Palmetto PA-10 Gen 3- AR10 Accuracy - SIG MSR 1-10x 

Thanks for spending your time and money to teach us something, I appreciate it.

Outstanding video presentation !!!!!! Kudos to you and that PSA 10 with upgrades

I appreciate your great videos! You just got yourself a new subscriber.

Love to see another local on the RU-vid, good video 👍 I hit Ben Avery at least twice a month

Used the freedom 168 amax was very pleased, had a 3/4to a 1 in group at a 100 yrd range .I've always shot 165 168 grain out of my 308 3006 and always been very happy. Great job keep them coming

I appreciate you focusing on stats. Good vid.

Love the old timer in the background slingin that lead.

I have the gen two. I have found the barrel to be very tite at the gas block inside the barrel. So, I lapped the barrel with 500 strokes, and it has greatly improved my accuracy. Mine likes hornady 168 a-max at 2700 fps. 2.81 o.a.l. vortex dimondback tactical.4x16x44 I have made a few one hole 5 shot groups at 100 yards. Nice video!

Nice video would like to see an in depth review on the scope you are the only one on RU-vid that has this scope on a gun

I zeroed at 100 with my PSA10 with Federal 168 grain. I have now shot about 100 rounds through it and still sub MOA. I have a Primary Arms 4x14 scope and have a .5 cheek riser on magpul

I have found that my PA-10 really likes the American Marksman Bullets 1st 147gr for cheap range days. 1-1.5 MOA reliably. Usually 2-2.5" groups at 150 (farthest my local range goes). Only changes are a Sprinco buffer spring and turning the gas block down 5 clicks.

Looking forward to you're hog hunting videos. I've been running a pa10 gen 3 for the same reason. I get about 2 moa at 100yr with mine but im a shotgun guy for the most part and not a sharp shooter at all.

Nice review man! I was looking at that scope for one my Ar .308’s I have 4. My only suggestion to you is’ for precision shooting especially groups you would do a lot better with a scope with higher magnification like a 6-24x50 or 5-25x56. If you have a higher power scope I almost guarantee you will get better groups with more magnification. Of course someone will say you can do it with the scope you have on it now’ but I’ve seen people get tighter groups with that rifle with a higher magnification scope and similar ammo. If have you have another scope I would try again’ you might be surprised.

Federal ammo seems to work great out of everything I try it in. Glad to hear about the Norma, picked up a few boxes when PSA had them cheap a couple months back. Enjoyed your content, thanks. Happy New Year’s!

Not bad man... good video

we shoot the reman 168 hpbt bullets. out of a gen 2 ar10 grouping was the biggest 1.5 to an .75 moa at 100 yards. Upon a revaluation after the 1.5 moa was achieved the screws on the scope mount had worked them selves loose. So we used some locktight and secured the mount better and we shot again. This time we .5 moa to 1moa. About the mount it was a cheap one from amazon and has been replaced since. This rifle shoots a consistent 1 moa at 100 yards. Palmetto made a winner.

The 308 is fun, but have you ever thought about throwing a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel on that AR-10? Awesome video. Thanks!

🔥

Love an actual accuracy video. However... I'd include all "flyers", unless you call it at the time of firing before looking down range.

Good vid

glad you shot so many. norma was the best out of mine as well except for the match which is $2 each

Sooo glad i got the full rail @ freedom week sale. 570$ PA-10 has to be the best 308 deal of the year IMO.

Good video. I have a Gen 2. If you have not upgraded the trigger and added a muzzle break, please try that. I have Good results from just a little effort.

Ben Avery for the win!

Piece of advice when adjusting your ocular lens... Start out with it at max magnification and the parallax set to infinity if the scope allows. Close your eye let your eye relax and while your eye is close make an adjustment (this is where having two people is handy) open your eye no longer than 2-3 seconds and look at the reticle(having a blank background like the sky or white piece of paper is best) and only your reticle if it looks worse close your eye and twist it the other way than you did the previous time and in the beginning you can use huge course adjustments till you get close to pretty good but not perfect reticle. As you adjust back and forth make finer and finer adjustments till the reticle is sharp and no fuzziness closing your eye between each adjustment and not leaving your eye open for more than 2-3 seconds. The reason you do this if you look at something long enough your eye will begin to stretch and contort to focus what you are looking at but that is not what you want you want the optic focused to your eye relaxed. I am sure some good videos exist that show this and explain it even better than I do. Nice shooting!

