Pt. 2. 1 mile with the $813.12 budget build

[@manuelporro-vizcarra184]

$812 in equipment, $100,000 in knowledge and experience . Great shooting as always

Dude teaches a master class in practical long range rifle and optics setup in under 45 minutes. Absolutely brilliant!

I'm glad the algorithm suggested this 2-parter to me

[@XRING]

I appreciate you watching . 👍🏼

[@ksilhacek2010]

The amount of knowledge in these 2 videos is incredible.

[@XRING]

Thank you! Much appreciated.

[@thomashoffman7062]

That was the best 2 part long range video I have seen in two years of watching long range shooting, Thanks a bunch I found myself really having fun watching it. I am 77 years old and shot trap and now I am thinking about shooting long range and have a little more fun with the rest of my time left. Thanks Ray

[@XRING]

Thank you Thomas. I really appreciate you watching the series. I hope you have an excellent week sir! 👍🏼

[@TacticalBuffoonary]

$812.12 doesn’t buy your skills ray😂 Nice job!

[@danielmarshall7285]

Just found this channel, I like this guys perspective, I'll be back

[@Timberwolf1Silenthunter]

You have the Skills. It is the Man behind the rifle more often than the Weapon system .

[@YotaDaryl]

Best long range channel on YT. PERIOD.

[@vicdiaz5180]

I just bought a Athlon Argos BTR Gen II 8-34X56mm FFP for $388! Couldn’t be happier with the quality of the glass and the Christmas tree reticle This channel is what got me into long range. Keep up the great content. 👍🏽🇺🇸

[@rideswift]

I have some very high end optics (NF, Stiener, Zeiss), but recently purchased an Athlon Ares ETR to put on my Tikka varmint rifle and I have to say for an affordable scope, it's VERY good, I'm impressed.

[@vicdiaz5180]

@@rideswift same here. The quality you get and tons of features for a sub $400 scope is really good. And the lifetime warranty is just chef’s kiss! Enjoy your scope 👍🏽

That's gotta be one of the best things I've seen all year. Absolutely incredible work, boss.

[@XRING]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@johnknouse8846]

With barrel and bullet technology where it is, this doesn’t surprise me at all. For just over $1500, I put together a PRS ready rifle that consistently shoots 300 yard groups under an inch with my hand loads using Berger 115’s. It’s got a 26” Shilen 1:7 twist 6mm creedmoor barrel, Savage 110 action, MDT LSS-XL chassis, and an Arken 6-24.

[@sjohnson1776]

"Proof is in the pudding''. Outstanding video Ray. Thank you!

[@markreinitz7131]

Enjoyed your video, stumbled upon it and watched both part 1 and 2

[@9HoleReviews]

Instead of MPG, here are looking at $perYard. Great stuff Ray!

[@XRING]

Thanks Henry! I hope you are doing well.

[@sargoii]

You are such a talented shooter and a gifted presenter and teacher. I would love it if you had a series on the fundamentals of marksmanship: breathing, trigger pull, follow through, cheek weld, target acquisition, position and manipulation of rear bag, etc. I know that there are lots of videos already covering this. Ryan Cleckner's for instance, are great. But your down to Earth and clear, step by step no-nonsense approach would be of tremendous value for all of us who enthusiastically follow your channel. Hey, you are responsible for getting many of us into long-range shooting, after all! : ) And I just discovered you are into motorcycles too, I love that R1200 GS!

[@superdave103harley]

This was the best 2 part video EVER brother!!! seriously thanks for doing this!!! very nice for us on a human budget..

[@XRING]

Thanks Dave! Much appreciated. 👍🏼

[@michaelbutler4961]

I think you proved the point. Having fun doesn't need to cost a lot and some calibers do make it easier. Shooting long distances is gratifying.

[@Arc-nl7vc]

Guys I have had the pleasure to meet and talk shop with Ray at Clinton House Plantation at the first Zeiss challenge. Very friendly and down to earth. He is obviously also an outstanding shooter and excellent at making and presenting these videos. Great job Ray, I'm a big fan of shooting on a budget and budget builds

[@XRING]

Thank you sir and I really appreciate that. I am what I am and not any different than what you see on KZbin. 👍🏼

[@jimthvac100]

I subscribed after watching this two part series. Very interesting video.

[@derekedgley5074]

Well it was a most enlightening two part video and really demonstrated your shooting ability even with a low budget rig, very appealing to a Scottish person. 😂 Your content is some of the very best on You Tube.

[@a10sim]

I really enjoyed this video! Thanks so much for bringing us along. Great shooting and congrats!

