .260 Remington. .308 is tough in the wind as it is but out of that short barrel going out past 600 must be rough. You make it look easy though. It’s always a pleasure watching you shoot sir.
Very comprehensive and informative, as usual. Might I suggest killing the wind noise and dubbing over those clips instead? Some of us watch on TV and it's loud af while we can't hear you. Also fix that handlebar brother. :)
Man the wind was a total fail in this one… I didn’t realize until a week or so after filming that my mic had actually quit working and the bulk of the audio in this was recorded without a mic. I’ve got a new mic setup so fingers crossed it doesn’t happen again. So annoying! The mustache is now dialed! Appreciate the continued support!
As far as I know, the SDMR version is using the HK barrel from Germany, which is chromelined. The american version is the budget version with a lesser barrel.
@@pilotincommand85 Given the performance I have seen here, then it is lesser accuracy. I will upload a video with my MR308, its at 100 meters much more accurate just about 1 MOA with a 5 shot group, while this MR762 did 1.6
Yeah same here…. I’m not familiar enough with the G28 to know how it’s different than my rifle. I’ll do a little digging and see if I can find out the differences and maybe include in future content.
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Some differences: 1. Larger bolt catch paddle. 2. All Steel upper with a slight notch in the deflector. 3. Rear Flip up sights. 4. S&B 3-20 x50 scope with an aimpoint t1, integrated laser filter and tenebraex kill flash. 5. G28 Handguard with flip up sights built in. 6. Plastic fire selector switches. 7. G28 style flash hider. 8. Adjustable gas block. 9. HK v7 grip with tool inside. 10. LLM-225 Some things that are nice about the LRP package are you get the G28 stock, extended buffer tube, heavy barrel profile, ambidextrous end plate, and the larger castle nut. If you choose to get some of these other things to make a clone, make sure you get them directly from HK and not the scumbag resellers. I really enjoy your videos and your presentation style. I would love to request that you use a spotting scope with a camera attached or perhaps a camera with a magnification lens pointed down range as your “spotter”. That way we can see the trajectory and shockwaves of the projectile going down range.
I’m ok with the accuracy you got. But I’d be real hesitant on the rifle due to needing a trigger right out of the gate and it don’t run standard AR mags and failure to feed. I enjoyed the video. And heck no on that price.
Another great video! Good demonstration about what shooters can actually expect from High Quality gas guns. My SIG762 G2, ($2,800) with standard NATO ball shoots...maybe 1.25. With Lapua Factory 175 its better at .75, as well as Factory Federal Gold Medal 168- also about .75. Keep up the excellent content- this is a gold mine.
The m118 ammo is longer than standard. Magpul has mag’s for this ammo … not for this gun (the mags are stamped M118 and have a red label on the bottom)
HK M110A1 is a super solid platform . I personally do not think it's worth the money . Seekins SPM10 or Larue OBR I believe are half the cost with identical performance. Geissele did win SOCOM Contract for CSASS and SASS but different units have diffrent needs that's why some units use SPM10 , some use M110A1 and others use Geissele. I've always favored Larue AR10s when it comes to CSASS / DMR or SASS .
This has not been my experience at all nor did the military testing indicate this. According to HKPro they updated the gas port size to be larger on 2022+ made models so if problems continue I’d contact customer service.
Great review as always. 185 juggernauts are my favorite bullet for .308. They're super efficient for the case volume and great bc. I shot my friend's mr762 and ended up buying a sig 716 16" for myself. The sig does everything the mr762 does but at a lighter weight and 1/3 the cost. Getting 3/4moa with the 716 and 185gr juggernaut FGMM ammo. The one possible advantage the mr762 might have is shooting suppressed with the piston configuration but my sig 716 shoots great suppressed, just a little over gasses as you might expect.
The rifle should be flawless at $7k. You would think the trigger would be a little more refined let alone some of the other average things at the well above average price point. Some people just like paying for a name.
