Range report. Mine is the 6.5 Creedmoor billet version. It ran perfectly. And it was extremely accurate with two different bullets. I reload. And had some reloads left over from another AR that I got rid of. Was not expecting for things to go so smoothly. I also installed a Ambi magazine release. Had to remove the bolt release. But they use a thread bolt instead of a pin. So it was simple to install. Thanks for the video. I was going to go with something else. But I’m so happy with this rifle.

To be honest with you, all of my rifles including my national match don’t shoot Gold Medal Match as good as regular ammo with the same bullet weight. I don’t quite know why the GMM is supposed to be the standard. Back before ammo prices went nuts GMM was relatively cheap compared to other ammo and I didn’t buy it very often.

@@OFFICIALUND What he found in his review of the Aero was hardly damning stuff. Mine has held up fine but I also haven't ran that many rounds through mine consecutively plus I assembled mine myself and put an adjustable gas block on.
I look at ammo so different now, coming from firearms and then getting into air guns. The ability to fine tune velocity and pick from an incredible amount of bullet grains, it just feels like you form a bond with your guns. lol I really love being able to fine tune, takes a lot of time, but it is satisfying in the end.
I looooooove airguns I was heavy into firearms and then had gotten in trouble one night out drinking been paying taxes for rights I don't have ever since but one thing I'm glad about it shifted my focus into other things like the air guns now I have big bores can hunt and do all the fun stuff plus not buying guns with every extra $ I have multiple nvg and thermal devices for airgun hunting once my rights are restored I'm on a whole other level when I re enter that world
A couple of weeks ago I saw that PSA has A1 and A2 uppers finally, too. They have brought so much great stuff to the market at great prices over the past few years, it’s almost unbelievable
Wow. I wanted one but was concerned with first gen PSA products. That accuracy is phenomenal. This certainly jumps up a few rungs on my want list. Thanks for the first real review on the gun out there Tim!
I will echo other comments...PSA is killing it. Just bought a Sabre 13.7 from them...unbelievable the things that rifle has on it out of the box for the money.
I carried the M110 for a few years, including an Iraq deployment. I found it to be superior to the M24 in pretty much every way other than comfort (hard to beat a Monte Carlo style stock). Using 175 gr. M118LR I never shot more than .5 MOA. Our initial range had us easily hitting 8" gong targets at 850 meters. This was in no small part due to the excellent TMR reticle inside the MK4 LRT optic since the crosshairs didn't actually touch in the middle making it possible to see targets that were smaller than the etched reticle lines. On the old M3A optic, a man sized target would just about disappear at 850 meters. This of course, made shots past that distance quite challenging, and luck always played a part. With the M110 however, 1000 meter shots were almost routine, and first round hits at 1100 became commonplace, though still quite challenging. Being a hardcore bolt gun fan, I was NOT looking forward to the M110 until that first range day. After that, I had zero interest in the bolt action rifles...until the XM2010.
I'll maintain my stance, this is no KAC equivalent. The SR-25 has other things going on under the hood that this thing doesn't. I will say this though, I've been watching PSA for a very long time. I've got a couple old guns built from their early parts. I can tell you I wasn't happy with their stuff back then, minus the 20" upper I got with the FN barrel. That barrel was awesome. Where they were then and where they are now are two totally different places. They've really listened, gotten better, tried to innovate, and they deserve some praise for what they've accomplished. Neat to see what they've done with this rifle and its cool to see that they' seemingly have it pretty dialed. Is the SR-25 worth the money, not for most people. I've seen them go for $8-12k. As a collector, If I had the money I'd shell it out for a M110k1 clone. This would serve most people just fine and doesn't hurt the wallet nearly as much.
That Bug-a-salt rifle in the background is the star of the show! It's worth every penny. Flies,spiders,roaches, wasps, or any insect is no match for this bad boy!
That accuracy is impressive! Grouping just as good as my Hk Mr762 at 1/3 the price. Its a good time to be alive in the gun community. Some real killer affordable firearms have been hitting the market as of late
Very impressive, only down side is now that this video is out they won't likely be in stock for a while. PSA is really doing a great service by providing good and great guns at reasonable prices to keep patriots well armed.
