PSA 7.5” 300 Blackout | 2 year update

[@jeffhuntley2921]

I built a 8.5” 300bo s bunch of year’s ago but it shot 6” groups at 50 yards and was expensive. PSA never seems to disappoint

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

Unless you’re shooting tens of thousands of rounds in a year you’re gonna be fine. Just upgrade the barrel after

[@n0ob4u]

ur comment doesnt make sense not bashing u or anything but a 6inch group at 50yards doesnt seem right i would expect a 2inch group or less at 50yards if so someting ir wrong with ur barrel

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

@@n0ob4u he was saying the expensive one shot like crap and the cheaper PSA didn’t disappoint

Great video brother. Glad your sight mark works First hand way back in the day mine didn't. They probably fix the issue I had from back in the day. Otherwise they wouldn't still be around. 300blk suppressed brother.. 😉

[@austinl3126]

I like the sightmark for the price and what it is. Holds zero just fine. Only two issues i had with it (opinion) the reticule selector switch is a little shifty and the other issue was when it got ran in a defensive course the wire glue came off the underside of the housing and the wires were jumping around and rattling in the sight. I still have mine and run it on a 22 plinker now😊

[@ahumm8280]

I have 2 Sightmark R specs that are still going with the original batteries for almost 3 years. I have both on shotguns but 1 shotgun took a dump. They are still going strong and have been great at holding zero. Tho they are not Eotecs I dont regret buying them!Best budget red dots I ever bought!

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

@@ahumm8280 haha that’s great. I always get shit for it but it’s made me more adamant about not replacing it

[@DanosGarage]

I picked up the PSA 7.5" upper with the intent of switching out the barrel to a Faxon 7.5" with a 1:5 twist. Looking at a PSA pistol lower. I run that same Sightmark Optic on my current AR and have not had an issue with it. Thanks for the vid!!

Thanks for the video. I just got 7 inch, havent ran it yet. Ive had the 10.5 for 2 years and put about 1k thru it. Taken a few deer with the AAC 110 gr black tips, works great. I'm going to run 500-1k thru the 7 inch and use Vmax 110s for HD. Probably just throw flip ups and a light on it.

I gotta say don't drop the sightmark. I was taking it off my rifle and dropped it about 4 feet high and it was never able to stay sighted after that. I did get it replaced for free and have been using the new one with no problem. Just have to be careful with it lol

@@ArtByKevinZapata it’s really just about QC and longevity. They run and will work, but it’s kind of just a matter of time before you’re replacing barrels and BCGs compared to higher quality brands. Most of my PSA and budget stuff are range toys and have others for more serious “duty” style work

Same, I’m balling on a budget. It’s been solid and keeps tight groups even with my lack of skill

[@44Mag]

I have seen that most PSA 300 uppers cycle fine with supersonic ammo, but most do not cycle subsonic ammo. Do you shoot much sub ammo in yours? If so, did you have to swap the spring or buffer on it?

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

I don’t because I’m not running a suppressor just yet. Eventually I’ll have one for it but for now no experience with the subs in this

[@44Mag]

@@RidinDirtyOutdoors - Thanks. From what I can see in watching videos, it will not cycle subs without a suppressor. (And even then, it is not super reliable without doing some tweaking)

@@44Mag yea typically have to play around with gas settings once you get into all that. Adjustable gas blocks and the correct length gas system are key.

@@seanmurphy9331 The sightmark is an absolute budget optic. Do get it for most anything and maybe life dependent. I own one

[@seanmurphy9331]

@ the multi reticle system is a lever that physically moves the reticle. If it’s out of place just slightly it can mess your zero up severely and you are no longer accountable for the rounds you send down range. I’ve ran these optics hard like you would if your life counts on it and they do not hold up, the reticle systems should be a button not a lever like a kids slideshow projector. Not to mention I’ve had them loose zero from just being taken to the range. There are budget optics like primary arms prism optics that are durable and you can put your life on. Recommending this to someone is terrible advice and irresponsible. I’m an army cav scout vet and that’s not saying I’m an expert but I’ve got experience. There are way too many better options than this for a duty optic that is still affordable. An open emitter holosun is a better option than this.

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

@ no, on the M spec it is NOT a lever. That’s the base model sight mark stuff

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

@ I agree with 99 percent of what you’re saying but the M-spec isn’t like the other stuff sightmark puts out. Is it a Trijicon, eotech? Aim point? Absolutely not, but it isn’t the 35 dollar sightmark either

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

@ im a Marine….no one asked for credentials especially when your naming components (reticle selection lever) that this optic doesn’t have
