The NEW Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR Special Purpose Rifle

[@armorers_wrench]

Take a drink every time the youtuber says "it's sub moa if you exclude the flier"...

[@Joseph.D.Marley]

Take a drink every time the KZbinr shoots a mil scope, but refers to the accuracy of a rifle in moa

[@freshjnew]

I am already entering acute liver failure

[@ANRDesignLLC]

Hahaha

[@AnthonysOutdoors]

What they should say is, "the rifle is more accurate than I am." Most people blame the rifle, ammo, ect. before they ever blame their bad shooting.

[@armorers_wrench]

@@AnthonysOutdoors Yeah sure but man with a rifle that is meant to be highly accurized why does nobody ever strap that bitch up in a lead sled and truly get to the bottom of the manufacturer's accuracy claims? Show me the mechanical capability of the rifle with no copium whatsoever.

[@gl8743]

I LOVE how it's a thicker rail and not slim like the trend seems to be now. I also love the arca along the entirety if the rail also. The rifle checks every box so far. Question though- Where did you get that Kill Bad Dudes T shirt from? Lol, I want both the rifle and the shirt, lol.

[@etizzle915]

So basically a knights at home rifle. Plus some hype.

[@thomasrfoster4503]

Deer love it when I have a flyer. But I keep reminding them that my rifle is a sub moa gun.

By the way, you did a great review.

[@billydanzz]

The rig is cool but I'm more interested in those 85 grainers! Can't wait to hear more about the performance from them...different barrel lengths, gel, etc.. I suspect sadly that they'll be around a buck-fiddy per round.

[@lukakapyro]

They are. I have around 500 or so of them. Haven’t shot yet tho. They are in stock tho.

[@roberthutchinson2856]

Theyre about moa in my aug

[@seanwhite304]

I have some Barnes Match 85g . It shoots 1.25 moa or better if I do my part . I was using Centurion MIDWEIGHT HF and BA 223W 14.5 Hanson Premium Black Series Barrels .

[@roberthutchinson2856]

@@seanwhite304 yep can confirm i am getting around 1moa for 10 shot groups out of a 20" aug

[@JNOSNOW]

Cheating on the accuracy. Fliers are part of the group so its more like a 1.5" gun which is fine for an AR

[@scottzagger]

More like it’s a sub minute gun and he’s a 1.5 minute shooter.

[@JNOSNOW]

Maybe, maybe not.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

Nah

[@JNOSNOW]

I mean unless you can actually prove it on video. Nothing I saw on this video says it's anything under like 1.25". Very similar to my BCM 2 gun build with similar PSA 77 ammo.

[@scottzagger]

They come with test targets. And it’s a proof SS barrel, I know how those shoot.

[@alfredjr2k556]

Ridgeline Defense. Roger that.

[@MrCashewkitty]

Damn, I love my home built, high end, SPR but if Ridgeline is making one it's gotta be fire. I don't know if I'd trade my WOA barrel for a Proof but man, I love that rig

[@hgrueber38]

Great video as always. I'd love to see how this compares against a 16" build with whatever parts you like.

[@ckrigill3844]

Most Ar15's in this price range are just selling quality, this rifle brings quality and innovation. Out of my budget but worth it

It's cool but a touch over priced, I see $2500-ish there. Now if they only offered it in 6 ARC instead! Great optic choice, I have the same glass on three different rifles now. Gotta include those fliers though, can't be hand picking your groups like that, it skews the true group data.

[@afdude2220]

Great work explaining the zero stop on the ATACR. I just picked one up recently and this will help.

[@LONEWOLF_LCD]

Wonder how that Badlands ammo would work out of a 1/8 twist barrel

[@ANRDesignLLC]

Test it

[@Gnolomweb]

I'd rather just build my own. nice lower / rail tho

[@MrShortanswer]

I wonder if it would be easy or hard to have this re barreled to a chrome lined barrel.

[@TheMikeshannon]

It would be easy, but that's like buying a corvette and putting snow tires on it.

