Do a video where you compare carbon fiber barrels from proof, Christensen, begara, fierce, preferred barrel blanks. See who makes the best and who has the most thermal shift.
Good idea
YES!
Carbon barrels are too variable. You’ll get good and bad ones from each company.
Shoo! That's a big task for me right now. Gonna have to grow the channel alot to get there! Lord willing I'll get there with you guys and gal's help.But I do have my 1st carbon fiber barrel rifle coming soon with a proof research barrel!
I would love to see this
My first rifle was a tikka and I’ve never had a reason to switch brands after that. They like just about anything you run through them and pretty much always stay under an inch if you do your part.
AMEN !
On the strength of your review, I ordered a 7 PRC 20 in Fierce Rogue. I love the weight , and got the same range results that you did. As I eat my elk steak, I salute you, sir!

Lots of great rifles there but I’m sticking with the tried and tested Tikka. They’ve been accurate and consistent from the start. So much so that they’re almost boring. That’s what I want in all tool and rifles are tools to get a job done. They’re no different to a hammer or a skill saw. If it ain’t broke then don’t fix it!
Yes sir ! The sliding the bolt feels like '' RUBBING A ICE CUBE ON GLASS ''.
Tikka makes a damn good rifle with a glass smooth bolt
Such a cool idea... Thank you for keeping the database Jim!!
I want to say you so good at reviewing products. I really appreciate and enjoy listening and learning from your reviews.
Good Morning Mr. Backfire I admire you so much that you are "honest" "truthful" in your judgment. And above all You are a Crystal Clear Teacher in explaining about Riflscope & about Rifles accuracy. I want to thank you !!! And i hope you continue teaching important things to us about Rifles, Scope and etc...
Thanks for your work! 👍🏼
Your channel has become one of my favorites in just a couple of months. Watched hundreds of channels over the years, but in just a couple months, this channel has stood out as one of my favorites.,
Funny, I watched that other video this morning and was hoping an update would come. . . . . Thanks Jim!!
I love that Bergara publishes which factory ammo they were able to get sub-MOA with for each rifle and cartridge
Agreed
Where do you find that info ? I’m having trouble getting a b-14 ridge 243 win to group well . I’ve tried 5 different cartridges and have not found one that consistently groups 1moa or better
@@davidlynch3077try .243 Win.- Hornady 100 gr. Interlock. I googled ‘which factory ammo will my bergara ridge 243 shoot best’ and followed the link to the bergara site
@@davidlynch3077 they have it on there website I’ll try to find a link
@@davidlynch3077 I was wondering the same. I can't find where they say what ammo.
Always great videos! You've done a great job.
Great idea on the ammo accuracy database !!!!! 🎉
"Chefs kiss" for the 22 Creedmoor rifle.....very sweet.
As always….
Great video, thanks for the hard work!!
That database is a great idea. Sure someone else’s #1 might not be my #1, but at least give me an idea on the first 3 boxes I should try out!
I sold my Winchesters now I have Bergaras.
Awesome idea w database
Another great program Thanks…you have some many rifles… love your gun room..watching from the UK..👍😉
If I can give some constructive criticism. First time seeing one of your videos it would be helpful to put the name of the rifle up on the screen just some feedback for next time
I am running my Ultradyne chassis on my 6.5 cm B14 and absolutely love it! Best bang for your buck IMO.
Thank you for the database!
The data base is a brilliant idea! 💡
Very informative video. Thanks!
Really one of the best videos you have done.👍👍👍👌
Super psyched for the accuracy database. I have tested at least 20 different factory offerings in my 110 ultralite. Will definitely upload my results
Might want to add barrel length to the data base 🤔
Looking forward to the accuracy report!!! I’m in the market for a new elk rifle this fall and that will be very nice!
Thank you for your community service on the recoil and accuracy report databases.
Where can I tell my friend to go to see the database? Ty!
Love that Ultradyne Chassis! Going to have to pick up one or two of those.
Another gem as always!
Yes, I appreciate that you said rifles are individuals which is why I hand load. Instead of buying boxes of different ammo I just work up a load that works for my rifles. Less expensive too.
