In this video we discuss the topic of whether accuracy can be "purchased" or not and talk about several personal projects on the quest for mechanical accuracy of the tool at hand and personal accuracy of self. Stay tuned, much more on the way. Also, you'll have to forgive our slip up near the end, it was Townsend Whelen that said "Only accurate rifles are interesting," DOH!

If you got accurate equipment, correct mindset, and most importantly the fundamentals down, you are unstoppable. Accuracy is you, precision is the tools.

[@geraldhoskins2933]

Accuracy is hitting the steel plate , precision is putting a smiley face on it .😊

[@93Kessler]

I'd like to say that, even though you said "No one can ever replace Barry," I think Chad does very well as a co-host. Barry was an amazing man and we all love and miss him. Maybe you were a little worried about how he would be received over Barry as a co-host but I'd like to say that Chad has does a very good job at keeping the audience entertained, giving good information and also doing entertaining videos like the .22 LR silent rifle. Keep it up Chad! While Barry was an irreplaceable icon, as a host, you do it well.

[@Rozmic]

Yeah Chad is great :) RIP Barry.

[@fakecubed]

Barry was a great man, whose legacy will live on in the videos he did. Chad is a fine host who has contributed greatly to the channel as well.

[@sparkplug1018]

Id agree, Chad does a great job as a host. What Barry had was many years of stories and experience. Which we all greatly miss.

[@MrBeau214]

Watching this and seeing barry in a video on the side :( makes me miss him R.I.P Barry

[@WickdPerfekT]

Time to pop some cut shells! RIP

[@fingersmcgillicuddy]

"It's going to make someone who is an even better shot....even better." The definitive definition of profundity.

[@milgeekmedia]

I have to say guys, I'm British so I will NEVER own any of these type of firearms, none the less I am an enthusiast and I found your video absolutely facinating. It's what we call a 'two cups of tea' job - I literally drank one cup of tea, had to pause the video halfway through to go and make another cup of tea before watching the remainder! Keep up the great work. All the best.

[@diggy_the_first]

hah! you brits and your tea, I love it!

[@seansimpson4472]

Dam you guys have come along way since the beginning. Hope the channel and the company keep growing I'm sure Barry would be proud of the work he did with you all in the beginning and seeing how things have grown

[@meifert2]

You buy precision, you practice accuracy

[@SWEmanque]

But without precision you will be practicing for ever, since you don't know if you hit/miss because of your aim or because of the spread of your group.

[@p51mustang24]

Very true, well put.

[@cowslayer2926]

Very interesting perspective

[@Physics072]

just another armchair groupie spewing terms like a preacher. Makes no sense no sense at all.

[@LeBoomStudios]

Honestly, to me, it's not even about that. In my eyes, precision is not about how small your groups are, but more about how far out you can keep a good group even with a beaten-up 30k-rounds rifle. It's about taking the most out of a given system, not to fit the system to your needs.

[@crazywolfe702]

I love the long videos guys. It feels like more info is getting across and y'all aren't getting rushed trying to make a video and hit the needed points.

[@wagstag89]

Sometimes you do get lucky and find a budget gun that for whatever reason is just insanely accurate. I bought a used 1979 Ruger M77 in 30-06 a few years ago and when the barrel is cold you WILL put the first 2 rounds of Winchester facory ammo in the same hole at 100 yards and the third shot will be touching or within a 1/4 inch. I've done it multiple times when I shoot it each year to make sure it's still zeroed. I just have a Nikon Buckmaster scope on it and a total of about $600 invested. I would love to see what that gun is truly capable of at longer ranges and hand loads but that's not what I bought it for and as they say "if it ain't broke don't fix it". But I have no doubt it would out shoot a lot of high dollar rifles.

[@xdaddyxwarbucks]

I started only shooting service rifles in the Navy and hadn't done so in several years. Getting into guns over the last few, I started with a high-end dream gun and had a blast. This allowed me to be fairly accurate while starting out and learning how to get even more accurate without getting discouraged. I'll always focus on sharpening my fundamentals but having the luxury of being able to hit what I'm aiming at can largely be attributed to the equipment. Great video, as always Eric and Chad!

