Worlds Deadliest Sniper or Biggest Troll? 

And what is your credentials?

When I was in we trained 308 with iron sights out to 600 yards

300 yards in basic training

At least that's what it is in the army which this guy was in, not sure what marines do. Depending on your unit in the army you could shoot further, I believe rangers shot to 500 yards but that's not in basic training

It isn't the first time Lunkers has been an absolutely abysmal spotter for another shooter. I don't doubt Nick's ability, he's public enough at this point that so many people would've outed him as a liar at this point. Lunkers on the other hand, I don't understand it. Everything you said is 100% right, this is basic stuff that should be like reflexive to him but it doesn't seem to be. It's 100% true that military service alone doesn't automatically make anyone a good shooter but these guys aren't just your average 11Bs, they would've memorized all this stuff in sniper school. That said, our military today relies heavily on top of the line ultra expensive gear, stuff the average hobby shooter isn't going to spend a couple months rent buying. Without all that tech, some of them are pretty much mediocre at best, even though they shouldn't be.

Lunkers was force recon not even SOF my theory is nick former ranger was just being humble and not showing him up on his own channel after he let him promote his new book. Recon guys are known for telling everyone they are snipers cuz they went to a school once and never used their long guns

@@gavinD1219 Its hard to watch ANY of the Lunker dudes videos ...he comes off as REALLY douchey IMO in the few videos Ive watched on his channel !

@@gavinD1219 pretty sure he was Army. Said in one of the few videos I watched of his he was an Army sniper and used the M24 but it’s been a while and I could be wrong.

@@thomassellers3813 I believe you are correct and that’s why he bought a M24

I think lunkers attended a basic designated marksman school, not a classic "rear sniper program", from what I understand he was somehow attached to a group that contained SOF members and he carried a SCAR 17 mostly... I think Lunkers is purposefully misrepresenting his actual military record in order for social media influence, The Nick guy seems to not be misrepresenting his service, although I haven't looked into the "most deadly" claims, Nick seems genuine and like he was pulled into the spotlight by his "friends" wanting to use his credentials and service record to boost their own greed and fame... Just my opinion. Lunkers ex-wife can attest to his character as well...

Every other video I've seen of Nick shooting, he has been on point. I wonder of he was trying to avoid showing Lunker up on his own channel. Although, he never really seems to have issues when he is on Demolition Ranch, either

I've never been in the military and find this video cringeworthy.

When I went to basic training in 1999, they showed us how to hit targets out to 500 yards using iron sights on the m-16a2 service rifle. Hitting at 500 yards with a scoped high end precision bolt action rifle, using a .308 cartridge should be a chip shot.

​@@copo2835Nick was never a sniper, he was a designated marksman he doesn't really know what he's doing, he tells the internet he was a sniper bc it gets him game and money

Marine....this guy is a fake He has said so many thing that only a 10 year old would believe and he says them as fact. The only reason he gets over is because people WANT to believe. Somebody needs to call Don Shipley on this fraud. Gnna ramble just a little. We shot at 500 yards open sights and the 300 yard of our course involved the kneeling....every single one of us would have went UNQUALIFIED if we shot like this. 0311/8152 Semper Fi

Yeah, I watched a couple of their videos some time ago, entertaing at first, but anything military related they talk about started to sound fishy really quick, more so when you see them actually shoot

All these videos of Seals speaking on their kills but you somehow missed it. People die in war buddy, that's the nature of the business.

Most military guys are the most LOUD mouth. This is just facts... They love talking about how good they are... Love to use the word civilians in family gathering... Bunch of lil boys acting like men.

I hear what you are saying but they were not making calls and adjustments on the fly, they changed their measurements and took way too many rounds to get to Zero. It was just a bad video, im sure Nik is alot better than that.

In fairness to Lunkers and Nick, precision shooting =/= sniping. Waaaaay more to sniping than just shooting. Shooting is a key part, but you have tools to help you over come that (plus daily training that they haven't had in almost 2 decades for lunkers, idk how long for nick) like they aren't those guys any more. I use to ruck 15-20 miles fairly easily, now I'd struggle and some recreational hiker could easily destroy me out there, doesn't make him a better infantryman that I was just means I'm far removed from my glory days and he's current. I'm not saying this justifies the complete shit show, but just keep in mind these guys haven't been billy badass in a while, but when they needed to be they did, in fact, get it done.