This is the fourth review i watched on this gun and you are the only one who's give n praise so far. Everyone I've seen so far has been having issues with feeding, bolt not catching on empty, and failing to cycle. Some are claiming the gas system is to blame. i really want to buy one but I am glad to have waited for people to do reviews on them. Thank you sir!
I'm with you on this on. I saw m110 sass actual review on it and it was horrible. I know Mac has a sample size of 1 and his could be great, but it's been pretty apparent lately that Mac and PSA have some sort of deal. I remember the good ol days when Mac couldn't be bought. But hey, make that money. It's just hard for me to trust anything he says especially about anything PSA
Went to the PSA website after this just to see what else they made. They have a sale right now where you can pick up a PSA AR-15 for under $500. Absolutely insane. PSA is single handedly saving the gun industry.
awesome review of an Awesome gun. @ 51yr old and never having served, be honest I wouldn't know an M110, form an AR-10. however I can say that PSA m110 Clone is absolutely a beautiful work of art, Kudos to PSA for everything the do for the civilian market! Maybe one day I will be able to buy at least 1 of all of their platforms and clones
Not sure if serious. Bear Creek makes tent stakes shaped like AR-15s. I’ve lost count of how many people show up in forums looking for help getting the BCA to run. As soon as I see BCA, I just opt out. It’s not our job to be their CS department. A close buddy of mine who I helped raise back when he was a young PFC and E-4 (now retired after 20 years of service) said he ran into a guy who used to work at BCA. I had never discussed BCA with him before, so there was no preconceived bias. He said the guy said, “Don’t walk, but RUN if you see anything from BCA.” This is the company that got raided for Immigration and Naturalization Services for whoever they had hired.
Love my PSA! I would also be very interested in seeing these American made 308/6.5 rifles shot side by side to something like the Zastava M77, the Serbian AK chambered in 308. The rifle featured in this video is very tempting on my wallet, but I keep eyeing that M77.
I loved the Zastava M77 and came close to getting one. The ability to modify it was challenging. I also would recommend looking at the Rock River Run Lar8. I saw some on sale for $942.00 in my area. The weight and lack of it's ability to take AR parts made me go with the Ruger SFAR 16" in 308/7.62×51. Tim did an excellent review of the Ruger SFAR in 308. I picked one up on a military base for less than $1100.00. Just my opinion. Good luck in your decision.
My opinion I think anything AK is only good for shooting 7.62x39 any other caliber is best shot out an AR platform,I'm sure for bolt action any caliber should do great, I love my Gen3 PSA-10
This is a great setup and good on PSA for making this happen. My Aero M5 scratches my itch for a 308 gas gun quite nicely, but this is a great option for those looking!
Absolutely love my Aero .308 M5, there were a couple of kinks to work out but that was more the BA barrel coming with a really undersized gas port, once I figured that out and opened it up to max upper limit and put an adjustable block on it for when I shoot it suppressed, with M118LR 175gr SMK HPBTs it’s far more accurate then my abilities allow, I’m getting older and do not have the steadiest hands anymore but I can still shoot 5 shot sub MOA groups with an occasional flyer that’s my fault and not the weapons, this PSA comes in at just a little more then 1/2 of what I have in it, and I topped my M5 with a NF NX8 2.5-20, the money saved by getting the PSA would almost pay for the optic by itself lol
I want one in .308 Ive been looking around for a clone of the M110 and was going to have a AR10 built by GNS Precision. Price is what it would come down to. This sure looks awesome!
Primers blow because your bolt is attempting to extract while pressure is high in the chamber. Gas timing, pressure, bullet speed, gas port length, gas tube length, and bolt carrier gas rings all play into it. Buffer weight can help but not the direct contributing factor.
Have a pa10 in 308. Total with a couple 20 rd mags, shipping, tax and transfer was under 800. I can shoot 1 moa/sub 1 moa groups regularly using federal 150gr sp hunting rounds which I can pick up at Walmart for about 26/20rd box. I can't argue with the results, especially considering I'm still learning how to shoot precision and don't have a good rest set up.
