- Here's a good looking, well performing AR-10 setup that punches WAY above its weight.
Link to the Arken SH-4J: bit.ly/3yfFPYT (Make sure to use code "texasplinking" for max saving on everything on Arken Optics)
PSA Sabre-10 in 6.5 Creedmoor, plus Arken SH-4J & mount come out to well under $1,700 for the setup. Ammo used was Hornady 140 ELD-M, OSS HX762Ti suppressor, and Harris bipod.
Thanks for watching!

Excellent showing. Your whole rig cost less than my Windham Weaponry R16SFST-308 AR-10 in 7.62 X 51 mm NATO, before scope and before the Magpul Gen III PRS stock I put on it. That is a non-adjustable mid-length gas block on mine.
So, yeah, PSA is making a good showing.
Can you link this exact rifle? I can’t find it with the hand guards in 6.5 billet. Thanks
@@TexasPlinking in regards to the scope, are you running the MIL or MOA, and VPR or VPF? I’m not sure what the VPR or VPF means. Thanks
PSA is out here for the people. Love those guys
I took my 11.5 psa 556 out to 3&4 this past weekend for the first time! I had previously only gotten out to 100yds but with AAC 75&77g ammo I got first round and consistent impacts on an 8in plate at 300& 400 yds i was proud of the rifle and myself for working up accurate load data on 4dof without a Chrono
Heck yeah it’s a great feeling when first stretch out a rifle and hear that ding🤘🏻 I have a Sig spear lt 11.5 556 with a EO tech and people turn their heads when I’m dinging the 400yds steel more than their bench gun🤣

Definitely a must-consider for anyone looking to get great value without sacrificing quality.
To be fair, sometimes it's hard to believe that Remington 700 is a budget rifle either
Most 700 these days are not sub moa. Remington has went way down hill since the 90s
Mine is semi new and it’s wonderful except for the brick aka the stock
@@Anon585 is yours the cheap 700 or a more expensive version. You said it’s a brick so sounds like a more expensive one
@@markseawright2418 The Rem Arms acquisition has been making excellent Remingtons again. They closed the New York plant, opened a brand new plant in Georgia, it’s an entirely different company, new leadership, new tooling and CNC machines. I’ll be the first to vouch for new Remington. My 700 is sub Moa on factory loads
If you want a cheap rifle to upgrade, do yourself a favour and get a Remington 783 Heavy Barrel. Timney makes an excellent trigger for it and MDT makes a few chassis' for it. I have one and the bolt is buttery smooth with very little wobble with zero binding and as accurate as I can be with a centerfire.
They annouced the M110A2 Super SASS (we have at home) recently.
I hope you'll get your hands on it as well.
second this
Is that the one that the army currently fields?(.308 HK?)
@cameroncornelison8878 no, it's the KAC.
@@HK-wq1eiwe love the kac
Dude, I’m so glad you made this video. Just got mine! Thanks for your help with the optic! I’m so happy that you did this video and the timing couldn’t have been even better! Seriously thanks Brandon!!
4:01 the caterpillar seems interested in the rifle! 😂
I bought the PSA 308Win/7.62X51 Freedom rifle upper kit a couple of years ago and mated it to my Polymer80 AR10 lower.
Yes, it can use either ammo. With a Nikon P-308 scope it cost me about $800 to build.
Too funny. I watched your two other Sabre10 videos earlier today, and now you post this. It must be a sign to buy lol
I appreciate the accessibility of quality firearms like this. It's a testament to the innovation and dedication within the firearms community.
I have one of the FDE forged versions in 6.5 and hands down probably one of the best shooting rifles I have just behind my RPR and Remington 40X. It’s topped with a 4-16 Arken scope as well and with 147gr ELM it regularly prints a single hole 5 shot groups at 100 yards and regularly prints 3/4 and usually down at 1/2 MOA out to 300 yards thus far
What ammunition are you having luck with. I’m getting ready to purchase one now and want to try a variety of ammunition that others have had success with?
I recommend checking the level on your scope with a plumb bob. Gravity doesn't lie, scope caps do.
A what?
@@psychobeam99Google it. Weight on a string basically.
String with a weight on the end. Old school shit
Poop bob!?
