Wow. I was just searching UA-cam for budget long range, watched a few vids, and thought I wonder if my boy Overton has any vids on this subject... Not 2 hours ago this was uploaded. Thanks man!
love this! My .308 savage 10 was 750, swfa scope 249 with that same bipod with a dish towel for a cheek rest.. shoot F class @ 300 yards for a couple years with it and smoked many a 10k bench queens on the monthly. pissed off one guy some much next to me he packed up mid tourney and left to never return. I spent all my time working on my loads and ballistics vs fancy gear. Took her out july 4th and she still holds a great group with bergers and Varget.
I have some rifles that are $699 and some rifles, so decked out you could purchase a pre-owned Prius with 4 brand new tires in the upper $14k mark, and when you get into price range its really isn't fun. Pretty much point, aim, hold, and squeeze with linked up bullet drop indicators autohold off and blue tooth kestrel custom built ammo. Then you take that $699 rifle with a $15-1600 scope on it, build and work up a couple of load variations, and test how far you can stretch that round. I prefer cheaper rifle setup and a challenging shoot day!!
I kinda did the same thing with my Mossberg ATR, 3006 several years back. The stock was very flimsy so I dropped in a length of 1/4-20 all thread in JB weld, glass beded the stock with tainless steel action screw pillars. Cleaned up the bolt action some as well. Puts everything in a dime at 100yrds.
I always love the budget builds. I picked up a model 70 for $500 twenty years ago so I won’t need it but I do enjoy seeing what you can do for very little money.
“Hello, Radio made easy” I just subscribed & will finish this video. As someone who’s lookin to get out there & touch stuff, I really appreciate the attention to detail you go through in this series
that works to I help run some smaller marksmanship classes that focuses on the basics and 9/10 time they need the stock built up those materials are readily available and work great for what we do
These are the videos the haters refuse to watch, I can tell this dude has well over 1000 hours of precision practice. Everything he’s talked about is very knowledgeable and you can tell he’s speaking from experience rather than some shit an old timer had to say (some people take it at face value). Overton certainly doesn’t need my validation but respect no glazing. 🐐🧙🏼♂️🤠
I have the Mossberg Patriot .308 and changed that to an MDT LSS Gen 2 chassis. I have a TC Compass II in .308 that I had used the original stock and for that, I used craft foam, Goda Grip, and some vet tape. The foam and vet tape from Amazon. You can also get it in camo. And I have the Mossberg Patriot Predator Strata in 7 PRC cerakote and I put that in a chassis. My problem with the Mossberg Patriot stocks is that I cannot get enough torque on the rear action screw because they use the mag well as a shim and that is a gap in the rear action screw guide. Put the Patriot in a chassis or even a Boyd's with pillar bedding and you have a 1 MOA or less rifle that will perform, regardless of heat.
I use a microfiber towel to adjust height and “custom” carve a 1/2 a pool noodle for the shape, and use the kings adhesive, duct tape to hold it together. Works like a charm
i think what i like about this is that you can be as creative as you want. You can go out and find nice materials and make a cheek piece or you can do this. Both are gonna work.
this is just the kind vid I was hoping was on the way. I too have made the poor mans cheekwell, just with different material and covered by a $7 sleeve that holds bullets so i don't have to look at the abomination I created
Those Mossberg Patriots are JUNK!!!! I had one in 30-06 couldn't get it to hold a group for shit with multiple different handloads. Got rid of the POS real quick!
I enjoyed his sniper 101 series and was in the middle of going through it and then was put behind a pay wall. Lot of knowledge and value there so I get it.
I get it budget build..Luv it but a cheek riser kit is only $40.00..Rifle no comfortable shooter no shoot regularly..You are one of the few who have emphasized this point..
I couldn't get my mossberg Patriot to shoot sub 3 MOA. It was absolutely terrible. Mossberg refused to fix it. Buy a ruger American and be happier (not super happy though, because trigger sucks, and the sound of the zipper bolt)
If you must decide whether to use your budget for a better rifle or a higher quality duct tape, the choice is obvious. If it ain’t gorilla tape, it’s SHIT!

Wish we had this series 15 years ago lol
Arken is an amazing company. Scopes are tough and precise
Wood shims work great for layering foam. Hdpe foam works amazing. Think crumbly hard foam.
Gotta use acoustic foam, that way it helps quiet the shots while your shooting without ear pro ✅ ..

Great stuff, this is exactly what I've been wanting to learn.
That poor truck hood. You're clearly not a paint guy. 🤣
Ha! I have a stock with gaffer tape and a shop rag. 😎
the nicest part of that rifle is the duct tape
Red Green would be pleased with you.

I am now going to use 1 picatinny to estimate 1 second.... so long Mississippi.
Damn! That was the same High End Cheekwell Mod that I used on my M14 in Iraq in 2004! 😂
rock on
I did this exact thing on my Ruger Precision Rimfire. Ghetto and works
Whatcha think about a Bergura HMR in 6.5 Creed or PRS with a Arken?
Ruger American is a way better budget option over the patriot.
On this episode of the Red Green show…
I get it budget build..Luv it but a cheek riser kit is only $40.00..Rifle no comfortable shooter no shoot regularly..You are one of the few who have emphasized this point..
This is way better and more comfortable than a riser kit. Just not as pretty.
Spent more on the Gorilla duct tape than on the gun itself. 🤣
Dude, less than 2 minutes in, and I'm like LET HIM COOK!!!!!!!!
More like LET HIM TAPE!!!😅😂😅😂😅😂
😅😂😂😂
Curious your thoughts on Savage rifles.
I’d go with a savage 110 for a cheap long range rifle definitely not a mossberg they’re junk you can get a savage 110 for the same price
Or for 100 bucks go to Bradley cheek rest and buy an adjustable cheek rest.
I couldn't get my mossberg Patriot to shoot sub 3 MOA. It was absolutely terrible.
Mossberg refused to fix it.
Buy a ruger American and be happier (not super happy though, because trigger sucks, and the sound of the zipper bolt)
So, ordering a universal cheek riser kit w/spacers, from Victor Company, exceeds the budget?
No, it's just dumb. Cause you'll be moving to a chassis soon anyway.
I think I would've gone with a CVA or Ruger but that's just me.
Yeah it does not matter
What's your take on a Howa m1500 hogue in 6.5cm? Those things are dirt cheap as well but hear good things all over the place.
quality control is lacking severely. But that's kinda par.
Guy sounds like vice grip garage
Gotta love gorilla tape
It's time for you to try x i just searched for you with no results
Nice
If you must decide whether to use your budget for a better rifle or a higher quality duct tape, the choice is obvious. If it ain’t gorilla tape, it’s SHIT!
Just buy a Bergara. It’s cheap and super accurate
are you literally retarded?

@@OvertonWindex I’m anxiously waiting over here!
Would it not be worth to try mounting the scope with something other than a mount meant for the AR platform
It’s not meant for the ar platform… don’t be so dumb. And no. This is the mount we want.
@@OvertonWindex well then, might as well go ahead and throw on the GBRS Hydra mount while you’re at it

… no.
@@OvertonWindex why did you use a cantilever mount on the build? Just curious bc I only use them on my ARs. For bolt guns I just use the lowest rings that will clear the objective lens
It's not a cantilever, it's a one piece. Helps to strengthen the receiver and to keep the rings from being canted, twisted or bowed.
@@chrischavez3313cantilever mounts are a form of a one piece mount, I use both. Learn the differences.