[@VinnyS9143101982]

Jerry tells the bullet to hit the target & it complies out of fear.

[@mensoDAgoon]

Yeah ben and jerrys is fire

[@brianpartlow5530]

The guys at my range said you usually spend as much on optics as you do on the rifle to get a perfect build. I was fighting with accuracy with my mini 14. The problem ended up being the cheap scope I had on it. The vibration from the rifle rattled the scope to death pretty much. Mini 14's aren't meant to shoot long distance so a scope is useless unless you have impaired eye sight so I went with no scope. I shoot it with factory sights now and it's fine.

[@losttexan5199]

Accuracy is being able to hit an intended target while taking into account all external factors. Precision is a rifles ability to fire multiple rounds to the same point of impact (withing reason) You can buy a precise rifle, but accuracy comes from the shooter.

[@DL-ij7tf]

While accurate, I must reply with a "you must be fun at parties" quip ;)

[@losttexan5199]

I don't get invited to parties any more.....I wonder why?

[@romeotango5597]

I’d argue that accuracy as it is defined in a technical context fits better to the amount of deviation from the weapon itself ignoring the shooter. No one seems to agree on what words to use for what however so it’s fortunate we have context!

[@fakecubed]

Very good response, that's exactly right. Precision is nothing more than bullets going in a consistent, tight group while a firearm is oriented the exact same and there's no wind. You can certainly buy that. Accuracy is consistently putting that group where you want it to go, and that takes actual skill.

[@f5tornadeau]

SinsationalMike point taken, but you can't have accuracy without precision. So, in theory, investing in an increase of a rifle's precision will also increase accuracy. You can buy accuracy.

[@brianwolf692009]

Great video. I bought a Mossberg 100 ATR in 30-06 cal. I wish it would have come with iron sights, but I put a Center Point scope from Wal-Mart on it. Was shooting 3/4" groups till someone dropped my rifle and broke the reticle. Sent the scope back and they replaced it for free. Now I have to find time to go sight it in again. Lesson learned; don't loan out the only deer gun you have.

[@jeffmorris2124]

Used to be the warranty tech for Desert Tech. It was part of my job description to shoot 1/2 MOA or better consistently because I tested all accuracy complaints personally. They run good and they run hard.

[@NinjaEnShort]

I got myself a 308 Savage 10 Stealth and a Bushnell Elite 6-24 for plinking and hunting. In my mind a very good example of a sub 2000 $ platform to which I added an Atlas bipod. So far very happy with my toy... just had to switch the base for a 20 MOA one, the factory one I maxed the elevation a still a solid 2 minutes under bulseye.

[@mitchelll899]

Love my bushmaster x15 e2s carbine. Gave me 2 feed problems in the first 20 mag runs in 556. That few of jammed shots isn't a terrible break in. In 223 it ran like an insane beast. Hits 20yrds with the red dot with ease and I hadn't shot in years when breaking in the rifle.

[@thegoldencaulk2742]

Well, if we're going by the technical definition of "accuracy," all it really takes is to buy a gun that's been sighted by the factory, because that gun will in fact be "accurate." The real question is "Can you buy precision?" Which incidentally is also a yes.

[@calfskinbriefs0078]

TheGoldenCaulk precision depends on the ritual of the shooter and his movement between each shot and if he changes his steps between them and how that effects the tightness of the grouping.

[@chriscosby51]

TheGoldenCaulk then you have to wonder if the guy at the factory knows what he is doing.

[@paulsheehan2749]

TheGoldenCaulk precision can be bought, just G all the things and you to will have super precision.

[@milo555100]

These are accuracy issues that bounce around my brain all the time. Very good topic. Very good discussion b/t you men. I have had to cater brass to make my sps tactical shoot 1/2 and under but it was fun getting there. I have spend money on reloading dies and shell holders to get head space spot on. Love your passion. Thank you for being available to the shooting community. We appreciate you for making a difference. I listen and respond to your political news. Lets all keep acting to keep our constitution strong.