No! Find a flat level surface, and set a flat and level surface of your upper on it. Then put your scope on loosely, with the base of the mount tight on the rail. Set a bubble level on the elevation cap and adjust till level. Set eye relief, check level, and tighten the screws one at a time.
Then remove each screw 1 at a time and blue loctite and re-install.
You don't need a poop-bob. If you didnt buy a janky Temu scope, you can use your scope cap.
@andrewjohnson6907
Gotta account for soft foot. I'd give each screw small turns until at spec torque, then go around one more time
Think you should do the 1 minute challenge with it. Great video, sir .
i just got a howa 1500 as a budget gun, figured since i have no experience it’ll be fun to upgrade as i get more into long range shooting
Good choice to start with. Timney makes a nice trigger specifically for the Howa, which is basically a Weatherby Vanguard. TriggerTech is another good manufacturer for triggers
Was hoping you would do this video. I have the same rifle (PSA Billetted Sabre M110 SASS clone except with the bag and extra mags) and the EP 5-25x56 Arken and a Q Thunder Chicken in x51 .... I love the dang set-up for the money. Rifle and glass I've got maybe $2200.00 and then another $1600.00 in the can and stamp that I had laying around. I broke it in hard with almost 500 rds Radway Green surplus I had laying around before I gave it a really good scrubbing and then started running different factory loaded match stuff. Now, after six months of playing with it, I'm finally around to dialing-in my handloads and so far so good. It's a 1000 meter rifle in x51. I like it so much I'm probably going-to order one in 6.5 Creed, especially after confirming my suspicions while watching this video. These rifles are worth the money for 99.9% of all hobbyist paper-punchers and hunters that practice their craft. Thanks again for the video. It is very timely for my needs. I know a lot of the guys over at the Flagship Store on Fernandina .... I'll share this video with them, if they're not already aware, when I'm over there at the range tomorrow. I should just have my paychecks direct deposited to JJE anyways .... either way, my money ends up over there. Great Company that we Sandlappers are proud to call ours.
That paint job is sick! Would love to see a video of you going over what you do to sight your hits/misses regarding recoil management ect.
Man I love that rig. Suppressed 6.5 Is fantastic.
Just moved back to Texas and would love to get on a range like that
Just in time for lunch
I got to shoot mine for the first time over the weekend. Probably the best cost vs value gun i own
First off I wanna say how much I love your videos, especially the 1MO. A at a thousand yards . Which brings me to my question and I hate to ask this, but I think it every time I see you guys out there shooting with so many people you don't know. Do you ever worry about a Chris Kyle Event
That's super impressive. To me, it seems like this is all happening non chalant. But with your skill to make it perform like that is awesome
Only problem with painting is now will pretty much own it forever. Local gun store manager has a Tavor 12 gauge. He did the same thing. And no one wants it now. Unless of course you want to sell it for cheap. Also Vortex doesn’t warranty their scopes if you paint it. Which was a big surprise to me. I had thought they pretty much warranty anything. To each their own.
Just get a nylon scraper and scrape it off. EZPZ.
I wouldn't see paint as a bad thing. The used gun economy is so weird.
@@userJohnSmith It's just certain people. The "safe queen" guys absolutely would not touch it. The "it's a tool go use it" guys do not care. And I get it about selling, but I only paint guns that I know I'm keeping forever anyway.
@@fairlylocal607 Yeah. My only concern would be paint on internal components but that's easy enough to check. If it's a collector's item I get it but for an AR? Meh.
At least as late as 2019, from Vortex's own writings, paint does not void warranty.
THAT CARDBOARD TRICK IS GENUIS!!!!
Psa makes decent rifles but my main issue with them is out of the box their qc kinda sucks. Its always some bullshit with screws not being locktited and shit not being staked properly to where the guns start having issues 1-2 k rounds in. Once you take the gun appart and add the locktite or stake the shit that shoulda been staked the guns will run just fine for thousands of rounds after that but it really is annoying. Like i know 20 cents in locktite and an extra 2 seconds to properly tighten a screw isnt huring your bottom line psa....just do it right the first time.
Hitting a man-sized torso at 700+ yards? Yeah, impressive!
