i dont know why some people are complaining. cuz i know that not just anybody can hit a target at 100yards. not even 1000yards. and with a old gun too!
another thing is i have been reading that at about 800 yards or so the 168 gr have trouble with keaholing have you experiened this? i would like to use 168s for my 308 but everyones telling me to use 175s. the reason i dont want to use them is its hard to get them to stay supersonic out to about 1200yds
@runingblackbear My 30-06 760 is a 1967. Pump action. Farthest I even hit, disregarding shot group, was ~530 yards. I thought that was a hard shot. Now let's look at what you are saying. You are saying at open sight *I did it with a scope* somebody put a 1 inch shot group on a 1000 yard target? I call bullshit my friend.
@mxrida97 Not that loud, just a real destinctive sound. You can only hear it out to about 10 yards outdoors, but everything around you has to be dead silent to hear it.
This mic was probably pointed in the direction of the magazine, and focused on the ping when the clip shot out of the magazine, making it seem alot louder than it'd be if you were actually standing there with your regular ears, sorta like amplifying it.
If you can shoot this well with an all-USGI M1D, I really hope you're competing with the NRA or CMP! I hope your son is, too. I remember shooting M1's when I was 12 years old and getting rocked by the recoil, but I had a lot of fun with it! Good shooting and thanks for sharing.
@ifUreadThisyourGayXD If you pause at 0:21 you see that the scope is actually mounted off to the side of the receiver so the rifle can accept the clip. They put a fat leather cheekpiece on the buttstock to offset the shooter's face enough to look through the scope.
WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT READ THIS!!!!! NO SERIOUSLY DON'T!] you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of yo
those are confirmed kills. Alot of hathcocks kills were not confirmed. And if you actually think that mythbusters is the end all of debates youre a moron. everytime I watch that show I get pissed off cause they dont do their homework. Forget all the bullshit. are you actually telling me that a 30-06 wont penetrate a scope with two lenses at 500 yrds?
@jesse324able1 Clearly you are not a weapons expert. In an attempt to educate you, this is also an authentic WWII-Korean war rifle. Check out this same rifle in another video I posted on it, titled, “1,050 yards M1 Garand (Springfield M1D sniper rifle).”
@jesse324able1 Do you have any idea how hard it is to obtain just the original scope for that gun, and the headache to mount it on perfect, and then obtaining an original verified M1 Garand from that time period, now put it all together and you have the complete package as a sniper rifle for that gun.
@jesse324able1 More capacity and semi-auto capability at the cost of a little accuracy, overall this weapon is considerably more versatile. It pwnt the Germans in WW2 for a reason, and it started the trend towards automatic rifles.
Very nice, I use my 30-06 for 1000. And I use a Mosin Nagant for objects out to 1500. I have a buddy who shoots a .308 [reloaded, T16 Titanium steel type bullet, some crazy specs that he makes when he is bored. This is what happens when you get your PhD at 21 in Astrophysics - you tend to test all the theories on your guns lol.
@runingblackbear How about you look it up and post the reference here.
One-inch group, open sights, unaided rest and with an original WWII rifle, yea right.... Considering the current modern bench rest world record with a custom rifle is a 5 shot group at 1.95 inches (Google FCSA event Lee Rasmussen 1000 yard record).
@mag30th I can only imagine your reaction when he said open sight shots at 1000 yards... If i was you I would of told him stop playing video games....
@runingblackbear at 1000 yards, a 308 has a minium group of 4 inches, and thats if it was really good percision rifle, locked in a vice, no wind, staple tempiture, basicly conditions you will never see but dream of if you do percision shooting
@CHOPERUS23 So in basic training they were firing out to 1000 meters? I highly doubt that. How can you identify the enemy at 1000 meters back then with iron sights?
Nice video. I mean no disrespect when I say this. Your son should position himself behind the weapon not to the side. He might be a good shot I don't know. You can see every time he takes a shot the weapon pushes his right shoulder back and then he loses his sight picture. Get behind the weapon and breath then hold your breath then squeeze the trigger. Don't let the weapon control you, you control the weapon.
@Alexrhone2011 Thanks and no problem. I think he was 11 or 12 then, just having fun with it. I want them to enjoy shooting first then work on the basics. He's 15 now and shoots very well. Thanks.
@ruku871 the bullet breaks the sound barrier before it leaves the barrel. After it leaves the barrel it's constantly slowing down, what you could see in theory is the bullet "breaking" the sound barrier as it slows down to subsonic speeds.
SWEET VIDEO! You can see the actual vapor trail of the bullet on the left hand side of the screen. Incredible shooting man! And what kind of ammo were you using? thanks
Hi Mag30th, thank you for sharing that with us. I have just bought me a fully restored M1D this week. Along with a M84 scope and a T37 prong-type suppressor - I guess yours is the M2 cone shaped hider, right?
God i love the sound of the m1's PING . Its a real shame i cant have one here in Aussie land , As i would have one in my gun safe . I do have a very nice 1942 lithgow SMLE mkIII , All matching number's.
During World War 2 what was the longest confirmed sniper kill? On the history channel a few of the American snipers said they shot out to 600-700 but they didn't think of taking a 1000 meter shot. That is a good trivia question, what was the longest sniper shot of WW2.
