Magnum Mayhem! Barrett MRAD vs Ruger Precision Rifle at 1 mile!

[@dipschmidt4116]

I have a first generation RPR in 6.5creedmoor. It got run over by a vehicle and stuff got bent. I was honest and sent it in for inspection and repairs. They replaced multiple parts and not a single dime was spent out of my own pocket, including shipping. It was my only experience in working with Ruger, but they went well above and beyond what was necessary.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Very cool, awesome they were able to get you taken care of hassle free! I actually cant think of any major firearm company that I've worked with that didn't provide awesome customer service. It's great knowing support is always there if you need it.

[@FirearmTutorials]

I have one as well. Very under-rated firearm! I think Ruger firearms in general deserves more credit for their guns.

[@dennisligma4958]

Same here with an sr22 pistol that had light hammer strikes and feeding issues with the magazines after i brought it home from academy sports. Ruger paid shipping and replaced almost the whole gun! Since then it has never failed hundreds of rounds later and did not cost a dime and only took maybe week and a half-two weeks! Ruger for the win!!!!

[@PastaLaVista.]

I had a mirror polished (almost flawless) vaquero that I sent in to get the barrel properly clocked. They sent it back after it looked like they took a buffing wheel to it with the coarsest compound they had. Totally ruined a finish that I spent literally dozens of hours achieving. I will never send anything in to them again and will probably not buy from them either, since I am self imposing a ban on warranty work.

[@luckymanham302]

The finish on Ruger pistols is awful. I have an LCP II that rusted the first day of having it IWB on me…

[@tallguyfits]

I think the most impressive thing is your ability to talk to the camera and explain the action clearly with a consistent cadence. It’s very reminiscent of classic 50’s and 60’s instructional. Very relaxing.

Yeah, I think if you are able to get a rifle that can hit targets at a mile, if you want to start charging thousands more, I need to really feel the difference. If I'm going to spend 5k+ for a rifle, the only reason it shouldn't be be putting rounds through the same hole is user error or crappy ammo.

[@davidkahler1311]

That has to be one of the nicest places I've ever seen to go shooting. BTW..I just went out to the desert in So. Cal. and made my first hits on a milk jug at 1000 yards using my RPR chambered in 6.5 creed. I was so happy. Next stop 1 mile.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Just got the rpr in 300prc. My first long range rifle. At the price I was willing to try this long range stuff out. I dont know if I ever would have spent the money for something like the mrad. Maybe if I feel like Im doing good ill up the game a little but for my first one Im happy to have this. Looks like most people happy with theirs. I don't think I'll even be able to get out past 300yrds until spring lol. Just not much room to stretch out around here and too little free time to go very far. Cant wait.

[@T20-c8f]

Dude I just discovered this channel. Great job brother. This is amazing content. It’s awesome to see people use super high quality rifles and optics but also having the skill to take the rifle out to its potential. I get so sick of seeing guntubers show off all the Gucci gear and make videos swearing how great it is but never showing what it’s capable of. Probably because they should be practicing not buying more expensive crap. Love this. Also the scenery reminds me a lot of home, and I’m home sick after the move to florida in April so that’s a nice touch to see someone shooting outdoors and not at a range. Colorado was amazing for shooting

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Really appreciate the support! Hoping to build my channel on the premise I’d actually running the various pieces of gear. I’ve noticed a lot of trends on most of the main stream gun channels and I think I’ve got a unique niche in a mixture of nice gear, cool scenery and ability to effectively employ the gear to its limitations. Stay tuned for more content just like this in 2023!

[@TacticalBuffoonary]

Great shooting my man. Those rifles are sweet. I have the rpr in 300wm and I’ve taken it out to a mile with 220g bergers and H1000. I have a Leupold mark 5hd 7-35x56 set in an F3R machine mount with and an accutac Sr5 bipod with the arca mount. It shoots great and I love it. I have around 5k in this rifle and I can’t imagine spending more to get the mrad and only getting the gun. The mrad is sweet for sure but Its out of my price range and I don’t have a need for a multi caliber rig. Your channel is refreshing and its great to see people actually taking their rifles to distance and not 100 yard groups. Im subbed and Im a fan. 👍

Enjoy the video. Got the following wishlist. I’d like to get perspective on your long range target. That would set you apart from similar shooters. You could do this with a shot through a zoom scope showing your base and then zoom in to your target or maybe do a sped up cam shot on your quad as you drive up to the target. Second is I’d love a shot looking through scope occasionally so we can see your reticle on target and 25:10 how you make adjustments on the fly. This might take more gear than is practical but tossing it out there. Keep up the good work.

Much appreciated! I believe the MRAD and RPR would be very capable shooters with .308 but .308 would make shooting past 1000 yds much more difficult. .308 just really starts to fall off past 1000 in terms of velocity making consistent performance very challenging.

[@davidwalker9035]

Thank you for your response. Would 6.5 creedmore be the way to go?

[@richnegs5828]

Thanks mate, getting back into hunting again after years off it. Bit out of touch with the development of rifles after so long, Ruger was one that I always had in my mind. Pretty happy with what you’ve said. Cheers from Australia.👍

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Tell you what, out of the box rifles have improved big time in just the last couple of years. Tons of great options on the market now that really make it easy for someone to get into a decently priced solid long range performer. Appreciate you taking the time to watch!

How does the barrel change work between a 300 PRC and 6.5 CM? Do you have to change the bolt as well with one being a magnum bolt face and one not?