[@scarmenl]

I bought a second hand Remington 700 with a heavy barrel. Less than 20 rounds fired when I picked it up. The guy that had it first had a lot of work done and it shoots really good. I can stay in a 4 inch circle at 500 yards all day long. At 100 yards it shoots right in about .400. Now like all rifles I have to do my part as well. If I'm sloppy about setup and how I get tucked into the rifle that accuracy goes right out the window. On last thing. Dang that gun is LOUD!

[@noah887]

I love your guys long videos. Helps me learn new things and pick up tricks and techniques

[@theshootindutchman]

I really enjoyed this video, anything you want to post on accuracy, building up bolt-action rifles, Barrel swaps, long range shooting and testing of stock bolt action rifles Etc you are welcome to do! Don't worry about them being long!

[@bushmillslover9197]

Very informative, don't worry about the length of this video, it's fine. That milled out barrelled CZ is amazing.

[@richexs]

Great Gun Gripe, your comments bout hand loading are spot on. Thanks for all you do.

[@joejackson4202]

The value of owning a platform that out performs you is highly under appreciated.

[@silent_insanity3631]

Awesome video! wonderfully said and great points also I love these extra long videos don't worry about rambling or story telling haha I'm young and just learning the basics about this kind of stuff and I'm considering an AR10 .308 build but the glass is the intimidating part being so expensive.

[@JakobElbaek]

Awesome video! Videos like this is the reason I support you on Patreon. Keep up the good work gents!

[@jimothy-johnson]

You mentioned that you're just getting into long range shooting. The best money you can spend now that you have the right rig is on a long range shooting class. I've been into LR shooting for a couple of years now and my first long range course had us shooting out to 1100 yards on the first day. It actually saves you a lot of money down the line to get good instruction.

[@taylorn1242]

Speaking of quality bolt action rifles. I recently picked up a Winchester XPR chambered in 308 with a 20 inch threaded heavy Barrel. I could absolutely not be any more pleased with this rifle especially for the price point. I've been running 165 grain SSTs, out of Hornady match brass, with 44.5 grains of Varget behind it. 3/8 moa groups or better off a bipod! No problem hitting 12in targets at 600 and even popped some soda cans!

[@jbkormos]

This is a question that has been asked in a variety of the contexts that I've been exposed to, throughout my life. Many years ago, I worked in music retail. I was constantly seeing people who couldn't play an instrument, walk into the store with mom or dad and, a gold card later, they'd walk out with a mega-dollar guitar. Years later, as a competitive cyclist, I would occasionally come across someone who obviously had very deep pockets, riding the quality of bike I would've killed for--and they could barely average 10 miles an hour on a ride around the block. A similar condition exists at the heart of this video: can you buy accuracy? Of course, you can buy a highly accurate firearm but, as we all know, it's the person behind it that matters. Here is where it gets interesting: as I've occasionally re-visited this topic, from time to time, my viewpoint has changed. Whereas I used to be somewhat disdainful of those who would buy the best when their talents were minimal, I get it, now. There really is nothing wrong with someone buying a top-notch guitar, or bike, or gun when they lack the skills to match it. The real point is that that item they've bought has its own magnetism. It's going to draw them in--to play more, to ride more, to shoot more. These things are inspirations. They inspire us to want to be better, to put the time in and actually get better. Not for nothing, I know of more than a few cyclists who started off not being able to pedal their super-bike around the corner at much beyond a walking pace who later became quite formidable competitors....

[@adamimberti6948]

John Kormos Sounds like you grew up. Happens to the best of us.

[@sittinghuman]

almost finished with a k31 build. Rock solid scope mount, cerikoted sniper grey, pillar bedded (sporterized beechwood stock), for now a Primary Arms 4-14 rifle scope. need a cheek riser still as the scope mount is too high. I may upgrade to a Mcguines or Bluegrass stock later...more to com

[@GunsandGearNetwork]

I know this is an old video but it sure is hard to beat the Savage Model 10 out of the box accuracy.

