Helped me so much ❤️❤️❤️

Where in the U.S. can you buy a Sauer 200 STR? I have been looking, but only see them selling in Europe.

Diagrams could've been on the screen a little longer even while you're talking. Good video. Thank you for sharing

Everyone has their favorites. Mine are Leupold Dual Dove Tail and Weaver Top Mount. YMMV.

What magazine options do you have for the Sauer STR? If you have well priced factory ammo available then 6.5x55 will be excellent choice. If you want a good tripod without spending too much money I'd recommend a Leofoto with their MA30 head (copy of the RRS anvil), definitely better than a levelling head or a ball head. The Leofotos are much nice that some of the cheaper tripods out there. The MDT Ckyepod is pretty much the standard bipod for PRS these days, the double pull ones are nice but really expensive. Tier one from the UK do their ATAC bipod which is very similar but a bit cheaper.

I think this is a bit too simplistic . I use a 3.5-28x riflescope and would recommend that for many a hunter. I nearly never shoot at 28x, but use it tons to observe at that magnification.

If you use a large enough caliber it doesn't matter

shot placement number one is going to damage both or at least one of the upper front legs and an signifficant amount of meat is lost.

I was interested until he mentioned the military

A person should pick a round that works when everything goes wrong not when everything goes right. A .308 cal. 180 gr. bullet at between 2500 and 2700 is the best. Sensible recoil and blast in a light,short rifle. Ammo is available everywhere. I only wish there was a high quality 4 power scope available to put on top of it. A 2x7 scope is the next best thing. The 2.5x8 Leupold is a nice scope also. Biggest mistake hunters make is buying a scope with a big objective lens and a top power number that is unnessary. I adds unnessary weight to their rifle. As does a long barrel. A 20 inch barrel will get all of the performance you will ever need out of a 308 or 30-06. And will be much nicer to climb into a tree stand with or sneak thru the brush with. I have come to like stainless steel rifles with synthic stocks. Tough and low maintiance. Remember stainless will still rust if not taken care of. My son in law found that out the hard way with his new Kimber Montana rifle. A couple of more things. I want controled round feed on a rifle. It always works. That can not be said for push feed rifles. I also have three position safetys on all of my rifles. Two position safetys can be a pain in the rear if they don't lock the bolt when in safe position. When you go to shoot and the action is open with no shell in the chamber is not a good thing. Also the "slide" safetys like on Rugers Americans and Mk1 rifles have been known to freeze when cold and wet. Ask me how I know that. They also have a terrible habbit of "clicking" when used. A safety that clicks is a deers best friend. Another thing. Don't use WD40 to "protect" your firearm. Use it only to displace water not to protect while hunting. Wax lube like Boeshield protects the best of all of the lubes. It sticks to the metal, doesn't smell and doesn't wash off like oil. I suspect wax baised chain lube would be just as good. Don't use silicone on ANYTHING when hunting. It stinks. Put a balloon or a piece of electrical tape over the end of your barrel when hunting in the rain or the cold. If you get water in the bore and it freezes you have a dangerous situation. Protect your hearing by wearing two stocking hats. They push your ears against your head and cover them to reduce the affect of the blast when shooting at game. Use a "fox" call to call deer. It has worked for me more than once. Use after shave to create a trail for the deer to follow. Use a decoy. Use hearing protection. Treat all guns as if they are loaded 100% of the time.

Real-world kinematics beats rote recommendations every time! Three and a half minutes of pure, functional, demonstrable logic. Good to see you posting again, my friend. Hope you've been well!

Super god pointe! Som nyjæger er jeg pt. meget optaget af, hvordan jeg bliver en bedre skytte. De sidste par uger har jeg netop været optaget af placeringen af ens trigger finger. Men de fleste nævner kun ens finger pad, som om one-size fits all. Så denne video kommer på det perfekte tidspunkt for mig. Tak for en fed kanal, som jeg skal udforske meget mere!