Paint job came out rad af. Keep up the content bro.
love your shows keep up the good work
Another awesome video
I started out with the idea of making my old Remington 700 more accurate and maybe putting it in a chassis. Long story short, the Remington 700 is still all original and I dropped $8k building a custom rifle…so much for “budget”.
Lol, does the wife know?
@@qh4007 not really. I ordered everything myself and had my smith chamber the barrel and headspace to my action, everything was ordered as it became available. So my wife thinks I bought 4 or 5 guns over the course of 3 months.
Nice ! It is definitely hard to see hits when everything is green and wet.
I have that same scope on my 243. 26 inch heavy barrel Remington. I'm out to 1100 yd Or I've hit out to that LOL
Nice review and breakdown of the rifle just a quick question is your reference zero 100yds 👊💥👍
Gosh budget rifle to me is the savage axis II.
Rifles over 600 dollars are outside my budget range.
Is this the 20" barrel? Can't believe that deal on that optic. Great shooting, sir!
Yessir sure is!
can you please please pleaseeeeeeee do a video showcasing the sig 716i, im curious to see the 16" gas gun perform at 1000y
Really wish they would offer the tan billet one without the extra stuff for a little cheaper
Yeah that'd make sense if they did
Another Great Video 💯 , Thanks for Sharing 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Nice rattle can paint job.
That caterpillar is haulin ass
I like that wait for it😊
Do a DD5 setup. Everyone knows that spray paint makes every rifle sub moa. Krylon space magic.
Very nice 👍
Most people will continue to shit on it cause it’s a PSA. Granted they don’t help themselves when they release firearms with issues, like you had with the others. But when they’re right, they perform. You couldn’t ask for much better performance, even from rifles 5 times more expensive. Even their budget M4s seem to perform very decently. Now comparing it to my super duty, yes you can feel the difference in quality, but if you’re a regular shooter, you’ll never really know. You can feel the grit, but it functions and they’re fairly accurate. That should be more than enough, especially for the price
Hey Brandon! Question!.. What drove you to get the 6.5Cr vs .308?
I wish I could build out a rig like this, and have the skills to reach out to 700+
I just picked up the same rifle just the forged model for just under $1100 shipped it's definitely worth looking into atleast
@@noname2-190 what site?
Anyway we can get some links to the rest of your setup? Please.
Larue products are well built
What rear bag are you using? Thanks love your stuff
Have you tried the palmetto precision ammo I bought some 77grain 556 for my larue haven’t had a chance to burn though it yet
I want one. Or two
I got a sabre 10, it did not shoot any better that 2.5 to 3.5 groups at 100. A Marine Corp brother that shot on the MCRD Rifle team with me couldnt get any better out of it either......So, Time to go through it. We switched to a *Criterion barrel,*Riflespeed adjustable gas block, *Weapons of Mass Destruction NiBX BCG and Bolt, *Trigger Tech Diamond drop in trigger, *FDE A2 grip, *Forward Control Design FDE A-5 buffer tube, *Sprinco orange coded carbine spring, *Geisselei H2 buffer, *FDE LAW folder, * B5 FDE stock, *Badger 34mm Rings, *Trying out ARKEN EP-5scope, *Harris Bipod, NOW it consistently shoots sub MOA groups at 100 ysrds
Lot of changes.
Yes, for sure. But I'm getting 3/4 moa or better. I love this rifle. What i didn't write about is that the rifle is Armalite, the barrel bolt are DPMS Pattern, it works.... must use Armalite barrel nut and an AR-15 rifle length gas tube. of course check headspaces and timing, Go / No Go checks ECT..........But it Fregin WORKS
So you basically just built a whole new rifle.
I suspect this guy just wants to tell the world what he has. I have no problems with psa, I also don’t ever want anything from them.
@@HWG-wm8ldpsa is for when you built a $100 lower and you need a $250 upper so it’s not just laying around
Can you do a vid on its cam job please Brandon
What brand bipod are you using?
Big fan of your channel. Question, why is a bolt action more precise or accurate than a semi auto?
Some might say it's not but idk, it's just less moving components. Nothing to worry about in regards to feeding, gas tuning, etc
@@TexasPlinkingI built a 6.5 lr308 and its pretty badass, the low recoil on semi auto helps.