That is one great reason to reload. It's crazy to spend the price of a rifle on testing ammo it likes. I do likewise. I started reloading when I shot a 4-inch group out of factory loads in my 30-06 with Remington 30-06 ammo. It is equally crazy to spend twice as much for a scope than the rifle it goes on. There are many good scopes that are budget scopes. One just needs to do the research.
@@garrytalley8009Hi Garry I actually follow that rule of thumb of spending twice as much on a scope than what my rifles cost. Of course I’ve only spent $300 to $500 for my rifles and spent $500 to $850 on scopes. I have Athlon, Falcon and Sightron scopes, all are great value for the money.
Thank you for all your hard work
Thanks Jim. BTW I love my new backstop!
My approach in 6.5 creedmoor 2019 model is very consistent at 0.4 moa groups. I kept the factory stock, fits me well and feels comfortable to shoot. Freaking love that rifle
Great idea on the rifle accuracy compilation.
This database idea is awesome!
One gun that I think a lot of people forget to review is the Winchester model 70 the new ones anyways. I have one in 300 win mag and it’s super accurate and smooth
Are they pricey?
@@JohnLee-jk5ew about 1400 is what I paid for mine. Mine is the Rocky Mountain elk foundation edition but worth every penny in my opinion especially since it has controlled round feed like the old mausers do instead of the push feed which in cases does work for sone guns but I have only had issues with it.
I have thought of doing a similar idea to the gun accuracy database. Super glad to see this coming out!!! I am an engineer and have many statistician friends. Let me know if yall need help on this project.
Thanks for the update. Have you looked at the Seekins Precision lineup? They semed to be great rifles with a very unique accuracy warranty
Database is a great idea, ty
Ruger m77 guide gun is super accurate
Love the video - Greetings from South Africa
Love the database idea. Just submitted my DD Delta 5 Pro 6.5CM with American Gunner 140gr. Insane accurate combo with cheap ammo.
My Bergara B14 HMR loves it too. It's so close to the accuracy of the 140gr ELD-M. I miss those cheap 200 count boxes of American Gunner!
Great video!
Great review. What do you think of the heavier wt 6.5 Grendel? Thanks 🍻
Awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I LOVE the idea of the Accuracy report. I have been trying to do that with a group of friends. We've also been seeing the same thing, there definitely are certain loads that seem to cross over to multiple rifle types really well. Just a quick note, should the submit report be a spreadsheet form? so that you get specific fields such as brass type, primer type etc? I just provided a few of my fav's, though forgot to provide primer detail...

Good stuff thanks for the content, hey between the rogue or the new rival with the adjustable cheek , which one would you pick, thanks
Great idea!
I love the fierce rifle company. Spent nearly half an hour talking to the guys, and they were very helpful! Customer service is awesome
Love your vids. I’d be interested in a gas gun accuracy vid
Great video Jim. Question, I've just started to dip my toes into long range shooting, and I am starting out relatively basic by building an AR platform "Bolt Action", which consists of an Aero Precision lower, Lantac upper with their straight pull BCG, Brownells handguard, Magpul pistol grip & PRS Lite stock, Ballistics Advantage 20-inch 223 Wylde barrel and a 4x16x44 Vortex Diamondback FFP scope. So outside of a typical A2 Flash Hider, what muzzle device would you recommend that wouldn't be ridiculously concussive to shooters on the left and right of me but would still provide some reduced vertical movement ? Thanks
Great video. Love your honesty. ....and then one sometimes one just gets lucky on both the rifle and hand-load ammo. Kimber Mountain Ascent in .300 WSM. Hand-loaded 180gr Nosler Accubonds. Will easy do a sub 1" MOA if the shooter can shoot a lightweight mountain gun. Last 5-shot group I shot was a .284" at 100 yds. Most seem to dislike mountain guns. Barrel is about as thick as a pencil and unforgiving to a shooter with bad shooting habits. I'll have to look to see if you've reviewed any mountain guns. It's sooooo easy to NOT shoot a 1" MOA with any rifle....would never be stupid enough to take your 1" MOA challenge.
Great show 👌👌👌👌👌💯💯💯💯
I watched your last video like this and went with a springfield waypoint 2020 6.5prc. Absolute tac driver. Cheers!
