I definitely would like to see how it does with other ammunition. I honestly think it can shoot better than what it did. I hope it can and does anyways. If not, even with all the bells and whistles, not for that kind of money. Not when you can get a budget rifle as you have and shoot 1/2” groups. Appreciate the video and time you put into it.
Adam, your methods are sound, meticulous, and top-notch. You're showing the rest of us the right way to sight in! I'm sure I speak for most of us out here in audience-land: we appreciate your expertise! Thank you!
I found the best round for my rifle is Federal 168 grain Match Grade. It was all over the target with 4 other "match grade" ammo in varied projectile weights. I had no idea rifles could be so sensitive to ammo. Even tho my rifle is not fed by a magazine I found the magazines for my AR10 a convenient way to carry ammo for the bolt gun. Keeps it clean and organized. Just push rounds out with my thumb as needed. I passed the FBI sniper course with my early Savage 110 series rifle and without a $2000 scope. It outshot an experienced, highly pissed off, FBI sniper next to me on the line with his beautiful Remington 700. He had the best of everything. Pitched a little fit, he did. It was my first time on a sniper course with only sighting rounds thru the Savage. From what I have read and experienced the Savage is highly underated. Just remembered, a special operations friend had an amazing adjustable trigger made for my rifle. You push forward on the trigger and a set trigger pops out. Looks like the Accutrigger. It is adjustable down to " breath on it". Which, of course, would never be called for but that trigger changed the rifle dramatically as Savage for some reason sent the rifles out with like a 7 to 9 pound non adjustable trigger. Your finger would go numb waiting for it to "drop". Something at the time about accidental discharges. Someone needs to reproduce this amazing trigger. I have never seen another one like it. I have the the main trigger set at 3.5lbs and the set trigger at less than 1lb. There is no movement of the rifle at that pull. You touch the set trigger, gun fires. No take up. rick in Tennessee. Who Dude, keep up the good work.
My CZ527 has a trigger like that. They call it a “set trigger”. Like you said, 3-4(or less) normal break. Then under 1lb when you push it forward into “set trigger” mode. Don’t know why they stopped using them? Maybe a safety issue?
@@JohnJohnson-qb9zh I was kinda thinking the safety angle but thot they would still be common among the sniper/precision crowd. Like I said mine was built for my rifle by someone in special operations so since they can have pretty much whatever they want the set triggers are still in use. Thanks for takin the time to read and reply.... rick in Tennessee. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". Edmund Burke.
when you change your optic, try tapping the top of the dial you just changed. It helps to settle the scope down. My dad had been doing that all his life and taught it to me (even on new scopes). I've seen a new scope turned to a specific spot, look through it, tap it a few times with your finger, look back and see that it's moved again.
I purchased 2 athlon ares btr 4.5-27 last summer and man I'm impressed. Going to be switching all my optics to athlon. Price point is great and they are better than vortex and I'd put it against Leupold all day. Great customer service as well.
I've had really good luck with the federal premium 165 grain barnes vortex loads out of my .308. I've recommended them to friends and they've had same results. Maybe worth you trying them also.
Great video Adam you've definitely got you a keeper I don't what brand target camera your using but that thing is pristine I've been looking at them online and there not cheap great job keep em coming
Alrighty, now I have about 200 rounds through mine in 6.5 creedmoor. Being new to rifle shooting I’ve got to say, this is just too much fun. I am literally stacking shots on rope of one another consistently at 100yds. It’s taken me patience and repetition but I’ve got it worked out now. I’ve shot a variety of ammo between 120 and 147 grain. Nothing stands out as bad but I just seem to layer them on one another better with 140 and 143 grain. I’ve shot all sorts of Hornady loads (match, hunter, super performance, whitetail), HSM tipping point, and Sellier & Bellot. Today I shot an entire box of sellier & bellot 140 grain soft point (the most economical of all those tried) and with a 10 shot group it’s less than 1/2 inch with 5 shot literally making one larger hole. I had 1 flyer out of over 100 rounds shot today which I have to imagine is my fault. Even that was still within an inch of the rest of the grouping. I shot cold barrel and hot barrel as well. I might even say it seemed to tighten up as the barrel was warmer. Anyhow, that’s my update, couldn’t be happier!
Interesting. I still haven’t shot mine (6.5 creedmoor w/viper gen II 5-25x50. I also added a 419 hellfire match brake. It does say to shoot 50 rounds first as “break-in” then sight it in. I have 3 different 6.5 rounds to use for general grouping w/first 50 then I’ll sight it in with the one that grouped best initially. Also - totally agree on action, super smooth, and that trigger is absolutely phenomenal out of the box.
