Silenced Budget 308 Rifle Part 2

Bigshooterist Logo Gear at: www.FaceBook.com/GunTestVids

In this second part of our "Suppressed .308 Rifle for Under $1K" Project we test it at 200 Yards. The purpose was to have a "Shootable, out of the box" .308 Rifle package for $1K or less including Heavy Barrel, Scope, Bipod, Sound Suppressor, and Synthetic Stock. (No, price doesn't include transfer tax) In Part 1 we function tested it at 100 yards in a snow storm. Part 1 can be seen here: http://youtu.be/beB9Mhv4mJc After our testing is concluded we will have a full spec sheet and contact information where you can also purchase the same package.

wow. 3 moa. pass.

[Bigshooterist]

Good eye. With that "throw" it was around 3MOA. With that said, it was a full value wind, changing directions from 6 to 9 to 3, on a tippy portable bench in sub freezing weather with numb fingers and ball ammo. I believe the rifle will perform much better than that, especially with good ammo and warm hands, not attached to a shivering body. :-) But, we don't guess or assume, we test. We test in all climates and conditions, just like real life. Don't write the system off yet - Jeff :-)

great videos man

[Bigshooterist]

Thanks!

[David Lönnberg]

Well the good luck was frozen, but the skills stayed! I dont have good luck so I depend on skills! Thanks for the video Jeff!

[Bigshooterist]

Roger that David. We train and test in all conditions. Not all "real world" performance is needed when it is sunny, calm and warm. - Jeff :-)

[Patrick O'Dell]

Does the Sub 1000$ price tag include the tax stamp on the supressor?

[me2ontube]

not a bad setup for the price but how about some product links please

[snipe1963]

Yes, a supressor, which has baffles inside it, like a muzzle brake, which absorbs both the recoil and the flash. The can over the baffles is where the sound suppression comes from.

[Jarrett Beier]

It won't seem so if you're comparing it to what you see/hear in the movies.

[rogeryermaw]

at s.t.p.(standard temp & pressure) at sea lvl sonic speed is about 1100 feet per second. most .308 muzzle velocities are much higher than this. 2700 fps is a common speed for a 20" barrell with a full load in about 170- 180 grain. the bullet with heavier grain and less powder loading can travel much slower and not make the sonic crack.

[rogeryermaw]

if he was using subsonic ammo it would be much quieter

[MrNelsonButterscotch]

Hey, where did you get your Marlin x7vh from? The ones with threaded barrels seem to be a little uncommon.

It's an amazing looking setup, and great video. I definitely want to add this to our collection (for the right price)!

[olson795]

Its a suppressor not a silencer... just drops volume and spikes in the sounds thus removing direction so it is harder to tell where the shot came from. You will still hear it.

[Bigshooterist]

It's actually VERY quiet. Unfortunately the audio doesn't translate very well. You will notice no one is using hearing protection and it is very comfortable.  Next test will be a suppressed vs unsuppressed and Subsonic ammo vs Supersonic ammo, I think, to help people see the difference.

your sgl is probably 3moa at best
