500 Yard Waterbuck Shot with the .260 Rem | John X Part 2

[@philipmeyer636]

do more firearms trust me we all love these videos and I'm sure you love making them I'm not saying you should stop the air rifles but don't be scared of posting firearm related videos/great shot Matt keep up the good work ; )

[@johnrambo9806]

Matt, you are one of the most complete hunters on you-tube. Air rifle or rifle, its all about choosing the proper tool for the job. Kudos to your hunting and marksmanship skills.

[@creative_expressionproductions]

Matt...you are one dangerous marksman!! Properly dangerous. Unbelievable shot! When you called headshot i was like no friggin way! For the record, i have no issues with your firearms ballistics and videos. Air rifle or firearm, bring it Matt!

[@t.j5924]

Solid shot!! Saved 15lbs of meat, and a quick clean kill!! Not to mention, he will look beautiful above the fireplace.

[@98dc2gsr575]

I myself love all of your videos and truly enjoy and appreciate them all. you are 100% the reason I got into long range air gun target shooting as a new hobby. I couldn't be more in love with my new air rifles And I attribute that to you and your fantastic and very informative videos! kudos to you!

[@keeghanp4612]

Love the videos with the 260

[@mg42sd]

Like a surgeon! Nice shot Sir!

[@conniebezuidenhout6844]

It all boils down to... Great shot Matt! You know your gun and you where comfortable with the conditions and the distance... The animal did not feel a thing. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your rifle videos just as much as your air-rifle videos.

[@leebrammall7009]

Man! what a beautiful shot clean and precise, you could track that all the way with that vapour trail, excellent work Matt.

[@2017Toy]

Awesome shot I love the 260 Remington

[@ayazzuberi919]

What a beautiful shot at 500 yards, I enjoyed the video , keep it up.

[@ebrahimsheik8919]

Excellent shooting boet!!🏉🏉 Come up to Natal^...💨💨💨 We've got a lot of game farms here...🕶 Baie baie goed shooting!!💥💥💥

[@therodenthitman]

Nice shot Matt!, keep the videos coming. Both air and powder burners.

[@karamkogan332]

fantastic, I like your videos, the way you clip, views, animal, everything just great, I never felt bored watching your videos 10/10

[@HenkBadenhorst_MM]

Fantastic Shot & Setup!

[@duggydo]

+airarmshuntingsa I really enjoy your videos on the 260 and the equipment details you share. Like you, I enjoy all types of hunting and firearms. Please keep doing exactly as you are!

[@TomGarland]

Outstanding shot Matt... well done mate.

[@freedomofabird]

As per usual.....quality video...and shooting.

[@jeffhall2958]

Matt, I must say . . . excellent shot(s). I use a 270 but I've shot the 6.5 Creed and is by far the best. You've chosen the best down range long rifle! Great vid, great shot, and most importantly, a clean and human kill. Keep up the good work.

[@blazingwarlord5200]

This video should have a lot more views!

[@marnusbezuidenhout2284]

Fantastic shot well done that is pure talent

[@TLRSTheLongRangeShooter]

Well done Matt! You're a force to be reckoned with👌🏼

[@stanley.watson6406]

Very nice shot, as always great videos. Thanks

[@oliviervanweede1842]

Love your videos, Matt! I was wondering whether you are going to make videos on reloading your .260 rem. Keep it up!

[@keitholeniacz7602]

Great Shot Matt, enjoyed the video.

[@jasonkolmes4190]

Excellent shot! Congratulations.

[@djaxclips]

Perfect placement 👌it didn't know a thing about it

[@Pygapascoe160]

[@bobbyjorogers4937]

[@jacksonskinner9408]

Great video Matt!

[@stgraves260]

Great shooting

[@ChingLoong808]

Great Shot! I was waiting to see the impact results from that range. Part of hunting! Great videos...

[@ioannastasa3007]

Hello from UK. Nice shooting. Can you do a video how you adjust you Strelok Pro for 260 cal please. Thank you and keep on going

[@russaanderson]

Nice shot!

[@HOBMACHINE]

Brilliant Rifle-Craft...........well done.

[@conleypieterse7800]

Good shooting Matt!

[@Nougins]

What a great shot! got me salivating over waterbuck biltong and drywors, what does it taste like in comparison to beef? ( in england its the main and other meats really bump up the price like kudu) Really happy your channel pulled through, your a great entertainer and i look forward to all your vids

[@JimmyGunXD556]

Nice shot!!!!! Awesome vid !