@mag30th The longest confirmed kill in WWII was 1167 yrds in the countryside of Warsaw Poland. Just keep in mind its a hell of a lot harder to hit a moving person and get a kill shot than a stationary metal plate
@mag30th I cannot recall the name right now but I know it was a russian sniper that hit a target at around 1,000 yards. This during WWII with limited ammo and rifles. At the time a 1,000 yeard shot was insanely difficult.
In afghanistan in 2002, a Canadian sniper held the record for 2 mile shot with a 50 cal, and within 6 months supposedly a British sniper broke that record with-if you believe such things - a 3 mile shot - I do not know what gun and whats specs.
british sniper has the record with 8120 feet or just over a mile and a half. he used a 338 lapua and shot 2 afghan terrorsts or "tourists" as george bush would say.
@semiautoriflelover not sure about WW2 but vietnam war Carlos hathcock killed 93, one shot right through the enemies scope and took the top of his dome off. they didnt really confirm distances back then mostly cause the longer shots end up in places you would NOT want to go to do so. But Carlos won the wimbleton cup 1000 yrd competition with the same Win. model 70 in 30-06 he killed 93 men with in vienam. im sure some of them were close to a 1000
Myth busters did a segment on hathcocks famous Scope shot, and they even pulled the Scope in closer to only 100 yards away... And they never could get the bullet to break all of the glass and go all the way thru the scope even while hitting the scope dead center everytime. At the end of the show they called it Myth BUSTED!
@155Millimeter BULLSHIT. The scope that Carlos hathcock shot through only had a couple lenses in it similar to a modern day red dot rifle scope. the one on mythbusters was OPINION. They were shooting through a scope with modern optics with multiple fat lenses. next.
Myth Busters are as legit, as they can possibly be. They wouldn't try to go out of their way to discredit hathcock... Especially since they are a "Highly funded" T.V. Show who has funds to get the exact same Scope model, or easily have it duplicated. Just like the Myth that Hathcock had the most confirmed kills in Vietnam, that was another myth! NOT! See U.S. Army Sniper SSG. Adelbert F. Waldron III with like 109 confirmed kills. Two each Myth's BUSTED!
In fact! I just went over to watch that video again, and saw Myth busters didn't do just one segment on the the scope shot! They did two segments, and I did not see the second segment. On the second segment they "FINALLY" got the bullet thru using an modern day armor piercing round! LOL! So now I will go research and see what round hathcock used.
@FloridaSnookHunter NO they did a 'SNiper Scope revisited' with the correct scope. Only with an Armor piercing round at point blank range could they shoot through thte scope to the eye of the shooter.
@semiautoriflelover I suppose nobody cared at what distance he did the kill if the nazi officer's head got powned :) ,but i think it was possible to shoot effectivly at targets from about a 1000 meters away
@Nadiaang I watched the interview with many WW2 American snipers and they seemed to be amazed at the guys now a days going past 800 meters. They acted like 1000 meters was out of the question. Maybe they had a rule not to go past 800? You would have to be careful to make sure you were aimed at an enemy at that range, with todays scopes and equipment they can see quite a bit better to confirm target.
@semiautoriflelover Though most precision rifles are still bolt-action, a considerable progress has been made in rifle design. Most modern precision rifles had free-floated barrels, contact between hangduards/bipod and the barrel places the barrel under strain, and negatively impacts the consistency of pts. of impact. Moreover there was no match ammo back in WWII, so contemporary snipers shot accurized standard rifles fed with ball ammo.
@semiautoriflelover Finally the last bad thing about wooden stocks was the fact, that they made the rifle prone to the wandering zero effect (the wooden stock is deformed by heat and humidity variations thus exerting strain on the barrel, and shifting the point of impact).
@semiautoriflelover well snipers would usually be tactical killers so the closest n most accurate so that thier would be less to no casualties but thats what i kno i bet thier is one but i guess i will have to look into that :P
@semiautoriflelover Whaaat? Did you know that in a recorded instance WW1 US marines shot their Springfields with iron sights at around 800-900 yards, accurately?
@45calibermedic I wasn't around back then and never heard any stories. I know the Russians lied all the time so they most likely would claim they had a 2000 meter sniper kill.
@semiautoriflelover Matthäus Hetzenauer (December 23, 1924 in Tyrol, Austria - October 3, 2004) was a German sniper in the 3rd Mountain Division on the Eastern Front of the World War II, who was credited with 345 kills. His longest confirmed kill was reported at 1100 metres.
Hetzenauer trained as a sniper from March 27 through July 16, 1944, before being assigned to the 3rd Gebirgsjäger Division, issued both a K98 rifle with 6x scope and a Gewehr 43 rifle with 4x scope.
@mag30th the hotter it is the faster the round goes,less pressure, also there is an old trick that the snipers would use they would lay the bullets on the ground and let the sun heat them up giving them a few hundred feet more.
Hi! Impressive shooting and video! I have just bought a 1954 SA Garand and would love to know how you scoped your rifle. Obviously a side mount (which I would not mind)- is there a commercial mount available? The only one I know of is sold by Brownells and it does not look like there is clearance for loading and ejecting an enbloc clip.