Thanks for cracking straight into the good info. Thanks 🙏

Thank you for the Video. Good explanation

No matter what the tool is, be it a file, a firearm or something else entirely, it's important to experiement and find whats most comfortable, efficient and mostly importantly, works for you.

regarding the stock, there is an option available from Sweden as well- the Phoenix Chassis by LRD Sweden. I think it’s about the same price as the vision, for anyone interested. 😊

Nice setup! I think that 6,5x55SE is still great cartridge for prs and long range shooting and I will get one for myself too.

"best" all-around ... and then it's got to meet budget constraints. I've got a 2.5-10x42. A little narrower on the zoom range and probs not nearly good glass as from Swarovski, but it's certainly better quality than the price would indicate and was for me affordable.

Great video thank you!

Like that a lot 👌🏻👌🏻

Exceptional analysis. Very good way of evaluating cartridges. If one is constrained to factory ammo choices and availability, then the 280 might not be the best choice. If you're a smaller framed hunter, then the 7mm-08 is a wonderful choice particularly if you're hunting woodland areas and CXP2. For CXP3, I'm more inclined to go with at least the 30-06. That said, in general, I completely agree with the recommendations. I like that you brought up velocity vs. diameter and that higher sectional density with larger diameter is more useful for upper-end CXP2 and CXP3 game, while velocity plays a larger role for mid-sized CXP2 and smaller. 7mm-08 and 280 are wonderful cartridges. In my experience, for the same energy levels, I shoot heavier bullets with larger caliber better than the small fast cartridges. In my opinion, optimal selections are monolithic bullets (e.g., Barnes tsx) in: Woods CXP2: 30-30, 350 legend, 7mm-08, 308 (Top picks: 30-30 lever action or 7mm-08 bolt action) Open country CXP2: 25-06, 270win, 6.8 western, 280AI (Top pick: 270win bolt action) Woods CXP3: 45-70, 30-06, 338 federal, 358 win, 35 whelen, 9.3x62 (Top picks: 45-70 lever action or 30-06 bolt action) Open country CXP3: 30-06, 6.8 western, 280AI, 7mm rem mag, 7prc, 300wm, 300wsm, 338wm (Top pick: 7prc bolt action) If you only have one rifle, then 30-06, 3x9 scope will handle 99% of big game hunting. Winchester M70 and CZ 550 fan here. Thanks for the great video.

The 6.5 creedmoor, like all caliper, has its pros and cons. Not so much as the caliber used, but shot placement, bullet selection, and calibers limits.

awesome detail, ty

Please, explain to us why you skipped the oldest ones; the 6.5Swede & 7x57Msr!

He has a British accent so what he says must be authoritative. 😀

The Texas Heart Shot is the go to shot placement for hogs here in Texas

All fantastic advice for double lung shots. I have always shot 2.5 - 5CM below every one of these scenarios and have taken out the top of the heart so they bleed out very quickly. None of my harvests travelled more than 7 meters most less than 3 and some dropped right where hit. Thank you for a very informative video.

What a about the 30.30 win

Thamks

Or you could just not

Any long range center fire is great if shots kept 300 meters or less Shot placement is the key

You aren't OCD enough if you can call it OCD. It should obviously be CDO since that is alphabetical order. 😇 Sorry. Nice details. I sat on one deer for 30 minutes, finally decided I was ready to pull the trigger, harvested a forky buck that I would have sworn was a doe. 😞

Glad to see you back with a new video! I'll spare regaling you the full story of my just-past deer season (way too warm, very little need for deer to move). The bottom line, the ONE opportunity I had to harvest a doe was done in by my own second-guessing. I added a new 6.5CM rifle to my lineup five months prior to the season. Lots of time at the range (100hrs+) getting it dialed in, getting used to how it behaves, the works. Nothing even questionable about the hardware. No problems with < 1 MOA groups at 200yds. Utterly consistent. Beautifully flat-shooting. Outstanding low recoil. Two does wander into the field I'm watching. A tick over 300yds. The wind picked up. Consulted the BC app to get the right amount of windage ... and promptly second guessed EVERYTHING and rushed my way through setup. Not only did I second guess it all, but I managed to dial in windage in *the wrong direction*. Literally watched the impact into fresh, fluffy snow on a shrub, cleanly missing the only shooting opportunity all season. So.. yep, I'm wholly onboard with a checklist and process!

Thank you!