@@WHOTEEWHO how’d you attach the bag rider in the stock? Mine wouldn’t attach and ultimately ruined ruined the mlock nut/plate. My arca rail attached easily to the mlock but not the bag rider. Seemed the stock was too thick for the lock nuts to turn as they should.
Nice timing. Two days left for someone to win one of these in their giveaway bundle. Glad to see one in a video with usage and opinion to go with it. I thought it looked like a pretty nice rifle.
Nice review! I got mine in 6.5 I had much better results. Three different factory loads shooting 5 shot groups measuring .6 -.8 MOA. Have close to 500 rounds through mine now.
Nice review. I'm betting that this rifle has more potential. I think either the barrel will need to be broken in, or you'll need to experiment with other loads and bullets to see what this barrel prefers. For the price the Remington CoreLokt Tipped is good ammo and definitely a step up from the regular CoreLokt or other brands' basic hunting ammo but its still not quite a high end hunting bullet or even match bullet for that matter.
I absolutely LOVE the look of that rifle!! Although it’s not shooting too badly, I’d love to see if you could do even better with different ammo. There’s no rifles here in my area yet, but I’m seriously considering one when they arrive here! Let’s see some more pursuit tests! 👍🏼😁
You should open a jacket up and lay it on the table to catch your brass. I'd like to see you review a Benelli auto rifle and a Browning BAR. Looked at some at the gun shop .felt nice and lite for 🦌 hunting.
Rifle looks nice. Saw msrp $1899.99. From the looks and performance from this video, i feel it's worth it. Might grab one in the summer when family things calm down.
I’ve found in 1-10 twist 308 with barrels under 20’’ to be a bit finicky with ammo that’s what I would accept with factory it’s also why I roll my own to get rid of all the factory problems with ammo interesting rifle may just have to handle one to see for myself another great video 👍
My best groups with 30 cal was with speer 168 or maby 165 it was 20 plus years ago but a rem 30 -06 with a glassed action and a floated barrel with my reloads and that bullet would consistently shoot golf balls at over 140 yards and shot .5 and less 5 shot groups I broke pieces of clay pigeons at l25 to 160 yards and shot the neck off of a budwiser bottle with the shiny neck ribbon at 100 yards thos rifle is a one of a cind he is still hunting with the same 100 bullets that i loaded for him when we were done sighting it on amd hasn't ever turned the scope it's a leopold vx1 in 3 -9 by 40 and he doesn't move it off of 5 power most times and he gets his buck every year the rest of the time he bow hunts
Just wondering if you thought of making more ranking videos? Wtw top five (blank) 20xx. Kinda played out, but you have lots of content. They are addictive and you can use highlights from other videos. I personally would like to see a WTW top five budget pew video for 2023. Seems like there are too many good options. Thanks
I’ld like to see you shoot a naked out of the box without the muzzle attachment. As someone else mentioned another grain weight bullet. I also own a stag arms. Fantastic rifle.
@WHOTEEWHO I’d like to see you run some Norma Bond-Strikes thru it. After seeing your video using the Norma, I ran some thru my Tikka. Yes, it loves them. Thanks for content.
i had that scope,, they are great for sure! (& no european price!) thats a nice rig! throw a bag of shot on your sled & it won't jump in the air like it did here.. (you need to try a scope level)
get some sandbags for the rest - you will get better results handloading - v likely - we have yet to see a real tack driver - you should try some 200yd shots too possibly if you have the space
Not sure about your take on physics but I know that in my experience a larger objective lens and tube is brighter in all conditions and magnifications. That's just my experience in 50 years of hunting.
I think this rifle either doesn't like this ammo or maybe needs a few rounds for break in. I have seen you shoot such great groups I don't think you are having a bad day at the range.
WTW says they are 2 inches apart. Then at 100 his first hit is almost always about 2 inches low. I don't use a fancy tool for bore sighting. I just remove the bolt and set up the rifle so I can look down the barrel at a target at about 25 yards. Once I get the target centered in the barrel, I look through the scope and adjust the scope to the target. Depending on how stable the rifle is, this may take a few minutes. I then shoot at 25 yards to check how close I am, then if close I go to 100. If not a few adjustments to get the scope on at 25 then go to 100. I've used this method for years. This works with any gun that you can remove the bolt and look through the bore. On the few guns this can't be done with I then shoot at just a few yards at a very large target, to see where it hits then while holding the gun firmly I adjust the scope so the cross hair align with the bullet hole. Then move this larg target out to 25 or 100 to shoot and adjust the scope. This is much cheaper than whatever bore sighting tool you can buy.