Nice 👌 👍 job
Any chance you're going to check out the PSA M110A1?
Hoping to soon!
@@TexasPlinking Super sass
Isn't that what this is just in black?
I have a very different idea of what "budget" means. LOL. 😁
What the point of long range shooting with a can that reduces pressure?
Nice 👍🏼
Whats the difference between a Sabre and a PS-10?
I bought the PS -10.
Then went to our island range to try it and the boat tipped over. Lost everything.
Sabre line has more "premium" components and furniture, same goes for the AR15s under that line.
@@andreivaldez2929 Ty
The sabre billet lower is heavier but offeres ambidextrous controls. The forged saber is basically the same as the gen 3 pa10 but has better furniture and different handguards. They both have adjustable gas blocks but the sabers doesn't require a hex wrench to adjust. The Saber also has a chrome finished bcg while the pa10 is nitride finished. Basically the Saber will feel better in the hands and will look cooler, but the pa10 will do still be able to do everything the Saber can. I went with the pa10 and love it. Havent had a single problem and I'm getting between .75 and 1 moa with 168 grain sierra matchking.
@@brett9382Did you go with the two stage trigger?
@@bunberrier yes and i love it. I think they call it the two stage enhanced trigger and it rivals my geissele that's in an ar15 build. I'd say it's about 95% of a geissele
What do you think the chances of the discount code being made international for us not in the US?
but the krylon makes it look like a throw away
What are you using for ballistics calculator?
It's surprising how much more accurate the Seekins Precision SP10 is compared to this gun, especially for the slight price increase. While I appreciate PSA's affordability, they should focus on improving accuracy.
1200 to 2800 is close?
@@US2A SP10 $2,495, 3/4 MOA and 10.5 Lbs. PSA AR-10 $1,499, 2 MOA and 13.7 Lbs... yeah I'll fork out the extra $1k
like I said, PSA is doing great things but they need to refine their craft.
@@boatscrypto5856 no this one is cheaper. Even 1k isn't a little extra lmao
Nice rig, decent price.👋
I'm an idiot... 10 seconds after asking how you achieved the paint pattern you showed us....
Does it come with those rail covers? PSA website doesn’t show them
Mine did but thays weird because I just rechecked the website and the rail covers are definitely on there
Is that tape on your supressor?
What colors are in that paint scheme?
What trigger are you using ? Looking for a good recommendation for my new ar-10 308 build.
I got a psa pa10 gen 3. It's got the psa 2 stage enhanced trigger and I absolutely love it. I'd recommend watching some videos on it. It rivals my geissele trigger and is like half the price.
Would you recommend the billet vs the forged rifles? Is there any solid reason to choose one over the other?
Price difference is the main one. The billet has an ambi bolt release which I like.
@@TexasPlinking I just was not sure if there was an accuracy benefit one way or the other. I appreciate the feedback!
How many rounds are you up to in this?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
So its fixed?
PizzA
Confirmed cheap metal mags DO NOT WORK in PA10's
Nice shooting, have you done ladder tests on those scopes?
Check out Paramount tactical solutions video on Arken vs Nightforce. He does one
The only thing I ask is do you clearcoat over once your done?
NO. You want it flat.
@@qh4007 They make ultra flat clear coat
@@hopewilliams6705 I've done both and I prefer the look when it has the flat clear coat. I dunno...just looks less "gritty" and more like a cerakote job I guess.
@@hopewilliams6705 that would probably make the coating much tougher to wear.
No clear coat
Where are you originally from? Your accent sounds like New Zealand or Australia.
That's crazy haha, Texas born & raised
That @Hornady ammunition is garbage. The consistency just isn't there. Especially in 6.5 Creedmoor. I recently did some testing of a few lots and was getting 175FPS ES's. I asked them about it and they just said it must be my rifle. LOL. Yeah right. I spoke with some other folks who are well respected in the firearms world, and they were seeing the same thing. They did mention that in Creedmoor, the ELD-X was a bit more consistent but the ELD-M was all over the place.
Hey I’ve seen this title before…
Semi auto this time!
I don't feel tardy🎉
You couldn't afford two sets of muffs?