[@JDsgreatz28]

The last match I shot I shot 1st and 3rd. I got 1st in both heats but they didn't go by separate heats and the wind picked up. I had the highscore of the day overall including the match class, with a bone stock savage mark II with a cheap BSA scope and cci standard pills. It was a 50 yard bench shoot. After my first heat people saw my score and people were all watching me shoot the 2nd heat like I was a magician or something. They were like taking notes. Just know your rifle and what it likes and have your skills as a rifleman.

[@ASVABWAIVER11B]

Love that y’all use Leupold’s and showcase the potential of entry level rifles. Mild to wild. I’m just up the road from you in barrow county. Combat Infantry vet on my Family farm with 50y pistol range and 700y rifle range. About 60 pieces of steel between the two. Come shoot.

[@charlesholzy]

great video guys. your rapport together is entertaining and you never cease to make engaging videos.

[@natewesselink]

I've got a ruger american predator in 6.5 creedmoor with a primary arms 4-14×44 scope on a 20moa base and I hit 1150yds just last weekend. Ive got just under $1000 into it and its fantastic. I dont think you can beat that for under $1000 bucks unless you get an incredibly good deal on a used rifle.

[@Porty1119]

natewesselink That is a very good optic; I mounted one on a 20" 5.56 DMR.

[@larryg7336]

I think this video was very informationally, the length was not in issue at all, great job.

[@slr7628]

I enjoyed this vid.you guys projected such a good vibe.sometimes it feels tense and awkward when chad gets cut off but this one was awesome..i love it,the vid flowed perfectly and I think it showed how you guys truly are especially when yall made jokes about each other lol cuZ I always assumed you guys weren't as serious with each other off camera.i wish you would show that more cuZ it's cool to see

[@slr7628]

Let me explain that I don't think you're rude for cutting him off its just that I would like to hear what chad was going to say.ive noticed chads the more spunky ADHD friend and eric is the sensible serious friend that has to reel chad back in sometimes lol

[@dtcb1]

Very much appreciated. Very informative. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@jacktumbleweed]

Great video, love that you touched on the internet operators and their magic unicorn guns which never show up except for in their stories. I was pumped when my SKS shot a 3MOA group at 50 yards, only once though LOL.

[@HugeWangPiece]

Nice! As a poor college student in georgia, I'm really looking forward to that budget bolt gun video you guys were talking about. Keep up the great content guys!

[@FlyRiverFly]

Great Video guys. I do want to point out one of the big mistakes made in purchasing weapons is the belief that the more you spend the more accurate your rifle is. There is a point of diminishing returns on cost vs accuracy. One of my favorite comparisons is savage model 10 vs Remington 700. In the not too distance past, Remington was selling the model 700 SPS (.308) with a cheap hogue stock and horrible trigger for close to $850 dollars. Savage was selling a model 10 (.308) with an accustock, accutrigger, 5R rifling with some actually being suppressor ready for about $700. Now to get that SPS up to the accuracy of an out of the box 10T-SR or 10FCP-SR, you would have to spend several hundred dollars more. (Now before the Remington guys go nuts and talk about all the great remington rifles, and Remington has and continues to manufacture some great rifles, this is an example of low to mid level rifles in the same caliber at roughly the same cost point and with one you can get more for less). Savage touts, MOA out of the box. I like Savages but there are other equally accurate rifles from many manufacturers out there. Lesson here is know what you are buying and spend your money wisely.

[@96joe]

Love Eric's shirt 👍

[@richardriley8906]

Great show ! Wish you could talk left hand Bolt action availability. I've only had 1 savage 110 in 60 yrs . Theres a whole subgroup of left handers .

[@fredrickjones4574]

I have pretty good gun knowledge(very good). But I want to thank you guys for this video and all your videos because you have definitely sharpened my knowledge on some things, especially on this video. Thank you my Guru's of guns Eric and Chad.

[@turnwell9530]

Hey Iv8888 can you do a video on night vision scopes and how well they can zero, how clear they are and stuff like that.