[@mous6879]

Nice hunt Matt but we still need more airgun hunting!!!

[@xman870096]

Fantastic shot Matt, he didn't even twitch!!!......

[@keeganferreira6502]

[@whitebuffalo4641]

Amazing shot congratulations

[@scrooge8117]

[@PesVis084]

Very well done man!

[@OvO-OvO1]

Hell of a shot. Great bru.

[@Kawitamamayi]

Excellent shot! Great kill. Well edited video.

[@cheriedrington9897]

Great shot

[@hannesmans5794]

nice shooting as always. Please please help out with 'n training video for Sterlok Pro app. bullet temp, pressure ext. i have gained from your videos a lot . . .

[@AndreasdeV308]

Great shot!!!

[@the.original.throwback]

Another great video, Matt. That amazing first shot hit was clearly not a fluke but instead the result of careful preparation and execution (no pun intended, just can't think of a better word). I appreciate your precision in planning, reloading, shooting, and video production and look forward to more adventures. I think your mixture of firearm, air gun, and archery hunting really adds interest and entertainment to your videos. Do you know if weapons like the Crosman/Benjamin Pioneer Airbow are legal for hunting in SA? Jess

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+Throwback Thanks! Yes they are legal

[@the.original.throwback]

Hunting with an air bow would make an interesting video. Perhaps Crosman or FX will supply you with their air bow equipment to make that possible. There are very few air bow hunting videos available, but hunter interest here in the US is quite high. Unfortunately, long standing hunting weapon restrictions will have to change to allow air bow use for game animals in most states. Also, I assume you are shooting 4k video, judging by the excellent quality of the cropped close-up of your Waterbuck head shot. Really demonstrates the value of high resolution video. Once again, a great video that is sure to be a hit. Jess

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Damn good shot. Nice to have a place to shoot your powder burners. All of mine sit in the safe most of the time. Well done!

[@MrDbowschnider]

Well done my man indeed !!

[@marcomentz668]

Matt i have recently bought a Fx streamline I very quickly realised that the barrel is not attached to the cylinder causing it to shake and tap against the cylinder this is not a large issue but very annoying is there anything I can do about this???

[@moandersmith3347]

Hi Matt, loving the videos, I'm an airgun shooter my self, mainly because I live in the UK and owning anything else is a real pain, i was wondering if its possible when you not having so much fun :P if you could go through something really basic, like i don't know, mounting and setting up a rifle scope. i have just gotten into HFT, and everything seams a bit off, ive treated my self to one of those Optisan EVX scopes 6-24x50 F1 to be precise and i am really want to make sure its all dialed in correctly and your videos (and shooting ability) are so good id really like your advice, keep up the good work, and hopefully i can become a patreon soon :)

[@00BillieTurf00]

would have loved to see you point out the entry wound, and some more footage of walking towards the kill and then some processing footage ...

[@giovannim5101]

Great work but don't forget the Air Rifles.....

[@stgraves260]

I took a 290 lb hog at 997 yards with my 260 Rem 140 Grain Berger bullets. Well underestimated round.

[@MsJon52]

good clean kill, nice shot a pleasure to watch , well done sir.

[@mountainmanmilitia3806]

Seems as though you’re a fellow SWFA guy ;) nice shot

[@小杨-r8v]

what the fx impact .25 hammer spring size?thank you

[@joshuanorman607]

hey Matt, in your objective experience has the tikka or the savage retained better accuracy at longer ranges? thanks for the videos. keep em coming bro

[@BushcraftJones]

Honestly, it´s hard to answer that because there is so much more that defines accuracy at long range, like load consistency etc. I know that you couldn´t go wrong with a tikka. It´s no secret that SAKO and Tikka barrels are made in the same factory by the same machines. further the quality, finish and test firing makes it a great rifle. It is harder to get aftermarket and spare parts for a tikka versus the savage. Just my 2 cents.

[@joshuanorman607]

BushcraftJones thanks dude. ill definitely weigh both of those options when looking for my own rig.