When you can experience multiple 3 shot groups - all well within a Minute, you know this is precise accurat rifle - and for that price hahaha holy cow A FREAKEN BARGAIN - also love the caliber you choosed here - awsome video 10/10
definitely agree with what you said about factory ammo vs hand loads, if you have enough time to tailor a load to a gun you can easily see .25" groups out of a bolt gun. my 6mm gt is a laser beam that's capable of shooting .25" groups consistently whereas I'm not, the gun is capable of shooting better than me
This might be the first time I've seen a big-name UA-camr shoot Sako ammo. I've been slowly accumulating TRG ammo since running across a video from a South African guy who kept gushing about the Scenar progectiles. And hey, I HAVE a Sako...so TRG ammo, out of a TRG rifle, makes sense.
Just keep in mind they sell these uppers with 2 different rail types. Make sure you are getting the one you want. I was very happy with the full rail setup. And yes I already have the gun put together ❤️ 🙌 amazing buy, shot 400 rounds out of the box perfect b4 I started getting any upgrades for it.
I tried to share a link to a video I made about it. Apparently I can't do that... I have a couple videos on my armory Playlist. And I'll have more content with the PA-10 that I got from PSA
PSA is hands down my favorite manufacturer. They might not be on-par with Gucci brands and they might not innovate but they make things no one else is making (in mass) and offer them for a fraction of the cost. And the industry HATES it.
All the features this rifle is pushing just slapped all high end SR25 clones to shame. I just decided to stop dreaming on owning a LMT MARS-H all of a sudden. The PSA M110 Clone is affordable and soon to be seen in the wild! I just might buy one!
I've known that a Sabre was going to be my next purchase for a while now. Brandon from Texas Plinking just posted a video where he bought 2 Sabres one in 6.5 and one in 308 and they both had problems being under gassed so he's had to send them both back. Makes me a little worried but I have faith in PSA. Glad yours is working well. He did have good results as far as accuracy goes, just had issues with both and reliability. Cheers 🤘
Popping primers on factory ammo is a good indicator of an out of spec chamber. I'd be really careful to clean the carbon out of the chamber on that one, especially if you're using a can.
If the chamber is out of spec it should be popping primers on other brands. It doesn't seem like it would be this accurate if it had an out of spec chamber also.
@@actionjksn No, thats not necessarily true. Different manufacturers use different thicknesses of brass, this matters most in the neck area of the cartridge, that's why I mention to be careful of carbon build up. Carbon buildup in the neck of the chamber can cause pressure spikes.
Everyone always knocked Palmetto back when they had issues with their Aks but i stood by them and have an AKV, AK 10.5, an 10.5 AR all going strong.. Also lifetime warranty says a lot about their product.
I agree with the PSA comment. Just bought my first AR-15 on sale for Labor Day. Insanely nice, especially given the price. I was a firearms instructor for my LE department, so always had one to use without buying one. I am strongly considering picking up one of their handguns for my daughter to practice with (11yo, and loves my Glock 17).
Can’t wait for 9 Hole Reviews to snag one of these and show what it can really do. Also, this is a great first look at this rifle, MAC. You’re doing great work too!!
I really want more ppl to give honest feedback cuz I hear a lot of amazing things & a lot of “it broke after 80+ rounds”. I want this to rock everything but we need more feedback.

@@OFFICIALUND What he found in his review of the Aero was hardly damning stuff. Mine has held up fine but I also haven't ran that many rounds through mine consecutively plus I assembled mine myself and put an adjustable gas block on.
PSA makes some great products. I've never had any issues with anything from them and accuracy has always been great.
I look at ammo so different now, coming from firearms and then getting into air guns. The ability to fine tune velocity and pick from an incredible amount of bullet grains, it just feels like you form a bond with your guns. lol
I really love being able to fine tune, takes a lot of time, but it is satisfying in the end.
