Stock savage guy here. It was a little difficult spotting your own splash. First thing in the morning on full mag the image was a little dark and the dirt wasn't moving much. It was a great day and an awesome experience. Hits got way easier as the day went on. Thank you for the opportunity. Hope to do it again. With impacts this time.

[@charlesmullins3238]

🫲Damn fine shootin…my buddies got few savages he has all dolled up McGowan barrels and gen3 razor in a spuhr..I have a 6.5prc carbon waypoint and older fn special police .308 that will drive nails to 800yrds far as I’ve shot it…168gmm from Walmart stay on a 15” gong

[@IkeStarnes40]

I'll put $100 on you to win next time.

[@Triggertarzan]

John’s new name stock savage guy

[@SleepyDubVRT]

I was watching and wondering about that. The splashes were so small, even hard to see on the cam. Also don’t worry; if anyone watching expected hits under the 3 min 5 shot condition, I’d say they haven’t been watching long range stuff long enough.

[@ChuckCooley]

your group sizes was AMAZING! Hella good shooting..!

[@AndyDoodle]

Would love to see Texas Plinking come out and try this challenge and vice versa see X-ring shoot at Texas Plinking’s event

[@sapago4166]

I'd like to see what Ray could do on the Backfire challenge.

[@ronmor8237]

As a military sniper, these shots are really difficult without a spotter! Most people don't appreciate the spotters but their work is holy!

[@XRING]

For sure! Definitely not an easy challenge. Episode 2 is in the works for next week.

[@jasondd3]

Dude with the stock savage had the best group 🤷🏻‍♂️ lol

[@TenRing69]

I've got a 25 yr. old Savage 7mm (Accu-trigger & Accu-stock) that's a tac driver. For the price tag, they're hard to beat.

[@RockinRack]

Don't think he was able to spot those shots or I think he could have corrected and got on steel pretty quick. Mile with no spotter is extremely difficult!

[@SVTBansheeman]

It's the Indian, not the arrow 💪

[@javiersp01]

yeah, i think nobody did spot his impacts@@RockinRack

[@SDMacMan]

Yeah, thanks for ruining the surprise for everyone

[@NBKmediaPRS]

When the first guy ditched his bag, I knew it was all downhill from there.

[@jayfxdx]

That guy rocking that savage was shooting an MOA but just couldn't walk it in! I was really routing for him. I think he'd have been on steel in 2 with a spotter.

[@dankcincy]

Cold bore 1 moa at a mile solo is no joke. Theres no way you could see that splash through the glass to even make corrections off of. These guys did amazingly well considering.

[@texaswader]

If you can't see your own splash you can't adjust. Good job guys all around.

[@leonhorner1643]

Really good episode. The gentleman with the stock savage has his reloading dialed in. Im looking forward to the next one.

[@dannydivine7699]

17:24 Hats off to the jackwagon that is tooo important to shut his phone off, and keep his mouth shut in the background!!!! Jest Say'in!!! Great video, Great Challenge, Great Shooters all around!!!! Looking forward to more!!!

[@francoisdavel1786]

I learn alot from these challenge videos. The guy with the 7PRC has an accutac bipod with rubber feet. Watch his rifle jump. I switched mine to the sled feet and it made a world of difference.

[@mp_mp270]

Love it. The cheapest gun out there has the best group. Great shooting all around though.

[@chase7354]

money dont mean much if you dont know your rifle

[@rustyshackleford2723]

Everyone should get a swag bag of some stuff. Winner gets the big stuff, runner up gets the binoculars. One it be television show, big bucks!

[@XRING]

They all received some swag like hats, shirts and lens products. 👍🏼

This is going to be a great series 😀👍.

Fantastic, really enjoyed, thanks

Familiar format 😉. I'd love to see a rimfire equivalent!

[@Onelowluv]

Fantastic!! Loving this series!