[@donaldpowers8331]

Well Done!! A true budget build, just proves that it can be done, I may rethink my custom rifles. The 6.5 Creed is popular for a reason, not owning the calibre may adjust my thinking. my 270 WSM and 300 WM need a stable mate.

[@txtexas]

This is a great point that you made Ray. Long range shooting has never been this easy or accessible. This has got to be one of my favorite videos that you’ve done. Thanks for letting us tag along.

[@williamfusco4980]

Outstanding video. I have just recently became interested in shooting at distance. I can say it is addicting once you start that journey. It's an amazing "self- challenge"'.

[@brettb614]

Awesome series! Amazing to get that rifle, with FACTORY ammo to hit at a mile. All the Hornady haters take note!!

[@XRING]

Thanks Brettb614. I appreciate it. 👍🏼

[@Mzzlldrinpa]

Never paid much attention to long distance shooting. This definitely changes my mind. Really enjoy your videos. Keep it up and thank you.

[@emanuelrouse5128]

The anticipation is real! I've been wanting to get out to a long range and test out my build. I'm not ready for this distance yet.

[@maxpayne9880]

Just proves it’s more about the shooter than $$ spent on the weapon system. Awesome job!💥💥

[@erikmcclure912]

You said it!! You can have a High-end gun but if you can't shoot it's a paper weight.

[@LoweKeyPewPew-px9bk]

Great video! Loved the concept.

[@krosos6969]

Thank you for this. I recently decided I wanted to get into long range, but I have a very limited budget, and this proves that it can be done. Of course, if I decide I really enjoy it, then I can always upgrade later, but this will get me started. I will probably spend a little more and go with the Ruger American Gen 2. I enjoy your channel and have learned a lot watching you. Take care.

[@armorers_wrench]

If you can save up a bit more you should really consider the Ruger Precision Rifle. There is a big aftermarket for it and right out of the box its actually really decent from what I hear.

[@XRING]

@armorers_wrench For sure! That is quite a step up and is an extremely capable rifle. 👍🏼

[@Hooligan6]

That coin is worthy of a signature as well! Especially after this awesome knowledge transfer and proper display of marksmanship. Thanks for the vid!

Very impressive process! I have a Savage Axis, and besides the crappy trigger that I had to replace, it's a fine shooting rifle, shooting sub MOA.

[@7.62flavorsoffreedom2]

This really goces me confidence with my rifle choice. Ive been so into splitting hairs with bolt guns i never took a minute to look at whether or not the specific rifle itself is so important to get the job done. Looks like as long as i get something with a decent reputation and a known cartridge learning long range shouldnt be too hard. Thank you

[@XRING]

My pleasure!

[@c-hd5696]

What an amazing 2 part video. Absolutely love it.

[@elijahperez159]

Im new to the show, and im definitely a new subscriber. I just watched both episodes and i can barely keep my eyes open. You just made all this look so easy i have to give it a chance myself. I appreciate your ending words of wisdom.

[@XRING]

Thanks Elijah and welcome! Sleep well. 👍🏼

[@runningwithscissors3997]

I own 2 of those entry level axis in 223 and 308. Both came with the scope with one being a Bushnell. I bought the 223 to plink with and range brass is abundant - a buddy gave me around 200 pieces of 308 to neck down to 7mm-08 so I thought why not. Both have been fun to play with and I would deer hunt with the 308 in a second. But, it boils down to what are you trying to do. I'm no long range or PRS shooter. -Rock on

[@TheRange7]

Fantastic little 2 video series Ray. Your skill level is off the charts. I really enjoyed the heck out of this from start to finish. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this one.

[@johncantrell8904]

[@XRING]

Thank you John and thanks for watching.

[@fireyourrocketts]

This was great, I did enjoy both videos, I am just getting into long distance shooting but since i do not have your skills I try to compensate with the equipment, whatever I can afford, I think it would help. Got me few rifles to this end, couple AR10 I have been putting together for over a year now sharing one lower, 2 uppers, one in 308 and 6.5 creedmore, then also got couple bolt actions, Bergara R14 Trainer .22 LR and Browning Xbolt Target Max Lite in 6.5 creedmore as well; for scopes I got Arken EP5, 5-25x56, Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25X56, Athlon BTR Kronos 4.5-29x56 and Riton 7 Conquer 4-32x56, Bergara rail 30 MOA for the Bergara, Riton Contesa 20 MOA mount, Vortex Medium Pro rings and Arken Low Rings, few other pers so far got an Lonshot L3 Camera and an Atlas BT46 bipod with adapter for both picatini and arca rail. No idea which scope I will use whith which rifle, right not got the Arken mounted on the Xbolt; Everything mentioned here I bought over time and always using the best discounts I could find; I have expended approximately around 6K or maybe a little more; I do not have experience in long precision shooting and think the equipment would help to acquire some and enjoy a little more than struggling with a lower line equipment; I do not have top of the line but I am also not a pro by any means; that and inspiring videos like this shall do it.