I looooooove airguns I was heavy into firearms and then had gotten in trouble one night out drinking been paying taxes for rights I don't have ever since but one thing I'm glad about it shifted my focus into other things like the air guns now I have big bores can hunt and do all the fun stuff plus not buying guns with every extra $ I have multiple nvg and thermal devices for airgun hunting once my rights are restored I'm on a whole other level when I re enter that world
A couple of weeks ago I saw that PSA has A1 and A2 uppers finally, too. They have brought so much great stuff to the market at great prices over the past few years, it’s almost unbelievable
yea I ain't interested in a lot of AR's or PSA clones but those A1 and A2 uppers peeked my interest haha
Wow. I wanted one but was concerned with first gen PSA products. That accuracy is phenomenal.
This certainly jumps up a few rungs on my want list. Thanks for the first real review on the gun out there Tim!
I will echo other comments...PSA is killing it. Just bought a Sabre 13.7 from them...unbelievable the things that rifle has on it out of the box for the money.
Pistol not rifle unless you SBR then I stand corrected
I carried the M110 for a few years, including an Iraq deployment. I found it to be superior to the M24 in pretty much every way other than comfort (hard to beat a Monte Carlo style stock). Using 175 gr. M118LR I never shot more than .5 MOA. Our initial range had us easily hitting 8" gong targets at 850 meters. This was in no small part due to the excellent TMR reticle inside the MK4 LRT optic since the crosshairs didn't actually touch in the middle making it possible to see targets that were smaller than the etched reticle lines. On the old M3A optic, a man sized target would just about disappear at 850 meters. This of course, made shots past that distance quite challenging, and luck always played a part. With the M110 however, 1000 meter shots were almost routine, and first round hits at 1100 became commonplace, though still quite challenging. Being a hardcore bolt gun fan, I was NOT looking forward to the M110 until that first range day. After that, I had zero interest in the bolt action rifles...until the XM2010.
I'll maintain my stance, this is no KAC equivalent. The SR-25 has other things going on under the hood that this thing doesn't. I will say this though, I've been watching PSA for a very long time. I've got a couple old guns built from their early parts. I can tell you I wasn't happy with their stuff back then, minus the 20" upper I got with the FN barrel. That barrel was awesome. Where they were then and where they are now are two totally different places. They've really listened, gotten better, tried to innovate, and they deserve some praise for what they've accomplished. Neat to see what they've done with this rifle and its cool to see that they' seemingly have it pretty dialed. Is the SR-25 worth the money, not for most people. I've seen them go for $8-12k. As a collector, If I had the money I'd shell it out for a M110k1 clone. This would serve most people just fine and doesn't hurt the wallet nearly as much.
That Bug-a-salt rifle in the background is the star of the show! It's worth every penny. Flies,spiders,roaches,
wasps, or any insect is no match for this bad boy!
That accuracy is impressive! Grouping just as good as my Hk Mr762 at 1/3 the price. Its a good time to be alive in the gun community. Some real killer affordable firearms have been hitting the market as of late
Sure is a great time for guns... unless you live in illinois 😢
If I recall our (Marines) MK11 had the A1 non adjustable stock. This looks spot on.
.....and it's sold out. Damn it.
Very impressive, only down side is now that this video is out they won't likely be in stock for a while. PSA is really doing a great service by providing good and great guns at reasonable prices to keep patriots well armed.
This is the fourth review i watched on this gun and you are the only one who's give n praise so far. Everyone I've seen so far has been having issues with feeding, bolt not catching on empty, and failing to cycle. Some are claiming the gas system is to blame. i really want to buy one but I am glad to have waited for people to do reviews on them. Thank you sir!
Man look at the PA-10. A little more versatile and less money. Mine has been perfect with all ammo zero malfunction s so far.
I'm with you on this on. I saw m110 sass actual review on it and it was horrible. I know Mac has a sample size of 1 and his could be great, but it's been pretty apparent lately that Mac and PSA have some sort of deal. I remember the good ol days when Mac couldn't be bought. But hey, make that money. It's just hard for me to trust anything he says especially about anything PSA
@@fieldy-8008 We have a great deal! I buy their stuff and they make it. Crazy how that works.