He has a video about cheap vs custom rifles and he lost me on that one. Really made me question his gun knowledge

An inadequate spotter makes it pretty difficult for the shooter especially if there relaying the wrong information.

I'm not really sure but I think this is a reupload or something I've seen this reaktion video last year or something and if you scroll through the comments you can see that there are comments from a year ago even though the "upload date" is today 😅

Not good

Nick is an actual veteran, sniper in the military, maybe Marines? Not 100% sure on the branch. He has a decent kill amount. But yeah, this video is hard to watch. I can only assume that he's been out of the military for a while and hasn't done much of this. That's what I want to say, anyway lol.

​@@Lovell93 yeah, I know all about Nick. Not knocking his military service at all. He's a bad dude, but this video he released with LunkersTV was a poor display of skill and a bit much on the ego part. They could be a little more humble. Shooting is still just shooting regardless of military accolades. That's why a lot of these guys stay out of the competition world, because they would get smoked by every day people if the task was just shooting. Guys like Nick are highly trained in tactics, fieldcraft, and putting bullets on bad guys that get within their comfort zone - things I personally know nothing about.. but I can zero a rifle in 5 shots and if I'm prone I probably won't miss my second shot - and I'm just some random guy that likes to shoot a lot

Welcome to this awesome sport!!!

Honestly, watching the video when he can't hit shit and even can't zero his rifle makes me think that he never dropped any body, except by accident and just full of bullshit.

This doesnt really prove anything. If one person has the fundamentals and one doesnt, who would rather shoot under stress

@@Dexter-nw2fe Nick came in clutch on deployments as he needed to be. Easy to shoot a target when its not shooting back at you with NOT JUST AKs and RPKs but RPGs too. Nick said it in his book he wasn't the world's greatest sniper, but he gained his "deadliness" tag because he was in a target rich environment. He has nothing to prove. He saved many lives during his deployments. Long range shooting is a perishable skill and when Nick was in his prime (i.e. deployment ready) he was able to do what he needed to. This video seemed personal.

@@dantenicholson9744 I agree!! I came across this video because I have been very interested in getting into the long range shooting sport. But the attitudes of the so called “expert shooters” in the comment section as well as the presenter, is a bit off putting.

Had the same exact scope on a Ruger American predator in 6.5 creedmoor for a few years. Such a nice scope that made walking the shot in so easy. Shot to over 1000 yards with it with less issue than these dudes.

Id argue that you and your dad had one more person that knew what they were doing compared to these two

You will love it. I put my Mossberg Patriot .308 in to an MDT LSS Gen 2 with a folding stock adapter and an SCS buttstock. That brought the Patriot to an average of 1 MOA after 60 rounds of heat. And just recently, I put my TC Compass II in an Oryx, the sister company to MDT. In fact, the shipping info comes from an MDT email. To me, chassis are so great precisely because they are adjustable. And the metal frame is superior to any other kind of bedding.

I gave a thumbs down 👎 and unsubscribed after watching this. Putting the crosshairs on fellow RU-vidrs isn’t a good thing unless it’s planned out. What was the goal of this video?

@@ahandgrenade3640 that's what it is. "You dont use it, you lose it" Wasn't a sniper but I was a DM. No way i could shoot as well as i did years ago. Most combat arms guys get out they stop training completely.

@@BenjaminAdams23 killing people overseas is not “doing something for this country,” and killing more people isn’t doing more.

Lunkers wasn't a sniper either he was a DM, taking a ten day course and happening to be on a patrol or two that contained attached SOF members or vice versa makes him saying "I was a sniper in the Army, with special operations" factual accurate, but also is purposefully worded to be misleading and misrepresent his service record in order for attention and clout on social media... Also I feel he and other supposed "friends" drug Nick into the spotlight to hopefully gain attention based on Nick's service and accomplishments, as he does not seem to enjoy the spotlight or attention, rather was drug into it in exchange for the promise of future financial security... Pretty disgusting behavior with Nick being nothing more than a hopeful cash cow for them, while accidentally putting himself at possible risk of collateral damage to his own reputation in the process 😠

Bc Nick was never a sniper and doesn't really know much about it, he was a designated marksman, he tells the internet he was a sniper bc it makes him money and fame

@@andrewstoll4548 it was blowing from the 3-5 o’clock position; the up drafts at that range are due to its location in a canyon. I had close to a mil of additional elevation when it was gusting hard.

