Underrated channel. I love the scientific approach to everything I've seen so far. This is really giving folks the practical data they need.

I totally agree. The way he sets up the shooting with the target visuals really imprints into my memory too. Love it

These videos have been immensely useful to me. I got a short barreled ar, and the ballistic reticles of Lpvo scopes don't correspond with the lower velocity of the short barrel ar. It is a much better idea to have a battle zero in such an instance. Thanks again for all your knowledge. Much appreciated

I swear, I 've learned something every video ive watched of yours. This series made it so much easier to visualize whats going on by looking at side by side comparisons. Adding it to my favorites to re-watch as well.

Good stuff. I bought both mounts because I couldn’t decide what was more comfortable and useful. I ended up using the 1.54”, because it’s what I’m used to. I guess now I have an extra mount, so you know what that means… time for a new build!

1.70” mounts are also great

Killin it!!! This series is answering so many questions and sharing so much knowledge!

It's important to note that when adding your mount to the rifle, you need to measure the distance between the center line bore of the barrel to the center line of the scope and inputting this measurement into your ballistics calculator. For example: The 1.93 mount PLUS the distance of the center line bore to the top of the picatinny rail gives you 3.14 inches. This makes for a 57 yard zero with this optic height and works very well out to 300yds.

This is about what I expected, great seeing the breakdown and proof! No one else is providing this much data with testing, video and explanations; thank you for the service. Speaking as a vet I can tell you, at least from where I did my training - new recruits would get ahead faster and save a several days of being baffled on the range, by watching a few of your videos before ever pulling a trigger or listening to the trainers we had available at the time.

I know you're too young for the reference.... But after watching you drill steel over and over at insane ranges with all kinds of calibers, when you held up that cardboard drawing to describe zero again I heard that quote from Rocky IV in my head.... "He's not a machine. He's a man." I don't know how a guy with your arsenal and your skills keeps coming off as "a regular guy".... but you continue to deliver. Never get an art department .

I am really enjoying your videos. Nice equiptment and great place to shoot keep it up

First-time viewer, here. For those of us with "combat arms hearing." I truly appreciate your great articulation, to include your change of inflection, and use of pauses in your presentation. Bravo!

Great video. I’d love to see the differences of these with a 100 yard zero because that’s where many people zero their LPVO’s.

It would be pretty similar at 100. Maybe a couple inch variance at 300yd between the different optic mount heights because it's such a flat zero the drop (for point of aim point of impact) would be more significant. But with a reticle you essentially should collect dope so you can hold over. Battle zero is more for things like a red dot where there is no measurements in the reticle to know where to hold and maybe with a magnifier where you could hold center mass and get hits. Taller the optic, the more lobbing of the round you're doing. So with something like a unity mount(2.26" height) you want like a 60-70 yd zero for the smallest variance above and below holding center mass out to 300. So what I mean is he's only using the lpvo for the magnification to get as accurate a comparison as possible.

If you zero at 100 yards on an LPVO, which most are supposed to be zeroed at you follow the BDC of the reticle.

@@PistonDrivenGun that’s a very fair point. My buddy’s dad has one and we found that if he zeroed a farther mark the margin of error was smaller. I think we went with 200 and it was a little off at 100 but a lot closer at 300

I like the 1.70 height personally, I'll have to try this test out when I get back to a range that I can do test at. Thanks for the video as always.

You have a great way of explaining these theories. I’m new to shooting with an optic. (1-6 LPVO) Primary Arms with the nova retical. Your recent videos have helped me find the best zero for setting up my Ruger SFAR.

Loving these videos! Can't wait for the rest of the series.

Good video man you put in a lot of time putting out this information for us.

Great video as always, this channel is gonna keep blowing up

Once again dude, great valuable gun content that no one tests.

Thank you. Loving the drop vids. Great to “see” the trajectories via impact at different ranges. Great job on your channel. Congratulations!

Another great video. Very well put together. Thanks for the great info!

Thanks for doing all these comparison videos. It's nice to see these results on video and you're building a very nice reference library for us to come back to.

Man this is just the information I was looking for! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge!

Great info again! Thank you!

Love the way you present this information!! Very useful.

Thanks again for doing the work!!

Yet again, another great information packed video!!! Seriously underrated channel! Keep it up!!!

Criminally underrated channel. Quality information that I use to make good decisions on how I set up my gear- keep it up my dude!

Fantastic idea and differences in results were bigger than I expected. Thanks man.

Awesome video. You're quickly becoming my favorite channel. Keep up the great work.

Appreciate the details and comparisons.

Dude you’re becoming the standard for these videos it’s great

Firstly, great video as always On your closing comments, this being a battle zero, as I see it, it makes no significant difference to it's intended purpose Also, when zeroing at 35, 34 or 50 yards, I think you should true your zero to the far zero distance E.g, zero at 50 and true at 200 Waiting for the rest of the series!!

Love these videos. Can't wait to test this one as well for myself.

Another excellent video.

Great video, as usual. I am really enjoying your channel. As a new shooter, to long range, I am learning a lot from your channel and shortening my learning curve. Thank you.

Thank you for making these videos. They are very helpful. Everything is explained very well.

Love these! So much good information, good data! God bless!

