Schmeisser SP-15 Straight-Pull AR-15 With Primary Arms SLX-1x Scope At 300m

[@LittleRabbit1138]

Love seeing the kids out shooting with you! Would be fun to see them shoot a match sometime

[@emoryzakin2576]

I loved seeing the ammunition comparison, you just can't tell some people that 55gr can match or beat 77 even in a 1/7. And yes even in the states we can appreciate such a neat and beautiful rifle🤘

[@rslover65]

Only at shorter ranges though. Try shooting 55 at 600m or so. It'll get there, but a 77 or 80 is far better.

[@matt291]

Love the cyclops I have one on each of my primary AR rifle and pistols.

[@chadkhl1690]

Looking forward to seeing your take on the comparison between 1x prism and red dot!

[@mtnbound2764]

me too, i have both and find the prism more precise

[@simonjones6128]

Lovin the strait pull action I kinda find it funky great job Mikey

[@MrWarwick15]

Yes, it was interesting Bloke! Thanks, Chap.

[@wrxs1781]

I enjoyed the on range video, and also the rifle seems impressive. I would like to see how the rifle performs with a more conventional higher magnification optic, but your groups @ 300 were impressive.

[@teggy689]

What an amazing rifle set up. I'd love to have one of these in Australia. We have a few domestically produced straight pull ARs, but unfortunately, they are all left side charging... or pump action. So you can't fire them while in a sling, which makes them terrible target rifles.

[@gustavesoucy-breton6841]

i'd love to see some form of mad minute with that straight pull ar-15, it looks like it can be fired very quickly.

[@TheAlexagius]

For when you want to feel like you're back in the UK without actually going

[@Sman7290]

For what it's worth, the ACSS Reticle wasn't designed to be a precision reticle. It was designed to be a very versatile and quick combat reticle, which it appears to be doing a very good job of.

[@CAPNMAC82]

It's suitably geeky to keep me happy 🙂 The audio artifact of just _how_ that bolt/spring combo wants to curl my hairs a touch, though. It's not rat tart bad, just a bit like having spam, baked beans, and sapm without the baked beans, though.

[@CheshireTomcat68]

Would like to see a next-generation shooting video with all the kids who want to shoot.

[@carlcarlton764]

Oh, not a regular AR but one of these funky straigh pulls. How very Swiss! ... 😉

[@maximilianmustermann5763]

Schmeisser is a German company though. They are known for their competition-grade AR-15s around here. Not cheap, but good. I didn't know they make a straight pull AR.

[@robertl6196]

Was the Mk 262 made by Black Hills? And the kids keep growing...

[@BlokeontheRange]

Yup, it was :)

[@richardruddick4995]

A straight pull in Switzerland. Who would have thunk it. 😂

[@shirayluo2213]

Can the sp15 barrel use 5.56mm? tanks

[@BlokeontheRange]

Yes, because it all fits within the CIP .223 Rem specification...

[@philthy8150]

Would love to know ammo prices over there. I find the range in price is staggering

[@lolinskimk6]

Does it come with iron sights in the box?

[@BlokeontheRange]

Yes

[@peteslinn482]

Is that the old (prone to breaking) handle, or the updated one that screws into the bolt carrier?

[@BlokeontheRange]

The old one

[@MauroConoci]

Hi there, I'm a fan of your channel. Could you please tell me on which 300m outdoor shooting range you shoot? Many thanks

[@BlokeontheRange]

That there is Guntelsey

[@JohnTBlock]

Interesting, the lack of change in accuracy between 55 gr. & 77 gr. at 300 M. I believe the proof of the pudding on the 77 gr. Stuff is out at 500 meters, and beyond...

[@jakeweston8616]

Hey BlokeotR, have you heard of the new Primary Arms slx 5x? It doesn't seem to be getting as much fanfare as the slx 3x. I hope that you will find it at least vaguely interesting enough to do a review on it at some point.

[@BlokeontheRange]

I've heard of it, but my initial impression is that 5x is a bit much for a fixed power optic. I've been working with the 3x and it's great though, check the lastest video on the L2A2 SUIT fail.

[@PapaSchultz74]

You should tey some 62 or 69 grains. The 77 are a bit to much for the barrel twist imo.

[@BlokeontheRange]

Optimum twist for 77gn SMK is around 7.7". The debate is always between 7 and 8...

[@PapaSchultz74]

@@BlokeontheRange exactly. The schmiser has a 1in 9" so 62 gr would be optimal and 69 good enough.