@@IMPACTSHOOTING don’t you have a video title 33 kills? Unless you consider other mammals not living. Beside that my point on bringing his confirm kills is to show case his skills when he was in active duty and Nick states he retired from the army due to PTSD which led to his drinking also affecting his shooting skills. Yes this video puts him in a bad light but knowing his background is also important on knowing why his skills are lacking. That’s like judging you on how you would be as a cyclist now without knowing your background

Pretty sure the answer to "you don't know what they were thinking" is cocaine. 😄. I've been around people on cocaine many times in my life and when watching this video back when lunkers posted it, the first thought that came to my mind was that these guys seem like they're on coke.

@@710vet3 They're both snipers.

@@MF-Rell what!!? Yea scrap what, I said this guy won.

Well the real misconception is the military works with what it has. If u shoot relatively well ur doing better than most green recruits. Not everyone is a marksman sniper assassin. It's really more about tactics that actual marksmanship and knowing ur limitations. But yes I noticed he couldn't shoot that well in another video.

@@djl5634 That is something I also learned. The standard expected of green recruits is 4 MOA. This translates into being able to hit the enemy at 100 yards, or CQB. Can the new guy hit a 18 inch wide by 20 in tall target from house to house? While moving, possibly off hand. Guys who shoot better than that can become DM. Others specifically want the work of long range combat. Well, being a sniper is not actually about splitting the X at 1,000 yards which can certainly be the goal of various competitions. A big part of the sniper activity is getting into closer positions and you do that by being a sneaky bastard. Less distance equals greater accuracy. According to Cleckner, and others, such as Milton, a retired SEAL sniper and instructor, average range of engagement was less than 800 yards. Sometimes, quite a bit less than that. And the object was not the x ring. The object was to place 220 grains in center of mass of an 18x20 in target. For example, Cleckner would use a .300 Win Mag. Dial elevation from DOPE and hold left or right edge of target into the wind. And this is while an enemy is actively seeking you and shooting at you and trying to kill you. Same which can be said for Sgt. Nicholas "The Reaper" Irving, 3rd Ranger Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment. For a number of tours. Do these guys talk like PRS dudes? Probably not. Do the talk the way they did in service? Maybe, maybe not. Often is a the case where shooter and spotter develop their own lingo. No rule says that you cannot. And are you going to tell these guys no? Just remember, they are retired paid killers. It was the job to end lives per orders. And do so quickly, and efficiently, and don't take all day. And I think that is going to be just different than maybe an F-Class match with a 16 pound rifle designed to sit on the ground on a hill under a shade poking holes in paper. I could be wrong. I am not a veteran, certainly not a competitive shooter.

Agreed, I would also add that he seemed very butthurt when he stated the number of followers Lunkers has. This stinks of jealousy. This video was terrible to watch once.

That’s a really good channel. Caution: rabbit hole ⚠️

It's very obvious a lot of you guys who are competitive shooters & were not in the Military don't really understand what being a Sniper is. Being a competitive shooter is very very very easy when you're not being shot at or having to deal with the stress of hitting a target that is about to unload a RPG on your ground team. Shooting is really only like 30% of what Snipers actually do, there's a lot more to than just sitting on top of a hill in a gilly suit in pristine weather conditions & firing at an inanimate target.

If you didn't make him feel less, then you made him feel more and my man, that is the most honorable thing you could have done. Long distance High 5...for allowing a man to keep his dignity.

This is clearly two people that can’t zero a rifle. The splash of a .308win at 300 yards is easily evident in the PIP frame on my tiny cell phone. Through the glass is a cake walk. A scout sniper should not be missing static targets within 700 yards with a .308. Especially the Fed GMM loading that he was using at the end of the vid. I can understand being reliant on the spotter for range and atmospherics, but known ranges are simple with any decent training (like a 2 day precision rifle course). He should be center plate by 3rd shot, and all hits after that from prone off a bag.