[@CFHY813]

Buying the 24 inch threaded barrel left hand version of this rifle from a friend, just got the same optic and a magpul bi-pod... gonna be joining the 1 mile club soon, might need to get more moa out of the pic rail to make it happen but thanks for the video friend.

[@jodyweigle7694]

I enjoyed meeting you today and seeing you hit that 1 MOA target with that "cheap" rifle! Obviously the shooter had a little something to do with it being able to hit at a mile, but you proved it can be done. Great video, looking forward to the next one!

[@carlitosantiago4893]

Great video, Ray. These days it is getting harder to enjoy our rights with the cost of everything going up. I love the premise of getting to long range at the lowest price you can go. It makes it more evident that it is not the tool but the person behind it. That goes for our 2A rights as well.

[@fenderbenderxaddo5974]

Thanks for sharing! I got into shooting long range several years ago but I only have a 1000 yard range. Just hitting the target didn’t do anything for me I had to shoot for groups. Dozens of .5 moa and less out of a Ruger rifle I paid $800 for

[@brockedandloaded6034]

So glad you did this video. This will change minds of some of the long range guys out there. Plus, it will get more people into it. Awesome content.

[@charlesmckinley29]

Ray you HAVE to spend THOUSANDS to do that!!!! 😎. Nice shooting.

[@TheRuttinbuck]

Just saw your part 2. Awesome job on the video and showing people you can shoot long range without breaking the bank. It also should get more people into LRPS which is also great. Keep up the good work.

Great job! I appreciate your time and putting this together for the lucky winner. Edited, I thought I was a new sub, but I've been subbed for a while 😂. Long day.....

[@willo7734]

Haha, awesome couple of videos here! Great shooting. I just recently was able to make my first hits at 1k and it’s the best feeling in the world getting hits at distance. Glad you are spreading the word and showing that it can be done without mortgaging your house.

I really appreciate the detail you went into that. It’s a lot of work you did for the video. I like the way you took time to line up your site taking the bolt out on your first video.. I got a 6.5 Creedmoor Mossberg real lightweight with the twisted barrel and I’ll tell you what this is gonna be really good shooting because if I get the right scope, I got a vortex on there now good glass on it really good so we’re gonna see what it does but give me high hopes so I’ll see what it does.

You just did what Ive been trying to do for 6 months :) I havent had a gun in 40 yrs and i went out and bought an armalite m15ltc16 on sale and slapped a monstrum ruckus 4x prism on it. It shot bad like 1.7” at 50yd and 6” at 100. I tried everything people at the range told me. I bent the trigger spring on the mil spec trigger and polished that up from a crunchy 9lb to almost smooth 4.5lb. I took the slop outta the upper/lower. I took the slop outta the stock. I tried diff muzzle devices. I disassembled everything that didnt require busting a stake and put it back together. I worked on my hold, my breathing, my cheek weld, my trigger pull. I tried 10 types of ammo. All that gained me maybe half an moa at 50. And then i shot a 6” group again at 100 after all that and about 500 rounds. At that point i lost my mind and thought this guns junk. I drove home and put together an ar10 (on paper) in 6.5 creedmore that weighed 8.5 lb for under a grand and had all the parts on the way. The scope showed up first. A monstrum hornet 4-16x50. I had five rounds of 556 left and i put it on the gun i thought was junk and went to the range and shot em all at the same point at 100yds. I couldnt see em and i got talking to a guy that asked me if i shoot his .338 lapua mag. I completly forgot about my last 5 rounds until i got to the car and noticed all 5 where inside of a .52 inch circle. That armalite was my baby. With a baby on the way:) the 6.5 didnt work out (weight fitment feeding). I returned it all. Ive got some higher class optics showing up this week for my baby. But Id still like a 6.5 creedmoor :) Parallax does matter my friends…

[@ronws2007]

Had to sub. Where has this channel been all this time? Kudos for showing budget options. My budget was a little more but it gives me hope. My budget rifle went over 2100. A Mossberg Patriot Predator in 7 mm PRC (cerakote) that I put in an Oryx chassis. A 20 MOA rail and a Vortex Venom 5-25-X56 FFP scope with the Vortex match precision rings at 150 for the set. But I am getting .5 MOA or less on the first two shots, which matter to me, as a hunter.

Very nice setup and thank you for subbing to the channel. 👍🏼