I like your videos Jim, but how about helping us Lefties out, & mention it when a gun/stock/chassis is available in LH? After watching this video I checked Ultradyne's website, & their chassis is available in a LH! PS - I'd sure like to see you do a video review of the Black Collar Arms 12" Pork Sword Stalker in .375 Raptor.
no tikkas?
The translation is hilarious 😂
Technically sako and tikka are the same company but yea for the price of a tikka they are very hard to beat.
@@JSJTOUTDOORS agreed I have several tikkas and 1 sako 85. The tikkas shoot just as good and 1/2 the price
Do you have an optic recommendation?
I'm looking for something that would allow me better PID at range than the 4x ACOGs I train with. I'm looking for something that can do 1x but also something I could use for spotting/range. I'm trying to push out to 1km without too much optic. What has really turned me away is when users say optics get blurry or dim with higher power zooms or bigger spreads 1-6-8-10-12 on LPVOs.
Wishlist: I haven't found anything, but I want it to snap in, no variable. Just 1 and 10 not 1-10. 10 Would also be nice because I could say it's 10 times or 1/10th what I see.
I’ve got 2 Bergaras
Love them
Would love to see you test the Seekins Havak Element, Hit and Hit Pro.
When changing stock especially chassis you really have to ignore the first shot and just call it the settling shot then shoot a 3 shot group.
I bet that bergara continues to shoot little knots 👍
Glad to see the savage 110 made the list , for a budget rifle they are pretty good
The price on the cross is also amazing.
And the price on the setup your are showing, with scope too. God bless
At least she was wearing her safety glasses this time ;-)
Keep up the good work 👍🏻
is there ever a thought of purchasing a cadex? or maybe an Anschutz? I would be interested to see how you like them.
Jim, you should get a Proof Research rifle to review. I have the elevation in 300 win mag its their "entry" level rifle still pretty expensive but it sure does shot well
bergara,sako,fierce all shot great
"The vault" eye candy!!
Did she speak german after shooting and laughing? "...ist das geil!"
Priceless reaction by the way!
Hi. Thanks for the video. Just wanted to get your thoughts on a Tilla Tac A1 in 6.5 Creemoor with the Burris Eliminator 6 scope? I'm new to this and like shooting with my buddy. It's just target shooting from 100 yards a d he shoots out to a mile. I've shot out to 300 yards. Just wondering for a beginner if that's the best use or bang for your buck. It's fairly expensive and was hoping to get your thoughts. Thx
ive been using a 308 forever and i can do 1 inch with my cross. happy with that. sometimes 3/4 inch. building an lmt this year in 308 for hunting. excited to check it out. maybe proof barreled
Hey I had a specific question!!! What was your weight decrease from your Bergara premier approach. I’m thinking about switching like you did. How much weight did you lose on that gun switching?
Not certain what the Bergara stock weighs, but we offer options as light as 2 pounds (chassis, butt stock, grip). Let us know if we can help answer any of your questions!
Thank you! I think I will get one is there any discounts available
I would be super interested to see a set of guns tested with multiple 3 shot groups and multiple 5 shot groups to see if the average is the same or if there's a significant difference. I've gone back and forth on 3 vs 5 shot groups and I'm convinced the 5 shot group is a more accurate representation of accuracy but would a 3 vs 5 multiple group average show there's no advantage to those extra shots? Ammo is expensive sooo...what you say, will you test this?
Edit: apologies for broaching the group issue but I do think it would make a fascinating video down the road.
Hey Jim in this video you showed your Mountain reaper with your new recoil pad on it! How do I get one for mine? 😁
Liked your review. The additional data would be helpful; distance you were shooting, msrp on the reviewed Guns and optics you used.
Thanks
I would love to see you do a video and your impressions of the benelli lupo.
I want more of these guns. Unfortunately I'm a lefty. Savage 7MM Mag rifle I have or used to be is a tack driver.
Aside from the very accurate .22 competition rifle I shot ,very briefly in 1974 while in the ROTC the most accurate .22s I shot growing up in the 1960's and used as a young adult were off the shelf a pump action and lever action rifles with long octangular barrels made in the early 1900's. I think they were both Winchesters. I also have (meaning my wife has) a Browning 22. Lever action that is equally as accurate. They all brought in their fair share of small game here in Southwest Idaho.