I stop by a lot; just don't always have time to comment. I need to do that more often.@@WHOTEEWHO

That barrel should tighten up as it breaks in. I would be happy with those groups for out of the box accuracy. Thanks for showing it off.
Thanks for watching
I've been singing the praises of Athlon for years. That ETR will be my next scope from them.
You consistently educate me . As a Brooklyn guy growing up, there is not much hunting or pistol shooting. Thanks for your efforts. I 🙏💯👍😎
Thanks for watching Peter!

I am a fan
Pretty soon these rifle optics are going to be the size of the Hubble space telescope.
I've had really good luck with the federal premium 165 grain barnes vortex loads out of my .308. I've recommended them to friends and they've had same results. Maybe worth you trying them also.
Your reviews are the best!!! Always honest

I love Stag arms. I have an ar 15 from them Looking forward to this review
Great video Adam you've definitely got you a keeper I don't what brand target camera your using but that thing is pristine I've been looking at them online and there not cheap great job keep em coming
Thanks for watching. Just a cheap Canon right up on the target
@WHOTEEWHO thanks for the info
Hey nice video I am kinda new to the channel and I love the rimfire videos and I was thinking you should do a 17 wsm video

Love that scope, and that sled. Can't wait to see how it goes on the longer range :)
Thank you for bring it back the paper plates targets. Your set up is dope!
That ammo is good for me😊
I think a similar stock design would be great for a Savage Impulse straight pull
Nice review! I got mine in 6.5 I had much better results. Three different factory loads shooting 5 shot groups measuring .6 -.8 MOA. Have close to 500 rounds through mine now.
Awesome
As usual great video ol buddy
🙏🙏🙏
You always keep it real my friend 👍
I live in and grew up in Cheyenne, WY! I was super excited to see this video pop up!
Awesome!

In all my 30 caliber rifles, weather it’s my 308,300 Win mag, or my 300wsm, all three seemed to favor 165 grain bullets
I am a fan of Althon also hard to beat for the price
Athlons are top shelf.
With such consistent accuracy, this rifle has the makings to be a very accurate rifle.
Stay tuned
Was waiting for this one!!!!
I absolutely LOVE the look of that rifle!! Although it’s not shooting too badly, I’d love to see if you could do even better with different ammo. There’s no rifles here in my area yet, but I’m seriously considering one when they arrive here! Let’s see some more pursuit tests! 👍🏼😁
I checked their site just prior to your video , nice products and like the ar platform too !
You should open a jacket up and lay it on the table to catch your brass. I'd like to see you review a Benelli auto rifle and a Browning BAR. Looked at some at the gun shop .felt nice and lite for 🦌 hunting.
I feel like stag has confidence in their break in procedures. Meaning their guns probably tighten up after 50-100 rounds.
Rifle looks nice. Saw msrp $1899.99. From the looks and performance from this video, i feel it's worth it. Might grab one in the summer when family things calm down.
Ya hooooow I’ve been waiting for this one. Thank you
More soon!
Thanks again
Receiver reminds of the French Mas 49/56.
I know you like your CoreLokts, but on a .308 Win with only an 18“ barrel I‘d try the Barnes 130 Grain TTSX
The Hubble Telescope 4.5 x 30 . Scope has to add weight to the set up .
Only 2lb 4oz! 😂
That first shot was sweet! Enjoy that weapon!
I like these rifles, and I'm looking hard at this one.