[@gabebradley1871]

Really fun to watch. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@charleslindsay4308]

I think it would be cool to see how the target looks to the competitors through a scope.

[@Wraith35]

awesome effort fellas! looking forward to next months match!

[@williamsweet7511]

Really fun to watch. That wind is gonna be tough on those smaller bullets.

[@XRING]

Definitely can make it a challenge and spotting the misses can be tough as well.

[@CashmereJungleLord]

That was great content to watch. Like to see more of those. That wind was gettin it!

[@Jgorelj]

Great format.

[@tedboyette3390]

Great episode. I believe I’d go to more rounds….7-10. It’s a mile….

[@XRING]

Thanks for the input and for watching the channel.

[@tedboyette3390]

@@XRING hey bud we have a 1000 yrs range here in NC that has been private that we wanna start some events at…could we discuss.? Would like your input. How can I get in touch with you? I am also a customer of Gary Melton at Paramount tactical. Thanks.

[@ThinkSoberly]

Change nothing. Super cool series. Looking forward to the next one.

[@garywinkel1831]

Very cool. Watching this, I caught myself holding my breath and slowly exhaling! Great content and well presented.

[@portdog761]

Good job guys! thanks Ray!

[@Triggertarzan]

Ray your being to nice. I witnessed first hand your 2nd impact on the moa with the Barrett. Thanks for helping the calls for me and Andrew on the 2050 yrd shots later that day.

[@Farmerbrown32]

Awesome shooting guys. Man id love to try this.

[@loganfurst3010]

Im not the only one that saw a stock savage shoot the best group good job on the video Ray great to watch I own a savage and also a 7mm prc I was rooting for them both

[@OFFICIALUND]

They weren't shooting for groups, though. They were shooting for closest to the target.

[@tonygslc801]

Looking forward to the next video 👊😎🇺🇸

[@shibalseki8818]

Love this new challenge!

[@XRING]

Thanks Shibal! LOL. I hope you have been doing well. I still chuckle even to this day when I read that handle.

[@GLAJMAN]

Haha, great representation and game show look. You have talent to be a game show host. Keep em' comin'!

[@wesleyherring9870]

Great podcast. Really enjoyed seeing everyday shooters going after the mile.

[@bryanduchane2371]

So glad you did this!!

[@XRING]

Thanks Bryan and thanks for watching the channel.

[@Fair-to-Middling_Marksman]

That’s awesome. Good on the guys that gave it a go, well done.

[@XRING]

They had a great time and all of them earned their coin before the days end.

[@johnsimonelli9988]

I think a spotter would level the playing field. The guys shooting big bores have definite advantage at seeing the splash. Make it interesting and give every shooter one spot call. Either way I like it!!

[@bpintogsxr1000]

Great video. I’m generally, I see a lot of people slapping the trigger. I was always taught to follow through. I compete in PRS and I see trigger slappin a lot!

[@2punish1]

This is an excellent challenge for shooters!

[@jeffreypelletier7247]

This is awesome!!!

[@XRING]

Thanks Jeff and thanks for watching.

[@mano0183]

Great video and competition. Don’t change a thing.

[@joaquin-jacknava2696]

Good shooting gentlemen. Keep at it. Thanks Ray for the footage.

[@XRING]

Thanks Joaquin. I hope life has been doing well for you. I am happy to still be alive and kicking!

[@chapman1967]

Great Stuff!!!!!!

[@maj.kamper9314]

Good stuff! Yea, those wind flags were waving in the wind.

[@XRING]

It was a little gusty! Thanks Kamper.

[@ThePro455]

Definitely fun and interesting to watch! Since you asked for suggestions or changes I think a shout out to Texas Plinking for the Idea would be good. At least that's where I first saw this concept about a year ago.

[@OFFICIALUND]

Long range shooters of Utah have been doing this for a decade or more. Probably others, too. TP hasn't done anything new (plus he's mostly clueless).