I have a Gen 3 with a Geissele SSA trigger and found it likes plain old PMC bronze 147 gr. It's still pretty new with

Sweet I just put the Sig 1-10*26 Saint 308

Federal gold medal 175gr Sierra mkhp

Using 42.5 gr of imr 4895 and 178 gr ELD-X bullets in Hornady brass. I go 1/2" groups out of a new PA-10.

Great video. I shot mine yesterday using Ammo 7.62 150g. I feel like the cheaper or lower grain makes a good match for my pa10 factory straight out the box. Groups were 1.5 moa shot at 100yrd using a 2.5-10 Burris Fullfield. I only used the lowest 2.5 mag setting.

Good video. The groups aren't too bad with just a bipod and no rear stock support. The groups would probably tighten up more if the forend was resting on a large saddle type sandbag, and you had a rear bag under the buttstock.

168 gr Nosler match with 43 grains of IMR 8208 XBR, Federal match primers and Norma brass gives me sub half inch groups at 100 yds in my PSA 18" 308 rifle.

Isso mostra a importância de se encontrar a munição ideal para o seu rifle, considerando peso de projétil, profundidade de assentamento e quantidade de pólvora.

mine likes ball and loves 150gr soft points (Norma and Hornady whitetail). Academy Sports in my area always has Norma 150 soft points in stock.

I've never had good results with SIG ammo in any caliber, pistol or rifle

Nice vid. The PA10 has a 1:10 twist. Skip using the cheap 150ish grain ammo and use 170 to 180 grain ammo. The 1:10 twist is intented to stabilize heavier rounds. It may also be a good idea to have a higher magnification for an AR10. A .308 can reach out beyond 1000 yards assuming everything else is calibrated.

I have one and of all things it loves Aguilla 147gr. the best.

Bro, that is awesome. I also loved in Arizona and was at Ben Avery last Saturday and I was sighting in my AR10 pistol in 308. I have been testing the SIG MSR 1-6 power. Good to see another Arizonian with the wonderful AR10 platform. I also have a SIG Tread 716i in 308 with the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 seconds focal plane. That is awesome too. How did your brass look coming from the gun? Does the brass look good to reload?

I was guessing Ben Avery before you mentioned. Love that range, but I live up north now so it's not my range anymore!

ha, ha, ha... 12:11 minutes ... the very happy face of the naive kid when his toy finally delivers the pleasure he expects!

Thanks for the video! I just got my Sig Tango MSR 1-10 in the mail to mount on my AR-10. There's no reticle information that I can find. Did yours come with any?

How is the 1x performance from the MSR? Very close to true 1x or do you get some magnification? Also, any fisheye or odd shifts within the lenses? A good way to test it is to look at power lines or straight wall/line objects & slowly move left/right/up/down to see if there are breaks within the lines/objects as you move the scope on them.

Bullet weight has a close correlation with barrel twist rate. That would explain why different weight ammo could be wildly different. Also, factory bullet velocity can affect the shot placement and different barrel lengths can change the accuracy of a single brand of ammunition. It’s good you tried different ammo though because it showed you what your rifle likes the most, so now you just have to stock up on that ammo, redo the zero for that ammo to make sure it’s dead on, and then from there the more you shoot the better you will do as long as you maintain your shooting fundamentals. I would suggest getting a laser range finder and finding private land to shoot on so you’re not on a time limit at the range. Then you can set targets up using the range finder to put targets from 100m to about 800m and start practicing stretching out the distance.

Have you noticed? There is always a flyer on most of your groups....so heat factor must be kept in mind....so...keep a group of 3 or check your barrel for copper build up at the gaz port.

I saw your other video. You said you used a laser to bore sight then didn't get hits at 50 yards then discovered you were 8" high. I recommend pulling your BCG and looking through the barrel at 25 yards to zero. That will really reduce your ammo for zeroing. Questions: what is MSR, and what is LVPO? (I'm a bolt action guy, never heard those terms before) Mainly interested in that scope. Big sig kilo fan.

Im curious to know what the barrel profile looks like on this rifle. Perhaps I missed it. I always likes the 168 grain sierra match king type bullet. I dont think that group size is all that bad for an autoloader. Certainly good enough for deer hunting up here in New England. Great vid! thanks!!

hey man do you like that bulky stock? like it doesnt get in the way of getting close for better view down the glass?