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

You know that's a great question and something I should put in a video. Barrel change is super quick and simple. There are 2 tension screws under the barrel just forward of the chamber. Loosen those so you can slide the old barrel out and the new barrel in. Yes the bolt has to be swapped when you change calibers with difference bolt face sizes. That's also super quick and simple and when you buy conversion barrels the matching bolt face is included. Super cool design.

[@JohnStalker-ed5dx]

I have a MRAD and it’s stupid accurate and I think worth the money . I have respect for Ruger for building a much lower budget rifle with great accuracy . Not everyone can afford a Barrett or Accuracy international rifle.

[@HogHunting]

Awesome video and great shooting! Question… I need to buy a scope and I’m stuck between Vortex and NightForce, what makes you choose NF?

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Oh man this is a tough one haha. I’ve owned multiple scopes from both companies and have used customer service from each company. Both manufacturers provide scopes that perform very well. Ultimately though it comes down to which models specifically you are looking at? I ran a razor gen II 3-18 for a while but decided to sell it because in my opinion it was way heavy for what it was. On the NF side I’ve run multiple nxs (3.5-15x f1s) scopes and most recently the atacrs. At the moment I run the NF atacrs because I believe they offer a lot of scope for the money. To me they have really nice glass, and I like that they are based next door to me in ID. Also I typically buy my scopes on the used market and in my experience when you buy a used NF you can resell it for exactly what you have in it. Since I’ve been happy with NF recently I haven’t had a reason to try anything else. All that said though, either company will provide you a really nice optic for your rig.

[@wpnmstrmk4484]

@@MountainsMulletsMerica you are being polite so I will say it for you, Nightforce is better.

[@paybacksucks5]

It would be cool if they had the Nemo arms Omen to compare aswell

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

I’ve actually reached out to them for product…. To date nothing has come of the request

[@AllisChalmersMN]

Where did you get the extra weights for the RPR? I recently got an RPR in 338 Lapua and I want to add some weight to the front of it.

Fantastic fantastic FANTASTIC video.

Great video my friend , Ruger has been getting a lot better over the years.

❤ Love it watch that video I have two Tikka call them the twins 6 .5 and 308 My longest distance is 600 yards I am not one to make elevation adjustments I use hash marks Even at 600 yards, very encouraging I learned a lot keep up the good work

Great video. Beautiful range. I hope better dedicated audio and cameras are in the works to bump production value.

For sure, I've been able to improve audio in future videos through using a microphone setup. Camera improvement is in the future plans but not sure on the timeline yet. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@lisamitchell1355]

My dad was a ww2 vet who was raised in Michigan and hunting and fishing was a necessity, and I watched this man hit deer with his 30.06 up to and probably beyond 1000 yards and this was over 50 years ago. Him and his extension could get the job done.

I like your videos, only problem I have is lack of price. Please let us know how much these riffles are.

20:13 for the conclusion

[@Dissame6730]

Went ahead and subbed since I seem to be finding this channel frequently, lol. I really do like your videos, they feel more real than most other comparisons or demonstrations. I'm getting into long range with a bergara hmr pro in 300 prc, topped with a viper pst II, my goal right now is just to get zeroed and get a dope book filled out to maybe 800-1000 yards. Then maybe go on a elk hunt, or teach the coyotes a lesson around my house.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Awesome, really appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel. Sounds like you’ve got a great rifle to get started in the long range game. 300PRC makes shooting out to 1000 yds feel easy!

[@TheDesignSong]

Question: at 8:50 when shooting the MRAD, I noticed that with every shot, the bolt moves towards the open position. Can you comment on this?

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Yeah I’ve noticed this as well. No clue what it’s about, I’ve shot hundreds of rounds with this barrel so I don’t think it’s an issue.

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

Great shooting, im running the same bullet hornady 230gr a-tip and was wondering if you could share your load details, my Christiansen Arms MPR can only push them at 2714ft/s out of 75.4gr of h1000 unless my load is too mild...

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

2714 fps sounds a little slow to me given both of my 300PRC rifles are running in that 2900 fps (+/-) ball park pretty easily. I'm not sure what the youtube policy is on sharing exact load data so hit me up on Instagram @mountainsmulletsmerica if you are interested in more specifics. The 230 ATIP load for both rifles uses ADG Brass, bullet is jumping right at .090" (mag length), CCI mag primers and 78ish grs H1000 powder. For reference, the hornady reloading manual shows a max of 77.5 grs for this combo.

[@Syxtus_outdoors]

@@MountainsMulletsMerica thanks for the info ill message you on Instagram, 2714ft/s sure is slow and from reading online there is definitely room to improve velocities.

[@lennonpresto1174]

Awesome setups …Is that scope on the ruger a ffp or sfp? And what do you recommend for 1000 plus yards?

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Both of those are FFP scopes. Really anymore I don’t see the point in a SFP scope for any long range shooting, I swapped to FFP about 8-10 years ago and have never looked back.

[@cshaffer8258]

I’ve been thinking about buying the Ruger Precision and it looks to be a solid performance rifle. Especially since it’s around a 2k price tag. I’m new to long distance shooting. Would you recommend the 300 WM or 338 Lapua Mag? Thanks

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Not sure how far you intend to regularly shoot the rifle but I’d go 300WM without question. Lower recoil, much cheaper to shoot and depending on bullet will likely offer equal or better ballistics than the 338LM with regards to wind and drop. If you haven’t already, check out my king of 1 mile video where I compare 300prc (very close to 300wm) to 338LM out to distance. I really struggle to see where a 338LM would be a better choice than a solid 300 magnum when it comes to target shooting. Just my opinion though.

How many grains of H1000 are you using for the 230 grain A-Tips in the Ruger 300 PRC?