[@anameek4727]

I feel I’m watching Texas plinking 🤣 Even he asks the same questions and the way he edited it Yes I agree, A shout out would have been nice!!!

[@XRING]

I’ll do that on the next episode 👍🏼

[@Martin-outdoors]

Great vid! Looks fun.

[@hesa3656]

Thank You Sir, Sponsors, Mr. M, competitors, Clinton House! One strategy, which may be less significant at such a distance, is to know your rifle cold bore as far out as possible. Anticipate that impact, concentrating on spotting to get a good wind call. Work with that on the remaining four. I believe the Savage rifle had an Area 419 Hell Fire muzzle device. I love everything Area 419! I hope that young man from California comes to shoot in the future, Johnathan O..... The other time you mentioned an event at Pig River. I see competitions there on Practiscore often. Pig River, enchanting, my imagination runs wild! 👍🇺🇲

[@westvirginiaminer3046]

The 338 Savage with hand loads was sub MOA, just couldnt get wind. With a spotter he is 2nd round impact all day.

[@PJshoota]

That is a great vid looking forward to more

[@XRING]

Thanks PJ

[@MDoodie11B1P]

Looked forward to this

[@XRING]

I hope you enjoyed it and thank you for watching.

[@L0NGRNGE]

Good job, this is really well put together. Hate I didn't get to make it down. Thanks to Zeiss to for their support.

[@XRING]

Absolutely! Thank you longrange and thanks for watching the channel.

I can’t wait for the next!!

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Fun! Thx for the vid Ray.

[@charlesmullins3238]

Get your hinden in there Joel….you got the tools and the time in…👊🏻like to see my good ol boys get together even though I can’t ever make it .

[@Le10White]

Great!!

[@1Tan9neR7]

Just ordered a Zeiss LRP S5 3-18x50 from Mk Machining! I’m so excited to get it my hands on it!

[@XRING]

Good choice! I know you will enjoy the scope.

[@t.c.2527]

That's a whole lot harder than it sounds. And when you look through the scope you'll see. Wow what a challenge and good luck to all.

[@kubikariYOU]

Enjoyable video, a spotter would really be helpful. Thanks

[@johnrollins2820]

Great video Ray what a challenge

[@XRING]

Glad you enjoyed it John and thanks for watching.

[@ryanbieberich6332]

AWESOME!

[@markt5450]

Video quality is awesome!

[@XRING]

Thanks Mark. Have to step it up and not use my iphone on events like this. LOL

[@apet1572]

im glad #4 won... he had the best grouping out of the 5 lol out of a savage no less!

[@XRING]

He shot very well for sure.

[@OFFICIALUND]

They weren't shooting for groups. Shouldn't you have been pulling for the person with the hit closest to the target since that was the objective of the challenge?

[@apet1572]

@@OFFICIALUND none of them hit the target, so the next best thing is a good grouping. the dude also shot all his shots pretty damn close to target as opposed to some who didnt even make it there

[@OFFICIALUND]

@@apet1572 You're obviously slow. Think about it. If the first shot taken was 30MOA left and low, they SHOULDN'T be hitting near there the second time. They should be getting closer to the target (ideally) with each successive shot. Even if they were, the Stock Savage guy was getting progressively worse with each shot. He threw that last shot way high. 7PRC guy had a tighter group that was nearly just as close to the target.

Nice show

[@hopewilliams6705]

This is really cool

[@XRING]

Thank you Hope and thanks for watching.

[@Big222Dog]

Hello from Northern Ireland. Really good challenge. Suggestion, could you put the caliber on screen beside them time clock. Keep them coming! 😊

[@XRING]

Hello and thank you. Thats a great idea! 👍🏼

[@maxcoatlhunter4322]

Great challenge and great prize too! Zeiss scopes are bad a$$

[@XRING]

Thanks Maxcoat and thanks for watching the channel.