@Militaryarmschannel I'm calling bs on that. Yall have some sort of deal know, it's apparent. I still love MAC
I like your pointer, and 3 shot groups are just fine! If they don’t like it, they can sponsor your ammo. Nuff said
Great review! I'd like to see a video pushing the rifle out to longer ranges!
Great video. Thanks for putting the work in to get this video together. PSA gun reviews are always appreciated.
Went to the PSA website after this just to see what else they made. They have a sale right now where you can pick up a PSA AR-15 for under $500. Absolutely insane. PSA is single handedly saving the gun industry.
awesome review of an Awesome gun. @ 51yr old and never having served, be honest I wouldn't know an M110, form an AR-10. however I can say that PSA m110 Clone is absolutely a beautiful work of art, Kudos to PSA for everything the do for the civilian market! Maybe one day I will be able to buy at least 1 of all of their platforms and clones
PSA has been absolutely CRUSHING IT lately! Much respect. 👍
PSA just makes everything I could want
Between PSA and Bear Creek, You really cant go wrong. When PSA has a "blem" sale, and complete lowers are as low as 129.00,, its never a bad thing.
Not sure if serious. Bear Creek makes tent stakes shaped like AR-15s. I’ve lost count of how many people show up in forums looking for help getting the BCA to run. As soon as I see BCA, I just opt out. It’s not our job to be their CS department. A close buddy of mine who I helped raise back when he was a young PFC and E-4 (now retired after 20 years of service) said he ran into a guy who used to work at BCA. I had never discussed BCA with him before, so there was no preconceived bias. He said the guy said, “Don’t walk, but RUN if you see anything from BCA.” This is the company that got raided for Immigration and Naturalization Services for whoever they had hired.
@@LRRPFco52”tent stakes shaped like AR-15s.” Lol! That was hilarious!
@@LRRPFco52sounds like you have never had an experience with BCA.
Two of the worse gun companies in existence right now.
Love my PSA! I would also be very interested in seeing these American made 308/6.5 rifles shot side by side to something like the Zastava M77, the Serbian AK chambered in 308. The rifle featured in this video is very tempting on my wallet, but I keep eyeing that M77.
I loved the Zastava M77 and came close to getting one. The ability to modify it was challenging. I also would recommend looking at the Rock River Run Lar8. I saw some on sale for $942.00 in my area.
The weight and lack of it's ability to take AR parts made me go with the Ruger SFAR 16" in 308/7.62×51.
Tim did an excellent review of the Ruger SFAR in 308. I picked one up on a military base for less than $1100.00.
Just my opinion. Good luck in your decision.
I had a Serbian-made M77. It wasn't that impressive in the accuracy department.
My opinion I think anything AK is only good for shooting 7.62x39 any other caliber is best shot out an AR platform,I'm sure for bolt action any caliber should do great, I love my Gen3 PSA-10
@@OFFICIALUND I'm listening
This is a great setup and good on PSA for making this happen. My Aero M5 scratches my itch for a 308 gas gun quite nicely, but this is a great option for those looking!
Absolutely love my Aero .308 M5, there were a couple of kinks to work out but that was more the BA barrel coming with a really undersized gas port, once I figured that out and opened it up to max upper limit and put an adjustable block on it for when I shoot it suppressed, with M118LR 175gr SMK HPBTs it’s far more accurate then my abilities allow, I’m getting older and do not have the steadiest hands anymore but I can still shoot 5 shot sub MOA groups with an occasional flyer that’s my fault and not the weapons, this PSA comes in at just a little more then 1/2 of what I have in it, and I topped my M5 with a NF NX8 2.5-20, the money saved by getting the PSA would almost pay for the optic by itself lol
@@louiswolff3251 My minor baubles were BCG related. The Toolcraft bcg was very stiff and issues went away as it wore in.
Thanks for putting out a video showing actual groups!
Our pleasure!