I’d love to see groups with and without the can on the front even go as far as a brake Also. See if you gain or loose accuracy.
Good looking rig
Always try different ammo and different grain bullets. Befor you choose your ammunition.
I get absolutely great groups out of the 178 grain horandy precision hunter
I’ld like to see you shoot a naked out of the box without the muzzle attachment. As someone else mentioned another grain weight bullet. I also own a stag arms. Fantastic rifle.

Why don't you use the Caldwell weight bags with lead shot there's room for 2 on that new DTF think you would be more accurate constantly..
Would love to see how the Precision Hunters group with it.
Awesome Setup. I’d really like to see how it lines the 165gr - 168gr loads.
Coming soon!

Sweet video, thanks brother
Thanks for watching
Sweet set up! Would like to see what you can do with it at 200 to 500 yards. Thanks !
More to come
I think this rifle either doesn't like this ammo or maybe needs a few rounds for break in. I have seen you shoot such great groups I don't think you are having a bad day at the range.
Great video what size are your rings high or extra high
Thanks
I forget but I think I show in the video
👍👍👍 Love it!
My brain is telling me that you're going to find an ammo that that rifle just loves, and you're gonna have you a romance going on there.
Cool stuff! 😀
Looks great how much is it to buy matey xden
Nice barrel, not to temperature sensitive. What is the best accurate .308 you have used? Thanks and all the best,T
Bout time. Athlon makes exceptional optics
What it's the black rod under the barrel, in the front of the chassis?
Pic rail. Can use for bipod
@@WHOTEEWHO thanks, I thought it might flip form as a bipod.
I like wood myself , not aloud silencers in Canada
Nice rifle!
Those look like really nice groups to me, especially on a .308!!
Hey gunman!
Nice gun xden
Try some Federal GMM 168g
cant believe that a savage 110 outshot this
Bring BACK the magnificent model 3 .....
With an 08 Ive had the best luck with 168 gr boolots. Zero luck with 150s. With a 10 or an 11 twist rate
Great looking rifle. Try some different ammo.
It didn’t group as well as the Savage 334?
I'm sure it will with more ammo tests
You make awesome videos. I wish you did 5 shot groups for a little more realiable data.
3x3 groups is reliable enough
Try the EDLX 178 Grn
Nice rifle
Nice bro!!!
Thanks for watching!
Yw sir I really enjoy the content you put out.
Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
On your 10 yard shot, what’s the measurement from the aim to the hit dots??
WTW says they are 2 inches apart. Then at 100 his first hit is almost always about 2 inches low.
I don't use a fancy tool for bore sighting. I just remove the bolt and set up the rifle so I can look down the barrel at a target at about 25 yards. Once I get the target centered in the barrel, I look through the scope and adjust the scope to the target. Depending on how stable the rifle is, this may take a few minutes.
I then shoot at 25 yards to check how close I am, then if close I go to 100. If not a few adjustments to get the scope on at 25 then go to 100.
I've used this method for years. This works with any gun that you can remove the bolt and look through the bore. On the few guns this can't be done with I then shoot at just a few yards at a very large target, to see where it hits then while holding the gun firmly I adjust the scope so the cross hair align with the bullet hole. Then move this larg target out to 25 or 100 to shoot and adjust the scope.
This is much cheaper than whatever bore sighting tool you can buy.

Until you have a few more rounds . I think you have a good one there. 👍🇺🇸
Cheyenne is where Weatherby is now. Hmmm
Try 168 federal gold metal match
What's the length of the barrel l didn't hear you say what it was
With the configuration of that rig I bet it will like the heavier high bc bullets. What twist rate is it running
1:10
Can you try for a 0.95. Great video...
Stay tuned. More to come
That would be great. Just think if you did. Auction the target off with your personalized WHOTEEWHO. LOL...