[@2009statechamps1]

I took my 1984 R700 '06 to a rifle smith about improving it's accuracy. Same thing lapped the locking lug and touched up the trigger. It's like a brand new gun now.

[@perrydubreuil1514]

Love your show up here in Canada .Keep up the great work !

[@goodride2004]

I bought the same aac-sd 700 308, dropped it into the magpul stock, timney calivin elite trigger, bushnell tactical elite optic and it shoots great. I think I got a tighter spec off the line because she will make 1 hole at 100yds. shot just over 1in at 200 last weekend. but I believe chad is spot on that sometimes the spec can be way off and its a lottery if you get a really good rifle or a pos.

[@RandyLeftHandy]

That 'Hankin's Custom Rifles' guy seems to know what he's doing. He seems to work on a lot of Rem 700 short actions and fits them with a nice barrel on whatever caliber you want. He also makes smokless muzzle loaders.

[@lmassey1984]

Great vid guys! The rambling makes it interesting:)

[@stxrod23]

Perfect video for the current build im working on!

[@Mjk10957]

Cz 452 varmint with center x ammo or sk match is very accurate and im only using a crappy little bsa 3-9x50 scope at 50m im getting 5 round groups which a 1p penny covers up really do love it rem 700 that i use at the club i shoot i was getting bull eyes at 500 yards its a nice little rifle

[@OldPackMule]

Hey Eric and Chad. How about taking an average bolt gun and going through a wide variety of ammo including hand loads to SHOW the various levels of accuracy that can be expected. From Walmart ammo to Black Hills and great hand loads.

[@trenvan5546]

One disagreement on the mosin... I use this red star mount I got years ago that I drilled and tapped to the side of the receiver.. much better for me than anything attached to the rear dovetail bridging over the ejection port. I tried most of those systems. I just wish it had came in 30mm

[@nomadsurvival4952]

That was very informative about barrels and such and will use that info on my next rifle build what ever it may be. I would really like to see a long or several informative vids on how you tweak reloads powder cases primers and so on. hint hint 30-06 I do very basic reloads but have no understanding on how to tweak types of powder cases primers bullets I have one rifle that can outshoot me but don't like to hunt with it but I have one that I can do nothing with the barrel as its an over/under combination it shoots OK'ish but I am trying/wanting to reload for a bit better accuracy and distance sounds like it can be done..

[@x.adam1]

Yes you can. I bought triggers for my handguns and my rifles and my groupings and consistency increased dramatically.

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

The right gun does help. Everyone is different so what's good for one isn't for another. It took a few smaller handguns to find a full size p226 40 elite was the best for me. Accurate from the start. Hard to conceal. If there's a will, there's a way to do it. So, fanny pack for now. Hitting a big gun show for other ideas. An AR is my rifle. Low recoil helps with accuracy.

[@briancrow5385]

You all are awesome keep it up look forward to some accuracy testing

[@justslayer]

Thoughts on the Rainier Arms line of barrels? I personally purchased one of their 18 inch SPR barrels, after I get my rifle back from being cerakoated I'm going to see how it prints out at 125 yards with some Wolf gold. Not expecting the best of accuracy from the ammo but hopefully the barrel performs well.

[@hailtothe_rooster1572]

You can buy accurate but you can't buy the skills and basic fundamentals.

[@Operator8282]

I'd like to add this caveat to your statement. You can buy accuracy, but you can't buy the skills and basic fundamentals WITHOUT spending enough time (and ammunition) to improve them; however, it is much easier to find out what your shortcomings are with an intrinsically accurate firearm than a sloppy one.

[@aneishinobinomono]

Yep. Both of you are correct. Just because the gun is accurate doesn't mean that you will be.

[@antilagboostaddiction8322]

I have to disagree Tracking Point includes all basic fundamentals integrated into the rifle.