I want one in .308 Ive been looking around for a clone of the M110 and was going to have a AR10 built by GNS Precision. Price is what it would come down to. This sure looks awesome!
Primers blow because your bolt is attempting to extract while pressure is high in the chamber. Gas timing, pressure, bullet speed, gas port length, gas tube length, and bolt carrier gas rings all play into it. Buffer weight can help but not the direct contributing factor.
Thank you PSA for making clones of the icons
Just bought a gen 3 PA10 a few months ago for the purpose of building my own m110, couldn't believe my eyes when the Sabre dropped.
The customer is always the beta tester
Have a pa10 in 308. Total with a couple 20 rd mags, shipping, tax and transfer was under 800. I can shoot 1 moa/sub 1 moa groups regularly using federal 150gr sp hunting rounds which I can pick up at Walmart for about 26/20rd box.
I can't argue with the results, especially considering I'm still learning how to shoot precision and don't have a good rest set up.
I respect that no matter the gun, there’s a Cherry Coke sitting next to him. Man of culture.
When you can experience multiple 3 shot groups - all well within a Minute, you know this is precise accurat rifle - and for that price hahaha holy cow A FREAKEN BARGAIN - also love the caliber you choosed here - awsome video 10/10
Very impressive! This might be my next rifle purchase! PSA is rockin' it!
Tim, you are making me drool. Unfortunately, i just built a 6.5 cr ELR and have to wait before i pick up another toy. Good presentation.
That Sako ammo is ridiculous. .24 MOA out of a semi-auto rifle is crazy
I rarely get that out of my hand loads in my r700. Twice, maybe.
Another clone idea, but this one is a pleasant surprise
I love that PSA did this. Would be more cool if they made or partnered with a company to manufacture a M110 style suppressor to offer with it.
definitely agree with what you said about factory ammo vs hand loads, if you have enough time to tailor a load to a gun you can easily see .25" groups out of a bolt gun. my 6mm gt is a laser beam that's capable of shooting .25" groups consistently whereas I'm not, the gun is capable of shooting better than me
Picking mine up from my ffl after work today!
How is it?
@@okayeasy812 i love it! Accurate, runs well, eats anything you put in It
Itd be nice if they actually get them back in stock
This might be the first time I've seen a big-name UA-camr shoot Sako ammo. I've been slowly accumulating TRG ammo since running across a video from a South African guy who kept gushing about the Scenar progectiles. And hey, I HAVE a Sako...so TRG ammo, out of a TRG rifle, makes sense.
Well, guess I’m sold. I was waiting for videos to make a decision but when Tim shows the proof I won’t argue.
The PSA PA10 🙌 is only $570 because of the saber launch....that's the real story here. The PA10 for $570 is gun of the year IMO 😅
Holy shit!
Where are you seeing that price?
@@trooper6762 IIRC, buy the upper n lower separately for the savings.
Just keep in mind they sell these uppers with 2 different rail types. Make sure you are getting the one you want. I was very happy with the full rail setup. And yes I already have the gun put together ❤️ 🙌 amazing buy, shot 400 rounds out of the box perfect b4 I started getting any upgrades for it.
I tried to share a link to a video I made about it. Apparently I can't do that... I have a couple videos on my armory Playlist. And I'll have more content with the PA-10 that I got from PSA
Didn`t see this one coming, but still, it is awesome :)
I`d love the .308 version.
Fantastic information. PSA keeps impressing me.
Part2 video with this rifle. 600-1000yds shots :). Let it rip!
Psa is building some really cool rifles if I wasn't so AR poor I would pick a few up
PSA is hands down my favorite manufacturer. They might not be on-par with Gucci brands and they might not innovate but they make things no one else is making (in mass) and offer them for a fraction of the cost.
And the industry HATES it.
Wife: I just got an email alert saying there’s been a premature distribution out of Bobby’s college fund.
Clone the MP7 and I'll be impressed.
A semi-auto MP7? Can you think of anything more useless?
@@dudleybrown7030a zip 22 lol
A 10mm Hi Point?
I wish they would release the MP5 clone they have been talking about for a few years.
