[@plainjane4318]

Female shooter here. I have the DD M4V7 super light weight. I mounted a light, optic, back up sights and the warrior poet sling. It's perfect for me! Love your channel!

[@kiasax2]

That sounds like a great rifle and I love the Warrior Poet Society slung you've got on it too. Very cool! By the way, I think you'll appreciate this, my wife beats everyone we invite over to shoot skeet with us. Just crams us all. And, although I was a sniper in the military, I'm a rifle guy, not a shotgun guy. She's the man when it to those,, LOL! Be safe, well, and happy. 😅

[@plainjane4318]

@krm9403 it sounds like your wife is super fun! The rifle is awesome, only downside is the price. I'm thinking of getting a 20 gauge shotgun. Many blessings fellow Warrior Poet 🙌

[@kiasax2]

@PlainJane Oh my, I had just written an answer and it disappeared. Bloody hell. Ah well. Anyway, she is fun. She's now a mental health counselor, but in her first career she was a zoologist. She went on an expedition to Belize, before it became a tourist destination. Her responsibility was to count jaguars. Crazy, right? Jaguars have the greatest bite strength of all of the great cats. We've known each other since we were 15 in high school. She was my HS GF's best friend, and she and I were friends. Just friends, though we had 2 friend dates and we had fun together. Then, I moved away and joined the military. She went to university and got married and had a daughter. That's when she was a zoologist. Time went by, she got divorced. She eventually bought this farm. Thirty five years after we had last seen each other, I saw her on Facebook, so I began chatting with her. Then we talked on the phone. This was November. Then she invited me here for New Year’s Eve. I said yes. Then, when she hugged me at the airport, I just knew there was a Cherokee name that was right for her, Avenasa, which means my home. I told this to her. She was touched. We fell in love. We got married. We still love each other so much. We know this is it. There's nothing else. We have talked about it, and both agree. Pretty amazing, right? It all began when we were 15.

As long as your husband drives you too the range, I'm down with it (Jokes jokes, chill people) I went BCM mod0 "gunfighter" lower matched with their 16" standard/government/?6020? Profile. Printed my own mags years ago because laws (same reason I got the rifle, I'd prefer a better sude arm and camera system but the law said I had to get an "assult rifle" early this year) with a cheap Ozark rear site and jimmy rigged sling but she shoots better than I do! I choose BCM over DD because it was the last lower in my town, and the upper was possibly priced wrong (it was in ironsites and they gave me a free handguard)

I needed some good old fashioned gun talk. Thanks. I personally like AR platform, 5.56, 16" carbine, mid length gas, with all the goodies. Then the AK47 Zastava with a side folding stock. Then my perfect after that is Henry side gate 20" 44 mag lever action with ghost ring sights. Those are my top 3. There are too many different applications and considerations to pick a perfect rifle but if I could have only one then a good 16"AR in 5.56 is my go to for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

A .rifle in between 243-..280 caliber would probably serve you better on heavier game, .22-250 bullets are too small and light to really cause instant kills on larger animals, you aren't getting a headshot in the perfect spot everytime, you don't want to make something suffer for a long period after you shoot it. The thought of that hurts my feelings a bit and all you needed was a 6ARC, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39 or 9x39 with quality ammo loaded hot.

As a fellow gun nut, and being raised by an old school cowboy like my dad was, I was influenced a bit on my firearms, I definitely want a semiautomatic, mag fed rifle.. I always like an AR and I’m not a snob about it, I like ‘em all, .556. I was in love with my Ruger Mini 14 though too.. those are my top probably .. but I like a good long range 308, 30-06, and I like to play with the old Marlin 336 30/30 also, just love ‘em . Carbines, long rifle, brush guns, it’s tough to pick.. I got love for them all.

[@newwaveinfantry8362]

A slick, skeletonized, foldable AR-10 chambered in .308 with a carbon fiber lower, full auto and birst fire mode, collapsable stock with a soft end, a very long barrel (24'' or more for maximum velocity, threaded, titanium) with an almost equally long carbon fiber hexagon pattern handguard with picattiny rail above and below, lazer dot optic, a vertical pistol grip at arm's length (I have short arms) and a textured pink paintjob applied to the lower and upper, except the barrel, which stays either black or metallic (I don't even like pink that much outside of rifles for some reason). If I'm hunting with it, I'm only gonna be shooting hollow points as they do way more damage and don't overpenetrate.

[@randymartin5521]

What constitutes the "perfect rifle" totally depends on the intended use and personal preference.

