    Reminds of when I worked in a gun and archery shop for many years back in the day. So many people are full of shit. I used to brag about my furthest successful shots on deer. Now I'm proud of how close I can get to them. Shooting animals at long distance isn't hunting it's shooting. Also, I'm reminded of a particular passage in The Book of The Rifle, by Jim Carmichael. Jim was talking about competitive shooting at long distances. He walked out just in front of the target and checked the wind there. A season veteran told him, now he's getting it. You can't do that while hunting. Nobody should be shooting animals at 600 yards. That's ridiculous and unethical.

    I’ve been hunting elk , moose , deer , bears and goats for over ten years . I run mid range vortex and bushel scope and the only time I’ve had a scope get knocked off is when I had my 35 whelen fall out of the truck and land directly on the scope . If you use good rings and torque properly your scope should never go out of zero without a fairly major hit

    Not a pro shooter, from my experience though, there are 4 variables to accuracy. 1)the quality of your platform 2) the quality of your ammo 3) weather 4)you. 97% of the accuracy comes from you. Blame the other 3 all you want, but at the end of the day, its up to you to learn the gears limitations and your own.

    This is a simple problem. If your rifle is 1/4-1 moa capable, then it becomes about the ammo and your trigger discipline and simple fundamentals check your zero before you hunt/shoot a challenge like this. Reloading makes a big difference in your group sizes if you spend enough time perfecting loads for whatever rifle your gonna use. All respect to the guy with the super fancy AR but, without calling out a few things, that was hard to watch. If you are missing 6-8 inches high at 100 yds you are doing something very wrong, if the gun has been properly zero'd.

    The 200 yd zero (maximum point blank zero) is from before there were handy affordable range finders. Dialing your turret for every distance in the field is less practical when you're essentially guessing at the range. It also works well in varied terrain where even a slowly walking animal might be out of sight before you can get your range finder out and dial in the elevation correction. Also, while the method you're showing is a good one and works well, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking a rifle hunting without following that up with a couple groups shot at 100 and 200 yards.

    As a long time shooter of the 7mm RM, it's a personal favorite, has never let me down. I now also have a 7mm PRC and it's simply an improved version of the RM (no belt, better shoulder, appropriate neck). I think the 7 PRC is the best of the 30-06, 7mm RM and 300 WM all combined. If the 30-06 has killed all big game in NA (it has, I have the book), the 7 PRC will do it just a little bit better. With the higher BC bullets (same weight), the 7 PRC out performs the 300 WM when distance increased. I don't get hung up on "anything new is better" but if the cartridge has a belt, it's antiquated and outdated. I have other chamberings including 270W, 30-06, 7mm RM, 308 (2) AND 6.5 CM but the 7 PRC can do anything they can do and better. I like simplicity and 7 PRC rules the day! I'm not hung up on short actions, the 6.8W and 270 WSM are on life support.

    It's basically a Rem 700 clone, which is a good thing. The twisted fluting on the barrel is cosmetic and a distraction, at least to me. The stock is rubbish, reminds me of the tupperware stocks in the 80s when they first came out. If I owned a Seekins (which I would not), the first thing I would do is replace the stock with anything from McMillan, Manners or AG. There is nothing I like about the rifle except the receiver and trigger. For the money, there has to be better options, I really don't see the attraction. Edit: After further review, I see that it's not really a Rem clone. I like the company but simply can't find any reason to like this rifle.

    Its crazy how bad people are. I would be willing to try this with a borrowed rifle. At 14 i was shooting against my dad on who could hit more thumb tacks at 100 yards. He had a Remington 700 7mm mag and i had a Winchester model 70 30-06. Just basic deer rifles

    I did the same thing when I was a kid. Dad never noticed with pellet guns, but when I started shooting with optics he noticed me leaning over the stock. Turns out I was cross dominant. At age 6 he switch me over to my left shoulder. I've been running left ever since!

    Too bad right on video a prs champ placed a barrel stub in a cup of classic and it very clearly visually as well as measured with a mic showed serious erosion. The better question is why with plenty of great carbon removers would you use a chemical that is proven to etch 416 SS. You now have a number of action manf putting out warning labels to not use clr. It's like when Erik makes a video on never chase the throat erosion then he proceeds to show you he absolutely chased the lands. What does he think he is doing when he finds a range in jump that groups well and he sets it to the least jump (longer bto length). Then when the erosion passes the jump maximum for that node he increaees the bto to reestablish adding powder as needed to restore the velmnode. Sir that is literally tge definition of chasing the lands. You want to keep within your jump node and vel node. Chasing the lands once you fall out of the top end of the jump node you reestablish at the bottom of the node again and reset the vel node to the middle usually. Now if you want to change the definition to mean checking after every round or group and reestablish even tbe smallest change regardless of being still in the node then sure. But that's moronic.