[@JonsMG]

You could make the argument that the last placed person should get the nice scope; the first place person obviously has a good setup already! 😆

[@XRING]

Because everybody would probably shoot poorly just so they could win the scope. 🤣

[@talkingrock7011]

I smell a rub off Texas Plinking and too much with the shirt advertising , that’s definitely a tuff challenge Ray

[@OFFICIALUND]

Texas Plinking is derivative of Long Range Shooters of Utah (and others). It's actually telling of your own inexperience that you didn't know about this type of video until you watch TP.

[@cjjohnson7450]

Very cool.

[@danielgodismyjudge]

Two tight shooters!

[@XRING]

Yes there were and everyone had a fun time doing the challenge.

[@lenbong1234]

Atleast the guy with the best group got the binoculars

[@georgeclarke4235]

Great video. Tough wind. I’m sure they were making corrections, but still missed on one side on all shots. I guess larger corrections needed to see the effect down range. I wonder if my 25 prc would do any good?

[@XRING]

Thanks George! I think the 25 could do well as long as you could see the splash. Many of the shooters were trying really hard to see their splashes. That's really what makes this event really tough.

[@csmith1]

Where is the guy..."Oh I can hit 1 mile with my AR all day."

[@kurtcolson769]

Never shot even close to 1 mile but would love to try

[@brockedandloaded6034]

Building a 7 PRC right now, will definitely be doing this.

[@XRING]

That 7 PRC is a great round !

[@SpaceFrawg]

17:26 dude was like, really?! ... and rightfully so.

[@jrock1540ify]

I can’t see 💩 made me think of jango 🤣

[@chrissmith2444]

I’ve spent some time at 1760, I’d love to shoot this challenge!

[@Jerry-Parker]

Looked like a Nor Eastern down there ! 💨

[@dennisdial7872]

I LIKE IT I WISH I COULD LEARN TO SHOOT THAT FAR

[@MrZhaokuo1225]

I wonder who could hit the target as the series goes on. Those people are very professional and subMOA at 1 mile is obviously remain challenging for them.

[@XRING]

I am sure there will be some impacts on the next episode. There are some F-Class guys that says this is a walk in the park and they are ready.

[@brandonjett16]

That wind was pretty stable

[@ES44AC-2]

A mile is definitely a tall order.

[@Pompomgrenade]

That looks extremely challenging and it's probably worse than that😂 When the group spread is about as wide as the movement, you need to your target 🎯 Yotu kind of pissing in the wind

[@jamessammann9183]

Think.i.would do 8.shots ..and I could not see impacts on that dirt wad it wet ...good job guys

[@neal9700]

nice to watch... were the guys unable to see their splash? seemed like they were all grouping well but just couldn't adjust onto the target.

[@xforce708]

I wanted to come try so bad. Maybe next time.

[@bryanduchane2371]

Ray. I have no idea what kind of camera your using recording this video, but it is high movie quality! May be the best video footage I've ever seen in KZbin... Fantastic job.

[@patrickthompson389]

F-class open V-Bull scoring ring is 0.25 MOA @ 1000. Find a local match and just show up with a rifle under .338, a bipod and no muzzle brake, and show your stuff.

[@brandonrupp5880]

Needless to say this is a tough challenge.

[@docrok4972]

Just got done watching this is very entertaining and it was good competition and very interesting watch. They mentioned if there could be any changes in the competition I think I can think of one. When the shooters are on their Matt and they're doing their run make sure no one is flipping yapping in the background I'm sure that is very distracting and taken away of the concentration of the shooter just the fact that I have to mention this makes this show amateurish. But other than that I hope there are more episodes and I'm very interested in watching more. Thank you

[@SenpaiDelta11B]

First shooter should raise his comb height a bit it would make his sight alignment better and more stable

[@PopShot76]

A spotter would make this more interesting in my opinion

[@javiersp01]

A small change, just for fun you need to shoot after the competitors Ray !

[@sapago4166]

You should do the Backfire challenge.