[@bryananderson3772]

[@jonnhyappleseed7498]

Its a rifle that checks every box

[@richardstone5241]

Howdy folks, I'm 69 years old and have been shooting since I was 8 having been taught by my grandfather who was a competition shooter. Military, police, contractor and civilian service shooting is my experience and I am very familiar with many different guns and calibers. So, with that being said, what is the perfect rifle? It's the one you have and KNOW how to use effectively (shot placement). You would be surprised what I have shot with a little 22lr. However, if I had to choose one rifle and only one for everything it would be the 25-06, bolt action, 26 inch barrel and a 1-8x40 scope.

[@erroneous6947]

If I had to pick one caliber it would be 25-06, or .243 win. Very capable rounds. Light bullets for small game or varmints. Heavy bullets for medium sized game. Very versatile. I agree being capable with it is more important than anything else.

[@The50Americans]

This is always a fun topic! I think it’s very subjective to where you live. I actually built mine recently. Living in rural Ohio I have miles of flat ground and more deer than people. My idea was a rifle that just works every time and that I can easily fix or maintain. I built a 308 AR on Aero M5e1 receiver set with a faxon fluted 18” SS barrel with a black finish. I used a titanium muzzle break and adjustable gas block with a buffer that compresses to absorb a little extra recoil. I’m saving up for a vortex razor 1-10 to put on it. So far, it’s the smoothest shooting rifle I’ve owned and with the stock collapsed it’s not too long for the 3 gun courses I’ve taken it to. I only have about 1000 rounds through it now but haven’t been able to get it to hang up yet.

The best rifle for any situation is the one you've trained with. If you haven't trained with it and know it forward and backward then it's just another hammer in your toolbox that you've never used. Get good with 3 rifles ranging from .556 to 308 and then you've got it covered for most situations.

[@deusvult9349]

@Kevin Hart I have no idea where you came up with this rant?? You can't get any other gun except the one you mentioned? Guns are like tools, they each have their place depending on what the mission calls for. If you're going to use weight considerations you'd be way off from military standards which would be 80 pounds of gear and a rifle. Where did you come up with 40lbs? If you are my target and my shot is at distance I'll drop you where you stand with a 308 before you ever see me. The 308 is just one choice in a sea of long-range calibers that have even better performance at distance, but you go ahead and do what you want cause it's still slightly a free country and see how that works out for you. P.S. I've put consistent shots on target at 800 yards with a 308 and it's really not any heavier than lugging around an AK as far as the weight of the gun and ammo.

Must be lightweight, reliable, moderately accurate, suppressable, capable of day or night use, and have ease of spare parts in SHTF. My go-to is my 12.3” Hanson barreled 5.56 with a Vltor A5-H2 and Sprinco Green. It runs the Dead Air flash hider for my various Sandman variants. Using 75-77gr makes up for most of the ballistic issues that 5.56 deals with. I run the Aimpoint T2 on a Unity FAST mount. I optionally run the EOTech 5x magnifier with Unity QD mount. Easy to deploy quickly for mission. Just keep in pouch in pack. I run the BCM MCMR handguard for best weight to rigidity. Up front I run a top mounted Streamlight TLR-VIR II for white/IR light/IR laser. Without the can or magnifier in its sub-8 pounds. It can do everything day or night, just falls short for extreme long range. Also runs the Geissele SS-X.

The Springfield M1A National Match is THE perfect rifle. 1 - More than adequate caliber, the 7.62x51 NATO. 2 - THE caliber that is ubiquitous in all NATO countries and isn't close to being made obsolete like the 5.56 is now. 3 - Semi-auto. 4 - Magazine fed. 5 - Combat proven action with no weaknesses and extremely rare problems of any kind. 6 - Construction in materials that will last for decades: no parts that need periodic replacement. 7 - A rifle you could coat in Cosmoline, wrap in wax paper, put in a wooden crate and bury, then come back in a hundred years, clean it and it would work.

To me a perfect "holy grail" rifle would be a viable coil gun that can reliably shoot 55gr rounds at 3k fps or greater that weighs under 10 pounds fully equiped. No need for a suppressor since by design the weapon is silent. Recoil is nearly non existant. Ammo production much easier, just fabricate a ferrous projectile to the required dimensions. Trigger can be set however you want since it is essentially just a switch. The only more perfect rifle would be some sort of laser beam akin to halo.