[@marie-noellebaechler1433]

Thank you for this video. May I ask you why you used the SLX-1? Is it because it is acceped in the 300 meters ranges, because they are non magnifying? It may be very relevant in a KD Box, or even at 50 meters, but I have a lot more doubts at 300.

[@BlokeontheRange]

I used it cos I had it and didn't have anything more suitable :)

[@marie-noellebaechler1433]

Ok, thank you for your answer

[@custardthepipecat6584]

Shing shing!!! I wish we could get some of those rifles in Oz 😺

[@robb7370]

can you confirm did you run 5.56 through this rifle? I don't see any record of this being a Wylde barrel? I have just received my SP15 and just interested as I have not yet bought any ammo for it.

[@BlokeontheRange]

5.56 = .223. Don't let the Fudds tell you otherwise.

[@robb7370]

@@BlokeontheRange ah just it has a higher chamber pressure, so you had no problems then I take it. Many thanks for the reply.

[@BlokeontheRange]

Actually look at the specs. It doesn't.

[@EnterTheFenix]

Bloke, why you out of breath from laying down? you alright mate?

[@BlokeontheRange]

Normal breath control while shooting?

[@Rhynome]

Well I found it funny.

[@Burningwhisky96]

Interesting firearm

[@zoiders]

Your grouping has always been spot on but ive got a suspicion you are canting the rifle just a smidge. You always seem to go top right.

[@BlokeontheRange]

An unperceived cant would be to the left though, and in any case compensated for by the sights. I grew up shooting 300, 500, 600, 900 and 1000 yds, so canting was a biiiig no-no that was drilled into us (cos it screws with your windage zero when you change distances)

[@zoiders]

Do you think it might be your left hand on the toe of the butt placing just a bit of pressure on and pushing the muzzle up right slightly? Obviously that is how you are meant to shoot from a bipod or bag as it let's you fine tune elevation with just a squeeze of the v of your hand.

[@BlokeontheRange]

I don't think so...

[@tsclly2377]

your 77grn is spiraling.. not enough twist.. You need a special barrel .. like 6 to 1 or tighter for 77.. try reloading with 68grn Hornady for 7 to 1.

[@BlokeontheRange]

Wut? 1:7.7 is the optimal twist for 77gn SMK, the debate is all "do I choose 1:7 or 1:8"? I'm not shooting the 90 gr VLD nonsense...

[@rslover65]

I use 80gr in my 1in 7.7 RRA barrel, no "spiraling" there. Stable to 600 yards. Haven't had a chance to try it farther.

[@Chlorate299]

Something I've wondered about straight-pull ARs is have they changed the design of the bolt/breech interface to give a bit of primary extraction, or is it just that it has a big lever and if you use good quality ammo it works well enough without?

[@BlokeontheRange]

No, there's no primary extraction and no way to add any internally into the system. If you're not using crappy ammo it shouldn't be a problem if the rifle's clean. People have made external camming lever systems but they haven't found much favour.

[@Chlorate299]

​@@BlokeontheRange Thanks! Yes I suppose the AR's bolt head design isn't conducive to it without some fairly funky machining, which would defeat the purpose of the thing entirely.

[@geezerp1982]

would a straight pull AR with a 5.56mm nato chamber be more reliable , in terms of extraction over the wylde chamber???

[@BlokeontheRange]

The throat configuration will have no impact on extraction, people worry too much about trivial differences

[@geezerp1982]

@@BlokeontheRange which chamber do your pefer 5.56 or wylde ???

[@BlokeontheRange]

I don't worry about trivial differences with overlapping tolerances ;)

[@kaveman9]

Why the 1x rather than the 3x? As you say, 'it's not a red dot', so what's the benefit of no magnification? Good shooting!

[@BlokeontheRange]

I've got both now, but I got the 1x first cos I wanted to see what the fuss was about and to be able to do a comparison with a red dot.

[@kaveman9]

​@@BlokeontheRange Looking forward to your thoughts on the 3x. PA has been dumping open box units, demos from SHOT/NRA/reviews I suppose. The 3x were just over 200 and I bought scads of them mounting them now on just about everything. Seems almost perfect for WWSD clones.

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

So it’s basically a Ross rifle in ar form lol.

[@1lostinspace]

its not the click its your ammo change and wind

[@BlokeontheRange]

There was no wind there, certainly not 2+ MOA of it...