[@atexasgrizzly3619]

You’re correct. Shooting fundamentals are of the utmost importance. I remember years ago going to a highly motivated class where the teachers were kind, caring, and gracious individuals. The thing I remember most of all, is, these men went out of their way to install these fundamentals, I mean in such a way that I would never forget, and it prove useful when the time came to demonstrate my ability to hit the target, moving or stationary. The first thing we learn was to make it personal. We would go on for days chanting, “this is my rifle, there are many like it, but, this one is mine…” O.K. they were not the kind of individuals you’d let date your sister, but, I’d follow them into a hot LZ with no questions asked. Semper Fi!

[@tatsuhirosatou5513]

Hail to The_Rooster yea you can its called cases of ammo

[@gonzo559055]

Love the rifle’s an love the Negaen batt too. ⚔️👍🏼👌🏼

[@revanjagergaming8714]

I bought a Mossberg .270 hunting rifle for $275 new from Walmart, it shoots just over a half minute. With a $59 6-18 power scope. You really can get lucky buying a stock rifle but from what I understand talking to other people who have bought basic Mossberg's I was really, really lucky for get under 1moa.

[@MrSmith336]

[@cajunsmurf4354]

Awesome vid guys, always gonna depend on each individuals idea of accuracy. And Chad, I need a shirt like that.

[@thormusique]

Great show, guys, thanks! Could you possibly post info (and maybe talk more) about that AR you built? I'd love to know where I might get these parts.

[@xnorcal831x]

Do a series of reviews of ar15 barrels from 10.5 out to 18inch. I bought a ballistic advantage hason barrel in 16 inch it shoots amazing I think u would like them.

[@warrenparker6287]

You guys might already have done it, but I’d like to see y’all go over some of the FNFALs and the H&K rifles, surplus and others 🤷‍♂️

[@tatsuhirosatou5513]

For ARs i like blackhole weaponry barrels they run like $350 and the one i built on a colt 6920 receiver set is sub moa

[@Thorsaxe777]

Good Video. Gadgets and gizmos aside. I find that most people don't want to work too hard at accuracy. Instant gratification is what they want. and in a way that is Human to want that. I like what you said and pointed out about the K-31. That rifle is a Marksmanship tool to be used as such. Improving skills is a priceless procession and cannot be bought anywhere. Off subject, Chad needs to start his own reloading channel. Dave.

[@MeMe-fp1wt]

Thank you for the hard work and the great videos. Any idea when the Desert Tech review will be posted?

[@chriszablocki2460]

This video had a ton of food for thought. Awesome stuff.

[@chriszablocki2460]

I'm just going to throw out a question, feel free to ignore it. Can we get a video discussion and maybe testing of 300 blackout vs 762 in an ar15 format?

[@stevekathylane1808]

Very interesting video. Agree you can buy accuracy but what level meets your needs AND can you shoot to the level you bought. I shoot with a gunsmith that builds rifles for customers. He feels that very few of his builds will even come close to the accuracy they are capable of in the hands of the buyers. The buyer is happy and he does what they ask and want to pay for. I know some people who have fantastic shooting rifles but seldom shoot them. I am not sure its not a collector mentality? We all fall in one of three basic categories that can overlap Hunter( weapon is basically tool ) SHOOTER (likes to shoot whether a 22 or whatever -spends money on ammo!) and Collector( loves their guns does shoot some but owns most guns of the groups).

[@Grims1979]

Awesome video man! Keep up the good work!

Need to make a video on what they were explaining about the first gun actually showing how to do it that will be sweet. I love these guys videos(Addicted).

"Only accurate rifles are interesting" - Col. Townsend Whelen, US Army. ("The .30-06 is never a mistake" is also attributed to him) The day I got my AR-15 figured out to the point that the only limit was the 4 MOA dot in the scope covering the target, that was a fine day indeed.

haven't watched the full video yet, but could you guys make a video that shows how much a suppressor affects accuracy at long range, like removing a suppressor during the video

[@jasonrapa7298]

I'd like to see you guys do a 5 guns on the under $600 rifle scope combos like winchester xpr savage axis or i believe 11/111 Remington 700 adl ect such as pros and cons available calibers quality of optic and riffle and what would be a good platform for future upgrades as funds are available. Seeing how not all of us have the pockets to buy a $1000 rifle and put an $800 scope on it