@@christopherfreeman3095 You're absolutely correct, and I remember watching this video and thinking, "Is this a joke? Are they high???" Lunkers has always rubbed me in a wrong way as being overly cocky. His Ukraine War coverage is super cringe. You'd think he believes he's Norman Schwarzkopf. I'm pretty sure he wasn't a military strategist in Afghanistan. In fact I'm positive of it, but you wouldn't know it from watching him talk about predictions of BOTH Ukraine's and Russia's entire military game plans. He's always been overly cocky and unless you're Nick, you're not half the rifle shot he is. He just assumes how great he is out of the gate compared to everyone. Now that they're all teaming up with Demo-Ranch and Kentucky Ballistics, you get a chance to see them on multiple weapons platforms and it's rare Lunkers shows up. Nick also looks uncomfortable with most weapons outside of a bolt gun and an AR variant. I can't dispute Nick having a large number of confirmed kills in combat, and while that's admirable, it doesn't make you the best marksman in the world. The guys by the truck in this video are thinking exactly what we are: Wow...this is embarrassing. It's like 2 monkeys f***ing a football. I got into shooting at a very young age. I've competed in 3 gun, intermediate, and large caliber long range shooting competitions and get togethers all over Kentucky, my home state of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee, and there's some Country Boys out here that'll embarrass you with a 7mm mag deer rifle. We've pushed out past 1000 with .408, 6.5, .338, and some obscure loads and have pulled off some pretty great shots in conditions that were far from optimal, and I'd never make a video this pretentious. This, and his military commander role-play, have shown me all I needed to see. Not to sound like lunkers, but at 300, all I need is my 15" AR with an eotech and a magnifier to get hits like this. I'm far from the only one that can do it too.

@@sykwookiee By not acting like a child with a new toy, It's a weapon a tool to be used as such. He has said many things online that make me think he knows very little about shooting. I don't give a crap how many men he's killed, Chris Kyle killed and when he came home he didn't brag about his kills he quietly lived his life helpinng anyone he could. That man has my respect 100%. If you read my comment I also served but I'm not trying to get paid off my service to the country, we all took the same oath. Please understand I'm not talking crap about him as a person don't know him like that but as a shooter he needs to get some training apparently from someone other than the US Piet has a class he would probably even give the young man a discount.

Ok grandpa whatever you say

Agreed- ive never shot competitively nor was in military- but myself and any of my dis-functional buddies would have no problem sighting in a 308 at 300 yrds with less than four shots- and that’s if we had just picked up a rifle we had never used and slapped a scope we bought on way there from walmart on the clearance isle- we don’t know shyt about mils or MOA either- we just know how to shoot- we give corrections to each other in target sizes and rarely at that- because we know how to use our own eyes and coordinate our own corrections- and not to mention we rarely miss-

Y’all do realize military guys mostly do a job rather then specifically use their weapon as much. Any competition shooter could probably out shoot mil guys, as a veteran that’s not our biggest point of focus, being proficient at completing the mission is the case. And for snipers their main job is recon not necessarily actually using their sniper, many don’t even use it when they go out on missions

@@Jrod110 Bull. I'm former military myself, and I absolutely had to be proficient with the various weapons systems that I used. These guys don't know basic shooting fundamentals, but they're passing themselves off as elite. It's embarrassing

Language wise, as active duty we definitely use a curse word every so other word in our sentences when we are bullshitting with our buddies

@@M240D nick Irving is passing himself off as elite? He’s retired and he knows it. His time serving and sniping is over and he’s not claiming to be son deity. Relax bud

yeah no doubt. shooting, especially accurately, is a perishable skill.

Nicholas was never a sniper, and never had a spotter, he was a designated marksman he shot between 200 and 600 yards, he just says he was a sniper on the internet for clout

exactly, This is dude doing the breakdown is taking their play time and screw around time way too serious. ITS CRINGEY WATCHING THIS DUDE REACT TO THIS AND TAKE IT SERIOUS

@@dontbetreadin4777 exactly

What IG was it. I want to read his responses… or did he even respond?

I have seen newbies shoot better than that!

Pretty much everything this "reaper" guy does he comes off as silly and I mean I respect the work he's done but in the civilian world he comes off just as if he doesn't know anything.

exactly theyre screwing around and this dude is taking it SUPER SERIOUS.

And yet he is in the ARMY RANGERS sniper hall of fame... lmaooooo I would expect a vet to know that

@@MrSwccguy that’s what confuses me so much. I can’t help but wonder if this was a troll video because he really does sound like he doesn’t know what he is doing. BTW, just because I am a vet doesn’t mean I know everything. I served in the Navy from ‘92-‘99. So not knowing something is not out of the realm of possibilities.

@@chrisfranks2215 you ain't wrong man. But I suspect it was part troll because if you watch him on demolition ranch he's like that too sometimes.

@@chrisfranks2215 they're just goofing around and being careless and casual about it. Pretty dure he wasn't shooting like this while on duty 🤔

@@crystallava5002 they're not goofing around. They're bragging and congratulating each other, its fucking cringe. Its obvious to everyone else, i dont get why some prefer to lick boots.