[@shannonmarcantel7993]

Never know what to think about barrel break in because world class bench rest and F class shooters claim it’s a myth. Now they’re cleaning and stripping barrels between individual competition rounds and shooting hand loads. They also expect 1/4 moa or the shit can the barrel. Maybe what they’re doing is comparable in any way, idk. They’re also shooting bolt guns which makes a difference.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

My bolt guns are quarter minute guns

[@shannonmarcantel7993]

@@ANRDesignLLC consistent 1/2 minute gas gun is damn impressive

[@Flashhideronly]

Love how much work he puts into it. All that fancy stuff and so much thinking. While I’m out here having fun and just shooting 😂😂😂. I’d be like dude stop doing that and just shoot, this is supposed to be fun. Here, zero it with this ammo and stop looking at numbers, now let’s go shoot this cheap ammo at targets under 100 meters

[@ANRDesignLLC]

the point is GP matches out to 1k.

[@RandomWrongDeletion]

"That is why no one will remember your name."

[@nickb_rock]

Why would you choose the same zero distance for an optic that sits nearly 2 inches above your primary optic? Your trajectories at different distances will not correlate

[@ANRDesignLLC]

its roughly similar holds. I won't be using the T2 past 100 anyway

[@tacticalwarrior5178]

[@jzaden10]

Its a nice rifle but i would like to see it ran through the ringer before i will spend that kind of monwy. Especially now a days. A bunch of companies build nice rifles for about 1k to 1.5k less and can do about the same. I am not saying anything bad. Its just theres so many out there now and for the price. Well im sure you understand.

[@thepracticalrifleman]

600 rounds to break in? BS.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

neat

[@thepracticalrifleman]

@@ANRDesignLLC it’s a Proof 416 series. Stuff is actually pretty soft and it comes pre-lapped from Proof. Barrel break-in is a myth. Velocity variation is a thing…temperature, lot#, how dirty the bore is, etc. most rifles will “speed up” after fouled vs clean, but velocity remains fairly stable throughout its life until the point it is badly eroded and fire-cracked. Check out Erik Contina’s videos on barrels “speeding up”.

[@SmackedInATL]

600 round "break in" okay

[@mr.martyr8573]

For that price point, I feel like they could have at least thrown in some goodies. Lol Ya gotta think, if you're 3200 in with just the barebones, you got another 2-3 grand in other shit. Optics, muzzle device, suppressor, sling, bi-pod....Hell they could have at least threw in some fuckin flip ups. Lol

[@ANRDesignLLC]

I'd agree on CTR stock WITH Arisaka fixings over a raw ctr stock, better grip like the Magpul XL over the B5. No one wants flip ups on a F1 gasser. Muzzle device is a waste of money since everyone is going to put their own stuff on. I'd agree on maybe the 20 round Magpul mag with a +5 extension, cleaning kit, extra zero targets. stuff like that for a hair more added value.

[@jayworley1583]

$3,200 base price. Um, NO! Be that as it may, I'm sure it's a great gun.

[@cblman]

5rd groups are not a measure of the barrel's accuracy. 10rds are. Flyers count. Velocity deviations in the ammo at 100yd don't matter.

As an owner of both, I would take this all day over a virtus, spear LT, or a scar 15/16. This will trash those in accuracy and don't get me started on the cons of those two platforms.

MCXs are trash. I'll die on that hill. Sold mine for a Super Duty. The new Lts have the same damn issues previous generations had. Un excusable

[@medicgills1055]

Just sold a Spear LT upper and built a full SPR for the price of just the upper. Won’t miss the 2+ moa of the LT with match ammo for sure.

[@dhena8112]

It’s a nice rifle no doubt. I will say though I built a bartlein spr profile barrel with a vltor MUR upper, SOLGW rail are 419 arca rail under same SSA-E and the other AR stuff for around 2k. So this Ridgeline rifle to me seems overpriced but as long as you’re happy. I did have to add shim and used some loctite 609 for good measure to the MUR for a better upper fit. I had to heat up the upper to fit the shimmed barrel extension.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

I think this rifle should sit around the 2.8k mark not the 3.2k for what you're getting.

[@Kolden999]

Damn that is a sweet build, What would be your build with an unlimited buget

[@dhena8112]

@@Kolden999 I don’t think you can get much more performance from an ar15. Honestly I probably over spent. The level of accuracy my rifle has is almost a moot point considering the capabilities of 5.56. I can regularly hit man sized steel at 800. So if my gun is 3/4 MOA that’s 6” 🤷‍♂️

[@RandomWrongDeletion]

@@dhena8112 The advantage of this rifle over your build in my eyes is gonna be POI shift, your built gun has none of the features the RD15 has to prevent that. For a GPR setup, a build like yours is fantastic but for an SPR I'd rather spend the extra cash to get the superior product.
