Shooting my new Steyr Scout in .308 paired with the Vortex Razor HD Gen III 1-10x24 FFP. A very light rifle: Jeff Cooper's ideal scout rifle concept comes to life with this one. I don't much care for the forward scope idea, but I think optics have come far that a light 1-10x 35mm tube LPVO really makes this rifle shine. Honestly, I'd be more on board with the forward scope if this thing had a charger bridge for stripper clips, but a backup magazine in the stock works too :)

That said, it's not as smooth as I'd have hoped: running the bolt on M80 ball seems to be fairly sticky so I'm not sure if it's the ammo or the gun needs breaking in.

Shooting my new Beretta BRX1 straight pull rifle in .308 paired with the certifiably neat Burris Eliminator IV scope. My first and only Beretta firearm, but it's becoming a quick favorite of mine as quickly as you can run this bolt!

Shooting my new Benelli M3 semi/pump action shotgun to the range. I've made mine as close to the Riot Shotgun from Resident Evil 4 (2005) and it is an absolute pleasure to shoot! The ability to switch between semi and pump is merely a flick of a lever at the front of the fore end.

Unfortunately no slomo for a while as my Sony RX100 VI seems to have died :(

Shooting my new (old) Winchester 1917. A hefty, but balanced rifle that tames the .30-06 cartridge quite well. A treat to shoot!

Posting the full footage of the IV8888 Range Day from back in October. Definitely lots of fun and met a ton of people. Would definitely go again.

My buddy @farmontherange invited me out for a quick 40 minute flight around the SC Tri-county area in his Cessna 172 Skyhawk so I took my new DJI Osmo Pocket 3 out for the trip. Thanks David!

Also, Merry Christmas to you all!

Shooting unsupported my PTR 9CT at 300 yards

Sorry for the obnoxious editing, but this is what's popular these days and YT pretty much killed my channel. Full Video : https://youtu.be/vr0Pe1oKko0

Got a little recording in with my new 24" AUG HBAR barrel and Steyr Scout. Unfortunately, the AUG scope is sighted in for the 20" barrel; throwing on the 24" barrel threw the zero about 2 feet left so it was a little hard to keep shots on target when silhouette is buried behind the left side of the donut of death. Still made a few hits though!
The little Sony RX100 VI is dying at this point so I couldn't get those last four shots through the Scout on target camera, but the pings speak for themselves (especially with my buddy @pcckwy 's Rugged Surge762 suppressor!). I'll get some real footage soon hopefully

I'm truly sorry for making this.

I got a little bored lol. The Sjögren isn't in RE4, but it would've been awesome if it were :P

I got to meet a few folks at Steyr Arms and Brian Marshall, the lead instructor at Steyr Academy and aug historian, at the IV8888 2023 Range Day! They let me shoot some neat guns such as a .300blk AUG, a 24" HBAR full auto AUG, and my personal grail gun, the 9mm conversion kit AUG. I recorded a few other folks at the event enjoying the AUGs and myself with a badly placed tripod. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to shoot the G62 or the Scouts, but I own a Scout and anyone interested will be seeing one on the channel soon(ish) ;)

I also got to hear some good news at the end of the video I'd like to share :)

0:00 - Intro
0:40 - 9mm AUG
1:24 - .300blk AUG
1:31 - 24" HBAR AUG
1:46 - Some good news :)

I didn't record it, but they ARE working on bringing a .300blk barrel to the market, but need to work out the kinks before officially releasing it. Steyr is really doing great work!

Shooting my new (old) Standard Arms Model G in .35 Remington. Released in 1906, Standard Arms holds the trophy for having the first gas operated, semi-automatic rifle designed specifically for the civilian market. However, despite the sleek lines and gorgeous engravings, this rifle was plagued with design flaws the company tried to appease customers by releasing the Model M, a pump action only version, to little success that would eventually spell the death of the company in 1920.

*That said, this firearm is no exception to the faults that plagued its tenure in the early 1900s:
- The operating rod head broke and allowed the captured recoil spring to release causing the rifle to remain open. This was fixed, but...
- The operating rod threads into the extension in the bolt while under spring tension; not fully threading the rod has caused the threads to strip. Until this fixed, the firearm is no longer in an operational condition. Woops!

Some short footage with and without the brake installed

Thanks Justin for filming!

Shooting my new Remington R51 Gen2. When Remington brought back the Pedersen action back in 2014, I was ecstatic. At least, until the terrible reviews started pouring out on the internet. When Remington brought it back, I was curious but weary like most and did not pick one up until a month ago when one came up for a price I couldn't refuse.

No modifications was made to the gun itself besides racking the slide constantly while stuck at home with nothing much else to do for a week or two and installing some aftermarket wood grip panels, but the biggest fix I found was to cut about 3/8th inch off the legs of the follower. I noticed the full length of the follower would cause the 7th cartridge to nosedive and make it difficult to charge the gun from a full magazine on a closed slide. Cutting the follower allowed some space for the cartridge to move and thus aided in loading a full magazine.

In the end, I share a takedown and reassembly video. This thing has a lot of sharp edges, but the method I use to take down the original Model 51 avoids a lot them. I hope it helps other R51 owners on handling this firearm.

Felt I needed to dust off the ol' Vepr 12!