If ammo isnt the issue, ar-10 with drop in trigger, acog on .243 win 14in barrel with a second upper with a lvro in .308win 18in barrel. Quick lock suppressor ready flash hider on each. A bolt on 20ga under barrel shotgun would also be nice

I own my 2 favorite rifles of all time and I've had them for quite a few years. One was a present from my wife, which was quite a surprise because the next year she bought me the dream car I had wanted since the year 2000. A 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL 55 AMG. With a 5.4 liter, supercharged V8 engine producing 493 bhp and 516 ft-lbs of torque. The interior is sheer luxury, while under the hood is raw power. The car is a German Muscle Car. Talk about a great gift! Ok, back to the perfect rifle. She bought me a Rock River Arms LAR-15 Elite Operator. I think Rock River Arms makes the most durable, accurate, and easy-to-manage rifles. Since we have our own shooting ranges here at our farm, as long as I've gotten my intractable migraine somewhat under control, then I love to shoot this rifle. When she took me to check it out, not only did I shoot the RRA LAR-15, so did she. It wasn't until SHE shot the RRA LAR-15 did it get final approval. My next favorite rifle is an FN Herstal Mauser 98, in 30-06. I have mine sitting in an Archangel stock, which I happen to love. It's a love/hate relationship with the Archangel stock, and I just love mine. I just added a Sig Sauer BDX 2.0 system to this rifle which is a really interesting juxtaposition. The Mauser 98 rifle design goes back over 100 years and the Sig Sauer BDX 2.0 system is the latest technology. The main reason that I got the Sig Sauer BDX 2.0 system is so that I can relive my sniper days when I was a young military sniper and could shoot the eyes out of a mosquito at 500 meters. The reason that I didn't buy another rifle is that I've been shooting the 30-06 round since I was a 10-year-old. I know it very well and the round is available everywhere, which I see as a huge advantage. A lot of my former sniper buddies give me a hard time about sticking with my 30-06 round. They think I should be using 308 or 338, etc, etc, etc ... I'll stick with my 30-06, thank you very much. So, there are my 2, one battle rifle and one sniper rifle. All yours folks ...

The gun you can shoot accurately. and reliably regardless of action type. To quote my Russian friends "perfection is the enemy of good enough".

[@QCutube]

That hatsan blitz 30cal is perfect, no need for gun powder, brass, just air & projectile

[@damoncrowfeather4655]

The 300 Blackout has become a very popular round, prob due to how well it is suppressed. But, I elected to go with 7.62x39.. Much cheaper ammo, and a far better performance.

Welcome back again Chad!

[@Hitmanblood]

Man, you are doing a great job with the fitness journey Eric. You can tell you lost some weight. Also great video boys.

[@rhodie33]

The IWI X95 gives you the best of both worlds. A 16" barrel in a short package and combine that with a Geissele trigger, Eotech XPS2, and suppressor now that equals a fantastic option, imo.

[@Iraqveteran8888]

Yeah but it’s a 4 minute gun with match ammo

[@Lungorthin666]

​@Iraqveteran8888 my Canadian Tavor shoots 1.5 moa pretty consistently with m855.

[@erroneous6947]

My tavor is a 2 minute or less gun. With decent ammo. Maybe you got a lemon. Mine shoots great. Only flaw I see with it is its weight. Chunky girl.

[@SCAR20s]

After a healthy debate I’ve come to the conclusion that Hands down the Lever action Marlin 1895 chambered in 45-70. - made by Ruger

[@jonnhyappleseed7498]

Shoot that at 800 yards and see how well you do lol

[@raacore]

Currently my HK 762 in 16". Although my wish list is Dead Air suppressed, XM-157 Smart Optic, side-mounted solar RMR. I also digress.. if the SIG M7 were avail. in my area now, I'd trade in due to future tech ammo, standard folding stock, and suppressed for the win. Love to have a bag full of NV goodies too if $ were no object.

[@1stSgtSoulStealer]

Hey gents! Thanks for the answer! Seeing is I have a nice 6.5 Grendel AR with an SSAE in it, I feel like I definitely made the proper choice haha. I need to see it in action for hunting, but what I determine from ballistic tests, it's a fantastic rifle. Thanks again for being a bastion of intelligence, humor, and strength!

[@rhekman]

This past fall I fielded a 6.5 Grendel AR, 20" barrel, polished mil-spec trigger, Leupold VX-1 2-7x optic. I took two whitetails at 90 and 180 yards using Nosler 120 grain pills. Having shot 30 cal and shotguns all my life, it felt amazing being able to see my impacts in the scope and know I had a kill shot. That being said, I might still be looking for better constructed bullets or higher velocity cartridges for better terminal ballistics. Both my shots were heart-lung area, but it still took about 30 yards of running before the animals went down. Exit wounds were not hugely bigger than entrance. I know my anecdote is not a substitute for real data, but my takeaway is to keep it within 250 yards for deer sized game with this rifle to maximize humane and efficient harvesting.

[@jaybot7813]

Why not go with the 6.5 Creedmoor?

[@rhekman]

@@jaybot7813 6.5 Creedmoor requires a large frame AR. Grendel meanwhile fits in STANAG magazines and standard AR15s with only a bolt and barrel swap. Of course the Creed is a perfectly fine round, and if you're just hunting medium game, there are plenty of lightweight bolt guns and handy rifles you can use. However when we're talking "perfect do-all rifle" I think there's an advantage to being in the widely compatible AR15 ecosystem. Larger AR10s however seem to have much more pitfalls if you're mixing and matching parts.

