How I Zero in a Rifle 

.what “secret’? It’s OK to use the mag as a 3rd POC..it’s been a myth that it affects “feeding” for a long time. What I’d NEVER heard was that “it got its (bad) start with the ‘marksmanship unit’..

@@m118lr They tell everybody that goes through basic not to rest the mag on the ground. The "secret" part is that it's OK to do so, and Mac here is relaying that knowledge to us clowns.

Magpul magpod is amazing

the reason people learn to not rest the mag on the ground is that their DI would fuck them raw if they did. "oh look, its private pile tired again. you want us to all take a break while you lay your rifle on the ground?" i can literally hear that shit.

Basicaly this dood just said my drill seargent was wrong and im super ok with that

RLE Lens replacement surgery is the way go if you can afford it.

@@Rainersherwood He was talking for the dial, not the scope.

Tier 1 reader

I have seen him have his "readers" tucked in bags and everywhere. I just like that he is so real about it and doesn't care. I'm the same age and I can't see shite without mine and I don't care either.

This is why grip and trigger control is important. Still land those important self defense shots with poor vision.

What part of DFW are you at? I'm in the DFW area as well

Eagle Mountain Lake up in this beotch!!!

@@georgefloydsinhellwbreonna5330 Ahhh the western fringes of DFW. I'm in Arlington. I was gonna say you're welcome to join me and my colleagues to go shoot on private land in SE Dallas but that'd be a drive for ya. Plus we shoot on weekdays when there's less people.

@@UrbanTiger74 Anywhere I’d know? I’m in Plano but have been looking for a new range since Triple C shut down. There’s a bakelite mag in it for you lol. Sounds like you’re closer than ETTS. Love the AK74U by the way.

@@UrbanTiger74 East Dallas over here. I’d certainly welcome an invite to that range.

its all over youtube. BCM quality speaks for itself

BCM is awesome…that group from 300 BO isn’t. I think the curiosity is more with the 300 from a 9”. at least it is for me.

@@ericdbates Possible the gun just doesn't like that load, the 300bo was developed around a 9" barrel and I have shot a few in 9 and 11.5 that shot 1" at 50 yards. I have a 11.5" Wilson Combat barrel on mine and it has shot every load pretty good. At 50 the worst was about 2" and the best just under1" but I have never shot subsonic loads through it, mostly shoot 115's.

@@ericdbates I have some experience with a 7" faxon barrel on an upper I built. I was surprised to find it whips several hand loads sub moa .

@@travish4045 I’m shootin out a 5.5” faxon, haven’t shot at distance from a rest but indoor groups at 30 yards standing are tighter than pats group there.

All Americans, were you under Mike Kawalowski?

@@ianmangham4570 no. This was back in the 90’s

all way correct

I solved my 300 blackout problem by selling the damn thing and sticking with my tried and true 7.62/.308

@@flywheel9759 Roger that f*** 300 Blackout it's garbage. The military doesn't use it no special operator uses it it's trash 762 based rifle or 556 people are just trying to come out with ways to make money doesn't always mean it works

black is for people that can't 7.62x39 =/

Enjoy the new prices on imports you Commie.

@@LIONTAMER3D 7.62x39 is for people that can't 7.62×51 ;)

@@TakoNekko i'm a big fan of dirt cheap & easy to find, so NO 7.62x51R

@@LIONTAMER3D I get totally get it! Just being a smartass.

Accuracy is very, very ammo dependent.

There is a lot of class A companies now . POF, SOLGW is 2 that are top notch and under the radar on the YT but in the real work good to go and a lot of LE preferred DD so check those out

I would call their customer service. I’ve had a lot of experience with BCM SS uppers and they all shot under an inch or better with good ammo. Also once they got good and fouled, they would group good with range ammo.

@@2ndamendment115 I’ve never been impressed with SOLGW barrels. They use BA barrels which are mid grade at best.

When I installed my BCM 14.5" MK2 rail on my factory Rock River 16" Bull Barrel, I had to make specific torque adjustments. Definitely had a 1.5" to 2" variance when sighting in similar to your issue. Even had a range master take a look found the same issue between 50-200 yds. Replaced the RRA 1:9 twist and installed with a BCM 1:7, tried different ammo, higher vs. lower grain. Groups zeroed in flawlessly. Like others stated, it can definitely be ammo dependent but it also could be the sights and whether they're gauged to the caliber rifle and barrel length correctly. But the 1:7 is amongst the easiest fixes considering there are still 1:8 or 1:9 options out there. Same Primary Arms Optic, same lower, same BCM rail, all I did was swap for a 1:7 twist BCM to handle several loads. And some careful torquing.

He does mention its 50yds at the beginning and the 50yds to 200yds isn’t equivalent to the .300blkout. 50yd zero will be roughly 8-9” drop at 200yds with supersonic rounds.

He likes 50-200yd zero. It's what works with his optic, it may not work with other optics and it's height over bore, for the record.

Hooah 11b?

My very layman philosophy is whether I get shot in the sternum or 2 inches low and to the left really doesn't matter all that much. Same with caliber- I don't want to get shot by .22, 223, nor 300 BLK, etc. (is that "basic dude stuff"?). Good luck with whatever you decide to build.

@paulsred65 Well I know Mac is a much better shot than me, so the chances of me getting good hits with that are much lower. My inaccuracy + the limiting inaccuracy of the equipment is too much for my comfort.

Great Idea! I have a 8.5" sbr I pig hunt with and go back and forth with supers vs subs. Been wanting a better system other than re-zeroing all the time.

heh, 9” at 50m is like an 18 MOA rifle. not so good outside a hallway.

In 07 we were still using 20s for group and zero during BRM in basic. They %100 appeared to be from VN era or somewhere near to. Bluing and finish all worn down, etc. Never saw another one after that.

..a LOT of shooters HOLD the mag well, and in terms of ‘damage’ inflicted TO BOTH HAND AND RIFLE) there probably wouldn’t be much difference

F=MA

Yeah same with me. I’m new to 300 blk so I thought I was just sucking.

I misread that and thought, "Nah, service rivalry aside he wouldn't discriminate against Marines."