@semiautoriflelover not sure about WW2 but vietnam war Carlos hathcock killed 93, one shot right through the enemies scope and took the top of his dome off. they didnt really confirm distances back then mostly cause the longer shots end up in places you would NOT want to go to do so. But Carlos won the wimbleton cup 1000 yrd competition with the same Win. model 70 in 30-06 he killed 93 men with in vienam. im sure some of them were close to a 1000

Myth busters did a segment on hathcocks famous Scope shot, and they even pulled the Scope in closer to only 100 yards away... And they never could get the bullet to break all of the glass and go all the way thru the scope even while hitting the scope dead center everytime. At the end of the show they called it Myth BUSTED!

The Sniper that Myth Busters used to make the shots to bust the myth was Canadian Sniper Rob Furlong.

@155Millimeter BULLSHIT. The scope that Carlos hathcock shot through only had a couple lenses in it similar to a modern day red dot rifle scope. the one on mythbusters was OPINION. They were shooting through a scope with modern optics with multiple fat lenses. next.

@FloridaSnookHunter
Myth Busters are as legit, as they can possibly be. They wouldn't try to go out of their way to discredit hathcock... Especially since they are a "Highly funded" T.V. Show who has funds to get the exact same Scope model, or easily have it duplicated. Just like the Myth that Hathcock had the most confirmed kills in Vietnam, that was another myth! NOT! See U.S. Army Sniper SSG. Adelbert F. Waldron III with like 109 confirmed kills. Two each Myth's BUSTED!

In fact! I just went over to watch that video again, and saw Myth busters didn't do just one segment on the the scope shot! They did two segments, and I did not see the second segment. On the second segment they "FINALLY" got the bullet thru using an modern day armor piercing round! LOL! So now I will go research and see what round hathcock used.

@155Millimeter the history channel did a much better documentary on Carlos scope shot.
FloridaSnookHunter 9 months ago
@FloridaSnookHunter NO they did a 'SNiper Scope revisited' with the correct scope. Only with an Armor piercing round at point blank range could they shoot through thte scope to the eye of the shooter.

@semiautoriflelover I suppose nobody cared at what distance he did the kill if the nazi officer's head got powned :) ,but i think it was possible to shoot effectivly at targets from about a 1000 meters away

@Nadiaang I watched the interview with many WW2 American snipers and they seemed to be amazed at the guys now a days going past 800 meters. They acted like 1000 meters was out of the question. Maybe they had a rule not to go past 800? You would have to be careful to make sure you were aimed at an enemy at that range, with todays scopes and equipment they can see quite a bit better to confirm target.

@semiautoriflelover Though most precision rifles are still bolt-action, a considerable progress has been made in rifle design. Most modern precision rifles had free-floated barrels, contact between hangduards/bipod and the barrel places the barrel under strain, and negatively impacts the consistency of pts. of impact. Moreover there was no match ammo back in WWII, so contemporary snipers shot accurized standard rifles fed with ball ammo.

@semiautoriflelover Finally the last bad thing about wooden stocks was the fact, that they made the rifle prone to the wandering zero effect (the wooden stock is deformed by heat and humidity variations thus exerting strain on the barrel, and shifting the point of impact).

@semiautoriflelover well snipers would usually be tactical killers so the closest n most accurate so that thier would be less to no casualties but thats what i kno i bet thier is one but i guess i will have to look into that :P

@45calibermedic I wasn't around back then and never heard any stories. I know the Russians lied all the time so they most likely would claim they had a 2000 meter sniper kill.

Hetzenauer trained as a sniper from March 27 through July 16, 1944, before being assigned to the 3rd Gebirgsjäger Division, issued both a K98 rifle with 6x scope and a Gewehr 43 rifle with 4x scope.

@mag30th the hotter it is the faster the round goes,less pressure, also there is an old trick that the snipers would use they would lay the bullets on the ground and let the sun heat them up giving them a few hundred feet more.

Hi! Impressive shooting and video! I have just bought a 1954 SA Garand and would love to know how you scoped your rifle. Obviously a side mount (which I would not mind)- is there a commercial mount available? The only one I know of is sold by Brownells and it does not look like there is clearance for loading and ejecting an enbloc clip.