No
If you sub to PSA email notifications you get pushed sales and these are on there often for $800-$900 for the black and $1100-$1200 for the tan
It's not there's a suppressor on it lol
Cant wait to leave Commifornia, so I can get some nice toys😅😅😅
You can already get ARs there, just with those stupid, fin grips. It's just a 5 minute job to switch them to normal at a place that you can shoot it without getting in trouble.
👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯🔫🔫☕️☕️
It's a budget rifle for you not for people who don't have a lot of money
Ok
It’s a budget rifle no matter how much money you have. It may not be affordable to everyone but that’s not what budget means in this context. A C8 corvette is a budget supercar. Doesn’t mean it costs less than a Corolla. It means it performs closer to its competition per cost. So 80% the performance of an actual M110 for 20% of the money. That makes it budget.
Budget based on cost:performance ratio and especially considering it's a clonish rifle of a gun that costs north of $20,000. $1250 is a steal in this case.
You lost me at 1200 and budget. I'm on the I got to eat ramen noodles to buy a new gun budget
Budgets are relative, 1200 is reasonable for most.
@@callum1465 i dont disagree. These days, i would say less folks have $1200 extra laying around.
No bs, a BCA 6.5cm upper i have printed a .65moa 5 shot group with sierra gold match. I likely have 1/2 the amount or maybe less in that gun before the optic.
Thats "budget".
1250 to have an adjustable gas block, quad rail, 2 stage trigger, billet & ambi, etc etc is exceptional. Absolute budget but everything is relative. You want this from LaRue or knights, it’s $5-11k
@@TexasPlinking i ended up with all of that minus the quad rail (mlok), but yes out the box i dont think theres much with those features at that price. I forget not everyone is a "hotrodder" 😂 and want stuff ready to unpack and use.
@@TexasPlinking side note, i hope to be able to make it to TX and do your 1000yd challenge with my budget junk one day. Im still early on my distance shooting journey.
gross
Im tired of all these damn sponsors why purchase youtube premium if the channel creator going to mention sponsors even AFTER they did there little ad
There wasn’t a single sponsor on this video…
My friend, respectfully, anything over $400 is not a budget rifle for most people.
Says who? This entire setup is 1/4 the price of the most high end optics alone. It's all perspective.
I reckon 17hundo is a budget rifle in this shithole of an inflated economy. Fjb
Your channel is flooded with ads.
I watch less popular guys, no ads.

FYT.
This video had literally zero ads… EVERYTHING in this video I bought with my own money minus the ammo, and even then, I don’t get a kickback if you use my code or not. That was nice of them to send me ammo. That’s not to say if I had the opportunity to run ads I wouldn’t, running this channel is expensive

Gross gun for poor
Enjoy your KAC
I will get hate for this....but Harris bipods are hot steaming garbage!!
They were used in military so naturally every nut hugging, gotta be clone-correct, "pretending I'm a special Ops" LARPER throws it on their rifle...but it's trash!!
If you are shooting off a bench, for accuracy, throw that POS away!!
Accu Tac is far superior in every way,
Tier One is far superior
Atlas (obvious alternative for the Harris)
The GRS is the TANK (over the bore)
Fortmerier (over the bore)
Spartan/Valhalla
MDT
Phoenix
Rome (improved Italian version of the Atlas)
The Harris is dog poo poo!!
People do everything under the sun to improve accuracy but they shoot off a spring loaded, wet noodle of a bipod, just bc it deploys slightlyyy faster
Going to be honest I have some Chinesium knockoff Harrises and they shoot plenty accurate, routine sub MOA yadda yadda with semi autos. Aside from creature comforts, which are significant with the better bipods, you gain very little in accuracy-if you gain anything at all. Course this is only true off the bench or prone.
OK. Thank you for your service. I know it was rough being in the Green Navy Seal Rangers.
Show us on the doll where Harris touched you
You need some therapy and meds.
Is Harris the best? No, but it’s far from garbage.
He seemed to make good hits with his. Did you not see the video?
We used Glocks in the military, so does everyone that owns a Glock, are they a wannabe?
All the ones you listed are at least 2x the price for marginally better bipod.
PSA IS JUNK