[@1stSgtSoulStealer]

@@jaybot7813 as silly as this sounds, I don't like to do the in thing. I liked the ballistic rating and flatness of the Grendel, plus it's still the AR-15 package size.

[@jaybot7813]

@Reid H cool....I see now makes perfect sense

[@bladesmilitariauk5013]

The perfect rifle is a 10rnd box fed semi-auto 4 bore with titanium/polymer frame, a carbon fiber 18" barrel, integrally suppressed, folding stock, DBal illuminator, dual thermal/night vision, Spectre DR optic & a 1-10power magnifier, MS3 magpul sling, magpul folding foregrip & a brass catcher😂

[@RedfinPike]

DDM4V7 with ACOG, weapon light, quality sling, and Witt Machine SME muzzle device.

[@chasseuracheval7123]

My choice is POF Revolution .308 16" gas piston, Trijicon vcog 1-8, suppressor, bipod. For carrying rifle magazines, first aid kit, and the necessary trifles - IC13 INVRT bandoleer in full configuration. Excellent Grab-and-Go system

[@darrelldowns7437]

I have a good selection of rifles to choose from in my safe. If my house is burning down, I'm saving my daniel defense dd5v3 with the 1-10 LPVO. I'm about 5'11 200 pound guy who stays in hunting shape so the weight isn't an issue especially with my sling!

[@rednecksniper4715]

If you’re concerned with length then use a reflex style suppressor that sleeves over the barrel like the AEM5 or AEM30

[@buildingandfixing4397]

im going to get an x95 tavor in 300 blk for my first rifle because to me it seems like the perfect rifle. what do you guys think?

[@Aphabet21]

Sig Rattler .300 blk titanium suppressor, Holosun optic with solar panel, surefire mini scout with pressure switch, magpul ms4 sling

[@robertsebacher44]

The most universal center fire rifle for a jack of all trades is a Tavor 7 in 308 with added iron sights and a quality 3x9 scope on quick disconnect mounts. A good sling and a good walking stick for use as a shooting stick doesn’t hurt. If they chambered the Ruger SFAR in 243, 7mm08, and 338 federal as well as 308 a good argument could be made for it.

[@erroneous6947]

I like the tavor, I own one in 5.56. But they are very heavy.

[@schmrzlch]

Haenel CR308 with 20" barrel, 3-18x50 Meopta as an DMR. For everything closer I've got my VP9L. Nothing for dirt but very accurate and reliable. Maybe one day I'll buy a anschütz .22LR for 100m precision shooting. And a Tikka T3X for further long range shooting.

[@johncoleman2495]

Mag fed, semi auto, .308, great modern ergonomics, back up sights, low magnification optic, under 8 lbs, proven operating system, good weather/corrosion resistance, good parts availability, accessory compatible, value for dollar....oh yeah, my Springfield Saint Victor.308 already fits that bill! I like everything about this rifle and it checks all the boxes for me. Its capable of doing anything i could possibly need to do with a rifle. While not perfect for anything, its not left wanting for much either! Ive been through a lot of .308 rifles over the years including a few AR-10 pattern rifles(because the AR platform is the best!) And none of the before this one met all of my criteria. HK91/PTR91 had been as close as id found. But lack of bolt hold open, ergonomics and accessory mounting were deal breakers.

[@cogburn1565]

A2 stock with storage for fishing gear.

[@cogburn1565]

Storage in pistol grip too.

[@walther5027]

Hey Remington. Bucket of bullets blew my SR22 pistol up on the 3rd mag out of the bucket. Very dangerous. I keep my barrel clean. It was a double charge. Felt like a 9mm and really loud

[@erichzahn3926]

Akm. Got the rail mount on the side so I can switch optics out with either a scope or red dot. 7.62x39 you can use on deer or hogs within 250 yards, or 300 if you really feel like it. Alg trigger, Kns piston so I can mount suppressor and adjust gas. Regular sling. Bayonet lug a bayonet for cannibals

[@Dstev98141]

I have been toying with the idea of "creating" a pump action, AR, with folding stock and eliminating the gas system/buffer assy.

[@bisleyblackhawk1288]

@David Stevens…do a search for the Troy Industry’s optic ready pump action AR15 😎😎😎

[@Dstev98141]

@@bisleyblackhawk1288 will do, thanks!

[@keithj9165]

I have to go with the ar15. The perfect one is the one that works and gets the job done, the availability and popularity of parts and ammo and overall adaptability of the platform is going to help keep it running, potentially indefinitely.