Too bad we don’t see more wood stocks or even more laminate stocks these days. A lot of people I talk to prefer wood stocks or even a nice laminate stock. I know the trend is synthetic or chassis and some look nice but still can’t beat the looks of a nice wood stock! I know they cost more just be nice to see more options for them. Thanks for the videos they are very informative!
Any chance you have tried the Weatherby Vanguard high country? I have one and 6.5 PRC. Just want to get your thoughts.
@backfire Jim, have you reviewed any of the rifles from Seekins Precision? Ive seen many of your cideos and I like your honesty and integrity in reviews and would love a neutral opinion on the Seekins Hakak Hit rifle or any of their other options if youve shot them. Thanks
Are you going to be able to test the Christensen Evoke in the near future? I'm holding off on a 7 PRC purchase to find out about this rifle.
Shawn me 2 but they got 4 models but most of there guns have a pencil barell
Seeing some of the reviews on the new Ruger American Gen 2has me really interested. I was never really too interested in the Ruger American when they came out. Yeah people were getting good accuracy with them and such, but I just couldn't get over the cheap plastic flexible stock and the action seemed a bit rough. I know it probably wpuld be easy to get a much better stock for them like a Boyd's or Bell & Carlson, but why do that when I could spend a bit extra to get something a bit better put of the box. The new Gen 2's however have me intrigued with some of their new features and that they have a stiffer stock.
Would love to see a b-14 vs bmr comparison. Would also love to see what you would put together for nrl22 base class
Should review a bunch of clamp on muzzle breaks. Would be an interesting topic clamp on vs threaded breaks.
Watching this while I'm mounting a Swarovski z3 on my new 6.5 prc Bergara Approach. I know you said the stock was "European" and clunky. I quite like it.
Me being a bergara fan boy absolutely loved this video
Do you have a list of all the guns you were talking about? I'd like to look them all up lol.
@backfire have you reviewed the savage precision? I see those for around $800. Curious on the accuracy.
I have one in 300 wm, currently getting around 0.8 in groups with Federal premium Terminal accent.
Taking notes. I have the other categories of firearms pretty well overstocked, AR/AK, pistols o'plenty, tactical shotgun I like, etc. and I'm focusing on a good long range modern rifle to supplement not replace my 1932 Mosin Nagant. It's an amazing gun for the history, shoots pretty well for my ability level up to 200 yards or so, looks awesome and everyone wants to try it but I want the 500 yard capability with a great scope. 2024 will be summer of long range marksmanship.
Have u ever tested the Tikka upr in 6.5 creedmore? Curious about it's rating. Thx man.
You should check out the Seekins Precision PH2 if you haven't already... I have one in 7 PRC and with factory ELDX it shoots same hole out of the box and with ELDM it pulls 1 inch left of the ELDX group at about .90 MOA
I just bought a ar 6mm arc from seekins. So far I'm impressed with the accuracy with the factory loads. The rifle is sweet.
Very impressed with your knowledge and presentation . François Martens, farmer,South Africa
6.5 creedmoor is a good round for deer and smaller. It’s good at everything even if it’s not the best at anything. That and the 7m-08 are Goldilocks rounds.
Accurate
High BC
Low recoil
Plenty of oomph out to 300ish yards.
#justright
It would be eye opening for you to test Allterra Arms guns. Your perspective on accuracy would be enlightened quite a bit. Especially in a 6.5 PRC or 7 PRC. I know they are more expensive, but your video is titled "the most accurate rifles I've reviewed". Gunwerks is right there with Allterra at the very top of accurate hunting rifles. Maybe you ought to include both in your next "
More Accurate Rifles I've Reviewed" test.
Have you ever shot or reviewed the Aero Precision SOLUS Hunter? I’m curious what your thoughts are on it.
Have you tried any Weatherby rifles or ammo? Have you made a video on copper fouling that can .take some of the magnum rifles shoot bad until broke in?
Sir, can you do a review on the Proof Research Elevation rifle? I looked and don't see any reviews by you on that brand.
Shooting in the back of a truck bed...I can only imagine how loud that was!!
I had a ruger american gen 1 in 243. I liked the gun but i had too much trouble with magazine issues. I am hesitant to trust the new ruger american gen 2, but hopefully they changed the magazine design