😂
Would love to see a long-term review of this. Was tempted to get one, but wasn’t sure of the longevity.
I’ve been patiently waiting for your review on this. Nice work briefly summarizing this rifle and performing tests!
my buddy had m110 in marine reserve he absolutely loved and fought tooth and nail to retain having it
PSA puts so many of these slow moving fud companies to shame, when it comes to value to performance for your average concerned citizen.
Wish I could get one but illinois has completely failed its citizens.
Time to move
I believe it's the other way around, friend. People make their own hell.
Governor Flintstone views armed citizens as the enemy.... he goes easy on real criminals though......
Have your county secede.
@OFFICIALUND how so ?
I loved that weapon in the military. Would be a dream to have it at home. Thanks dude.
More power to Palmetto! Keep up the good work!
These days, I don’t hear many complaints from all them bois that used to hate on PSA…
There's not much to hate on anymore!! Most of it was bullshit anyway.

Man! when you said Steiner budget line of scopes you peaked my interest. I love Steiner but my budget is more Swampfox, Riton, and Sig Sauer hahaha
All the features this rifle is pushing just slapped all high end SR25 clones to shame. I just decided to stop dreaming on owning a LMT MARS-H all of a sudden. The PSA M110 Clone is affordable and soon to be seen in the wild! I just might buy one!
The PSA isn't a clone. KAC SR25 and KAC M110 are patented priority designs.
Awesome, thanks for the info and review. I was thinking of buying one, and it's good to know the gun is worth the price tag.
"Global war on terror"
Always needs air quotes
What is crazy is that the "tactical elitists" will still crap on it because PSA. It just shows they don't care about the facts.
Facts such as?
I've known that a Sabre was going to be my next purchase for a while now. Brandon from Texas Plinking just posted a video where he bought 2 Sabres one in 6.5 and one in 308 and they both had problems being under gassed so he's had to send them both back. Makes me a little worried but I have faith in PSA. Glad yours is working well. He did have good results as far as accuracy goes, just had issues with both and reliability. Cheers 🤘
You're showing us this firearm.....And all I can see is a crusader ring and a chain bracelet 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Popping primers on factory ammo is a good indicator of an out of spec chamber. I'd be really careful to clean the carbon out of the chamber on that one, especially if you're using a can.
If the chamber is out of spec it should be popping primers on other brands. It doesn't seem like it would be this accurate if it had an out of spec chamber also.
@@actionjksn No, thats not necessarily true. Different manufacturers use different thicknesses of brass, this matters most in the neck area of the cartridge, that's why I mention to be careful of carbon build up. Carbon buildup in the neck of the chamber can cause pressure spikes.
Everyone always knocked Palmetto back when they had issues with their Aks but i stood by them and have an AKV, AK 10.5, an 10.5 AR all going strong.. Also lifetime warranty says a lot about their product.
we need a 1,000 round update on this
god i love PSA they would make our founding fathers proud
Always enjoy your gun reviews
looks more accurate than the Sig MCX Spear.
I agree with the PSA comment. Just bought my first AR-15 on sale for Labor Day. Insanely nice, especially given the price. I was a firearms instructor for my LE department, so always had one to use without buying one. I am strongly considering picking up one of their handguns for my daughter to practice with (11yo, and loves my Glock 17).
Can't go wrong with the Dagger.
PSA os a company that knows exactly what the commercial market wants.
On the nose!
Got a PSA 308 semi auto and a saber 5.56 they both are awesome 👍🏽
Can’t wait for 9 Hole Reviews to snag one of these and show what it can really do. Also, this is a great first look at this rifle, MAC. You’re doing great work too!!
I really want more ppl to give honest feedback cuz I hear a lot of amazing things & a lot of “it broke after 80+ rounds”. I want this to rock everything but we need more feedback.
PSA just keeps improving there Quality and Lineup
Just wanted to give a shout out to copper customs. Got my Galil ACE gen 1 in 545/39 from them. They were about $1000 less than the insane gunbroker prices and customer service? Yeah outstanding.
