Top 5 Non-AR15 Rifles

[@tfbtv]

I’m so firsty mom If my “7 Reasons the AK-47 is Terrible for SHTF Survival” video taught me anything, it’s that AK enjoyers have a hard time picking up subtle humor, probably due to FAS. (Link below. Seriously, check the comments to that video, they are incredible, especially the people who think that I really believe Jesus Christ was born in the United States [and he was btw].) So, a couple of points of clarification for your oldest child to read out loud to you before this video begins: 1) I like AKs, and I think I have 12-13 at this point. I did a video on them when I had about 10 last year. 2) I consider Brandon Herrera a close, personal, friend (not in a straight way). 3) I love all of you deeply, even you brainlet AK owners. So now, enjoy the list. I think you may be pleasantly surprised by #3. - James Why the AK Sucks video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXTCoWyCdrhperc

There is not a single throwaway on the list. I have to admit that I would have never given the Ruger Mini-14 a second glance if it wasn’t for the mods that James added to the rifle.

It is a sub moa gun and I know there were issues at first but Sig seems to have worked that out. I will ding it for not being fully ambi because I like to practice left hand shooting and it infuriates me that the new Switch blade m400 is. and it was not fully supported with all the extra that Sig promised. But still excellent gun hope I can get the spear soon.

I think the Ruger American Ranch is a pretty cool bolt alternative.. More accurate than all of these, takes ar mags, easy to mount optics and it's light as all hell... Plus it's only a few hundred bucks.