Thank you for doing such a thorough job! Great info presented in such a way that even I could apply it to my set-up. You rock! I don't have a mullet but I love the Mountains and Merica!

Great video! Glad you also confirmed why I don’t run the high mount. I can explain why all day, but you sir have put great content to it.

I never gave much consideration to the optic mount height but now I have some new insights! Thanks!

Yes

excellent video

Good stuff, definitely dig the series. Gives me a pretty decent idea of what I could expect outta my setup, I'm runnin a suppressed 13.7 with a primary arms plx-c in a unity mount. A little taller then 1.93 I believe but probably pretty close. Keep up the awesome work bud and god bless from ole Carolina.

Great content. 👍

Just bought a 1.70" Condition One lpvo mount, we would love a Pt. 2 down the line. And Battle Sight zero at 100 yards and 100 meters

Good job young man🤙🤙🤙!!!!

you're the best.

Love my Zero Gravity Summit 1.93 mount!

Puttin in the work my ninja….keep it up and it’ll only get better…gotta get my dd on though and run through its paces…love to call dd and just order a 20” 7.62 upper as the v5 I never see..also like the delta pro chassis and like to slap a mod70 barreled action in 1…👊🏻..wish you the best holidays my friend….matt

Great Video 💯 Thanks 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Nice drawing lol. Thanks for the content. Amazing video.

This channel teaches me the intricacies of optics velocity’s and the bullet flight parts of shooting. Johnnys reloading bench teaches the reloading part. What else do we shooters need!?

That was a video! Good job man! Well done. The end was my question about adjusting the zero yardage… and your answer makes sense. I’m looking to go to 1.91” riser trying to relieve my neck in the prone with my kit that is thicker with level 4 plates single stack mag and pouches. With no bipod I struggle getting getting good sight picture and check well. Things to think about for me thanks

Great video as always. Which bipod are you using?

Went exactly how I thought it would go . I personally use 1.7 or 1.93 Mount for my LPVO . For red dots / HWS I also prefer 1.93 to 2.26 height mounts . All around I'm a huge fan of 1.93 .

just got an lpvo, it came with a 1.5 mount. first range day after zeroing and it was a pain to get behind that scope. i couldn't get in the eye box fast and i felt like i had to lean over my rifle to get into the eye box. tried a friends lpvo mounted at 2.04, instant bliss, even shooting table mounted out to 300m was so much easier. decided to split the difference a little and go for a 1.93 adm mount, no regrets... im 6' 3", so my rifle setup needs to accommodate my big head and long neck, not the other way around.

20” carry handle gang still winning 🤘 Stoner knew wtf he was doing.

Great topics and explanation, only thing I'd recommend is to put the data in a chart and display in the corner

I’ve experimented with a 70 yard zero with a 2.26

Nice 👍👍

I just discovered your channel and have been enjoying it. What foregrip are you running on your Colt? I've been looking for something to use on my Sig with the A-post sight.

I just suggested this on the last video. Thanks. But just so you know the 36z shoots way high and farther with a higher optic. But at 100z it floats longer with a higher optic. Check the data on a ballistic calculator for 100yz

Alright, you got me. I'll just go ahead and hit that subscribe button. 😄👍

Location makes everything different. I live in East TN, where people think the sights need to be as close to the bore as possible. But in this area, most hunters get their kills at point-blank and rarely have to shoot beyond 90M. The real fun is the unit of measure argument, where they assume you have brain damage if you use Mils rather than MOA. The competition crew have so many opinions, it is better to turn off your hearing when around them. Many of them believe in misleading those they could be competing against. I have always tried to keep my scopes around 2" above the bore, because of the size of the scope. Long range scopes need a 1" riser to fit on a AR. A topic that needs addressing is twist rate. Most talk about stability, but they have no clue. I have a Savage 110 in 270 Win, with a 1/10 twist rate. I noticed in reloading for this gun to get every shot fired to cut one hole, I had to load at the max pressure rating for the gun. For 30 years, I tried to overcome the accuracy issue with lighter loads and failed. Now I am learning that a 1/8 twist would have fixed the problem. The best accuracy I could achieve with this Savage was a 4" group at 300M. I have moved on to a 6.5 Grendel.

👍

👍👍👍👍

Seems about right to me.

Good show as always 3M. Ya got got anything on the .50 BMG?

It seems like ideally you’d just get to test your individual ammo. Personally I have a BDC for my 5.56. It’s a shorter barrel and running the numbers it lined up really nicely with a 7.62 reticle. Then I took my reticle and set the elevation based off the 300 hash and basically zeroed it at that distance on that mark, lessening the error through the range of marks. So my 200 mark might actually be 235 or something that doesn’t really matter and my 500 mark is more like 488 or something, instead of dead nuts at 200, leading to 415 or something at 500 if that makes sense.

@@JGoodZX6R it makes the BDC 100% work. You could make a mil reticle kinda work with speed drop but probably less precise than a BDC.

Hey brother would be super interested in some videos of your hand loads vs some of the custom ammo you get from offline.👍 think you would give a great comparison

These are the questions that keep me up at night! LOL I am also wondering what the zero on a GBRS Group mount would do with 2.91 optic height. That is what I currently switched to and do not have the time yet to take it out to distance farther than 100yards.

I will keep standard 1.54 mount. Head redundancy positioning and ability to shoot in more positions including Prone.