Ben Avery! i'll give a local guy's video a like! On the fence about this platform. Would you recommend?

Palmetto state has the Norma ammo on sale for 14.99 for Memorial Day sale. If you are looking for more

How do you like the SIG 1X10 LPVO? Have you had any issues and do you think the glass is clear?

My gen 3, 18" is getting about .8 to 1 MOA with AAC Precison and Gold medal match.

I’ve got basically the same rifle, the kit I got came with a 2 stage trigger and adj has block. What do you think of that scope?

bought one recently and not only were mags falling out of the gun but the bolt release didn’t work either, replaced those parts before i even fired it for the first time and low and behold on the last safety check it fired out of battery , checked again and the trigger would fire even if the bolt was around a half inch out of battery, entirely dangerous and shitty to do to your countrymen as a u.s. based company.

Gorilla 175 it'll shoot a 1-inch group the federal with the Sahara matchking 168 grain shot of 1-inch group but believe this the wolf Steel shot a sub minute of angle group

I know you're releasing the video soon, but really curious about the eyebox, as I'm looking to buy a 34mm cheaper 1-10 quick. Haha little preview? Good, tight, forgiving? Anything helps. Side to side and up and down at 1x is what I'm really curious about. Ive had the swampfox 1-10 and it was very nice but has a very tight eyebox

Try the federal gold metal 185gr juggernaut.

Why do some of the gen 3 have the stainless barrels??? Which are better?

Does anyone know what kind of muzzle device comes standard with this gun? Looking at compensators to help with the kick and would like to be able to compare the default device to the new ones.

I know this is a couple years old but have you heard or tried True Velocity ammo!!

I bought one 3 weeks ago, she’s a shooter, 1/4 moa at 100 yds using federal premium msr ammo 150gr. No issues with it, love it. Want to ask what muzzle brake you have on yours and if it helped you with the recoil. I just ordered the same charging handle from them.

I have a PSA10 with a 20" barrel and I got a 3/4" group with Nosler 175gr BTHP. If you get the chance give it a try.

That’s a Blemished lower for sure, handgrip area ?

If every group has a flyer it’s not a flyer! It’s the group

How did u mount the tripod

man i just wish i had a good place to shoot

Not bad at all, I wouldn't want to be the target on any of those ammos.

I got a er15 s w want 2 put a tri pod on it

Dude in the background is ancient... 99 and still 100😂

Is this 18" or 16" barrel?

2 things to consider: 1) I've never had good accuracy with any of the Sig ammo I've shot, in any caliber. 2) A tried and true real ass gunsmith that I know told me that flyers could be caused my the magazine. In the sense that the last round loaded (or first) could be the flyer round. You could try shooting some groups and seeing if the flyer was the first or last round, etc...

Aero precision it seems better ...

What stock is that

What caliber?

My PA-10 Gen 3 likes 180gr rounds. Every barrel is different 🤷‍♂

Sucks that that grip is so far off in terms of tolerances

Have you taken this rifle hunting yet?

My man,..,.,. Tisk tisk. Large frame AR's are one of the more difficult things to shoot accurately and precise. I agree about "accuracy" reviews being largely irrelevant. Esp with these things. If you want a few tips. Or anyone that bothers to read this. Use front AND rear bags. Get some 10rd mags. Use your four fingers on trigger hand to gently pull the buttplate into your shoulder. Concentrating on maintaining the same shoulder to stock pressure with each shot. Your trigger finger should be bent and squeezed back at an angle exactly 90° to the rifle. If your not hearing the trigger reset after each shot. You are not following through correctly. Don't slap the trigger. You want a natural point of aim. In other words. If your flexing or moving the cross hairs to put them on the bull. It isn't sitting right in the bags. You want the rifle to be aiming directly where your aiming with ZERO input from yourself. Maintain the same eye position for every shot. Which will eliminate any paralax error. Some rifles seem to shoot better with the the off hand holding the forearm. Some do not. Try both ways. And a good aftermarket trigger will make a world of difference for us folks not named Tubbs or Litz. As stupid as it sounds. Tuning the gas block to as low as you can and maintain reliability makes a big difference on paper. Why? A bunch of reasons no one wants to hear.

no bypod is better than a shitty one

Your hand grip doesn't fit

Rimington 150 psp you cannot beat it.