[@smokedbrisket3033]

I have a Tikka and a Savage. Accuracy and precision are what they are. Jonas is correct. A load that produces .5 MOA at 100 yards will still be .5 MOA at 500 yards (ignoring for atmospheric variables, of course). Both my rifles shoot .5 MOA with my handloads - a 6.5x55 SE Tikka, and a .308 in the Savage

[@billiebleach7889]

There are many firearm-channels, also on long range shooting. But still, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. However, I hope air rifles will remain the core business of the channel...that's why we came in the first place. So let's burn some powder now and again...and wack some critters with the PCP's for a living

[@Koaslice191]

What the haters do NOT understand is....most nations in Africa have very STRICT rules for utilization of the animals taken. There IS NO WASTE. The meat is used by the local peoples if the hunter does not want it or has no room for it. If nothing else, it is used to feed the guests at whatever ranch the animal is taken on. I am pretty sure Matt will correct me if I am wrong on this, yes?

[@miairgunner8705]

what spotting scope was that? any preferences on those?

[@pulotoshohesumi9377]

Love you Quinton decock.

[@le3045acp]

Matt looks like the .260 is working out excellent for you congratulations on a beautiful animal and great for animal conservation shame animal lovers dont understand that ethical hunting helps wild life to flourish

[@marcosgabrielmansor3190]

WHAT SPEED ARE YOU GETTING WITH 140 GRAINS TIPS ??

[@momouppa]

great video

[@gradyhernandez4699]

I need a 260 rem! I have a 6.5 x 55 mm Swede mauser

[@dihm22]

my friend do have a snapshat ?

[@jeandelaharpe4222]

Hey Matt! Can you pleeease tell me what app you're using to calculate your ballistics!?

[@BushcraftJones]

Most likely Strelok pro, thats the app that most people use.

[@07Rickus]

Matt what mount do you have at the bottom of your rifle for your bipod and sling ? I would really like to get the same one ?

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+Rickus It's an Atlas bipod rail. I actually got it from AOA.

[@sieteveenstra634]

Hi. What app are you using that you get your conditions on

[@eduardoschaefer8900]

What is the mark of this telescope?

[@lloydyoung558]

Nice good clean kill, good shot.

[@marksimon6896]

This is all wonderful stuff ..... but isn't this site supposed to be about air rifles?

[@BLADExARTx5160]

What setup and kit do you use for these calculations? Is it some sort of phone app?

[@johanswart8116]

Strelok ballistic app

[@sindahir3]

amasing shot as always from you! but ist no airgun but i think on those huge animals it wouldnt be so good for that animal.

[@normandyck7609]

What app do you use? I have a am iPhone well shot

[@slomo1562]

Love the 260 Remington. Sadly it is more affordable than your airguns.

[@gopherking352]

Great vapor trail

[@jasonrossouw9023]

With what rifle are you hunting with

[@stgraves260]

I love my 260 Rem

[@Stormraider-hv9rq]

What ballistic calculator are you using?

[@BulletofBeliefs]

Gerrit van Schalkwyk looks like strelok pro . There's a free version as well

[@memeboi4173]

Coincidence! I recently shot my first black bear at 505 yards in the head (not intentional scope was dialed a little too high) but it dropped like a ton of bricks

[@karelwiggins8576]

with what app did you have on your phone

[@meeuwtje8684]

i prefere the air rifles more!! in my country firearms are restricted! so know nothing about these rifles! and dont need it... still nice vids favourite rifle youtuber!!

[@dansecurity9608]

Does the meat taste good?

[@lucstrydom5788]

What calculator do you use?

[@stefanczerepowicz8463]

it would be a good shout if you didn't use an app to calculate everything for you ! Does it not take away from the fun of judging a shot !

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+Stefan Czerepowicz No! It is okay to "guess" or "roughly calculate" if you're shooting at a target, but with real animals you have responsibility to make a clean shot - there are no second chances!

[@stefanczerepowicz8463]

Ok cool understand ...Cheers for informing me ...love the channel

[@garylong4290]

wouldike to see some air rifle stuff soon let's not forget Matt a couple of months ago you asked us to help you out but I tho k you have so e two t best since then with the air rifle don't mind the firearms stuff but I think it over taken the airgun stuff

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+Gary Long You'll see the Airgun stuff soon, don't worry!

[@Rakstawr]

With a 260 not uncommon to get accurate shots. That is one hell of an accurate caliber.

[@skillet5479]

Yissus daai is 'n goeie skoot, well done.
