The SOCOM 16 one bad ass rifle.
@Glockcrazy19, It really is fun. I enjoy ARs and think they are pretty interesting ( even cool!), but once you fire an M1-A, or maybe any military rifle that fires the 7.62X51 cartridge, the 5.56 never has quite the same thrill.
That's the truth! Only problem is the cost of ammo
Amen brother
The M14 series have one of the most beautiful actions ever invented.
It's like music to my ears
I bought my SOCOM 16, in 2012. This gun can lay down some lead. There is no substitute for a 308 rifle.
Meh.... maybe .308 is more the sweet spot
We love our 308 in Australia gotta see if it's legal in Australia the awesome SOCOM 16....
You’re still one of the authorities I always check with before splurging on a new piece. Thanks for all you do, Hickok!
NOBODY is allowed to dislike hickocks videos..
Best channel on youtube. Honest, real reviews.
I could tell by your first video that you wouldn't take long to acquire one. It's next on my list too Mr. Hickok. Can't wait, but I gotta save for this one. SA is very proud of them.
Hickok, I love you man! Just remember, never complain about the heat down there in your great free state. I'm stuck in New York where my SOCOM 16 can't have a muzzle break (or anything on the end there - no matter its name) and it can only have 10 round magazines. And if one were to have an "assault rifle" before the S.A.F.E Act came into law, you have to register it!!! As long as I'm committed to this state as a husband, father, and farmer, I've committed myself to warning the rest of the country that what happens to New York can theoretically happen anywhere in our country. Stand and fight folks. Be on guard! Don't trust your run-of-the-mill Republican!!!!! I love your channel Hickok45!
Daniel Obst; And you think trusting your run if the mill democrat is the solution !?!
Haa No! Your missing the point - or I wasn't clear. What I meant is that we have to watch out for the progressive (or moderate) republicans who are just as damaging, if not more so than any democrat, since they fool so many real conservatives. Oddly enough I wrote that so long ago that I still had hope for our country but now a bigger change is needed and its not gonna be just by an election. The birth pangs of our country getting back to what it was founded to be will be much worse. So HEY - I'm glad I have my M1A!!! haaha
Daniel Obst ; Gotcha, friend ! Right there with you ! Interesting times, are they not?
Very interesting times! We're launching into the future so fast that we're forgetting our history just as fast
I know it sucks you guys can't have ars and aks but I'd rather have a m1a with ten rounds then a ar with ten rounds. Grass ain't always greener
Man, that is sweet! Thanks for the post, hickok45, sir. Excellent camera work as always, John!
hickok you are one of the best shooters ive ever seen you never use scopes always useing iron sights great vid my friend :)
Hearing the brass fall in slow mo is so awesome!
watching the action cycle at the end during the slow mo is sweet! once again, nice editing John.
@nccamokid, I've done that and will do some more. I recently purchased some of the new Ruger 25-rd magazines.
I have to say it's quite amazing how steady john holds the camera.
Thanks for all you do for the shooting community, Tom Young
“Let’s take out a bowling pin. I love to bowl. Now that’s the way to bowl” 😂😂
Hickok, Just inherited a M1A Scout from my father in law and am sorting out the loads for the rifle. Interesting enough when I measured the fps of the 18" versus the same same round in a 24" bolt action rifle, the difference in fps was close to 200 fps. You certainly lose fps with the shorter barrel.
I also noticed that you had some difficulties shooting out at distance. It's been quite a challenge for me to get a good group with the M1A scout due to the heavy trigger pull and trying to keep the rifle steady. Yes, I need to improve my trigger control but it is a bit of a challenge. Was able to get a 1 MOA group at 100 yards with the rifle shooting it off a bench.
As you said, the look and style of the rifle is outstanding. Yes, life is good! Keep em flying down range! :)
You made a video of my favorite gun and posted it on my birthday, God bless you!
That firearm is artwork you can shoot....awesome gun...and awesome shooting! thanks again Hickok.
I dig that rifle. Thanks for the review, Mr. Hickok.
Another fantastic episode of "As the soda turns"... Great shooting and thanks for sharing!
Just placed one on hold, hope to have next week!
@DankWin, Yes.
'i love to bowl" is probably my favorite line in your videos.
I have a SOCOM 16 and it's one of my favorites!
@Abomb520, We're planning to do that and not just with the M1-A.
A lovely weapon. Thank you for the fun!
FINALLY SOCOM CHAPTER 2, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY!
Hickok,
I really enjoy your videos.
You've in a sense helped push me over the edge here.
I've just traded my much loved first run SAM 7 SF for a
Socom 16.
I already own an M1A Loaded but watching you and others on you tube shooting the Socom 16 just made me have to own one.
Thanks a lot!
Just kidding I can't wait for my new gun to get here so I can shoot it
Louie Pate
Hickok45, I have a SOCOM 16 and a full length M1A. Where did you get that pad that fits on the back of the stock? Both of rifles a bit short and shooting them in prone position is murder because I have a bad collarbone.
Wish I had this rifle when I was in the army instead of the M16A1 rifle, because I totally dislike pistol grips on long guns!!!!
Your fan and god bless
Detroit 69
another quality video thanks Hickok45
It's very interesting to see the difference between the .308 (in this video) and the .223 (in the M4 chapter 2) in how long it takes to destroy a cinder block.
Love the offhand Hic. Anyone can shoot off a rest. You always keep it real Brother.
@Mc13oner , Yep, I just don't have time, in addition to everything else, to be in the "Packing & Shipping" business. :-)
I just purchased one, still waiting for it to arrive at my FFL
Ditto
Me too
@@peytonparkhill8384 got mine today... what a rifle! Love it
I gots me one with a wood stock 🤤
Nice video. I recently built a fulton armory scout rifle from a barreled action. I love it.
Thanks Hickok! Thanks to your video's I'm now the owner of 2 m1a's. A walnut stock loaded and a scout squad. Also purchased a few arntzen targets! Maybe you should be a salesman! Haha!!
Kip
I love my socom 16 not picky on ammo everything works in it that I have tried
Your laugh is the best.
another great vid , i enjoy .
"I own a Socom16 and it is a wonderful rifle to shoot!"
I joined the club two weeks ago (right time and place) and finally got to put a few rounds down range yesterday. Im in love with it and I think it deserves a name. Suggestions?
Nice shooting. Hoping to pick up one of these soon. Seems they have been very low on stock this last year and just now getting caught up.
Just bought one, it's still gun porn every time I look at it :)
Lol great name!
Ding! Gotta love that sound!!
up early this mornin huh? :) Another great video thanks hickok!
@phishst1cks, That's not what we do in our 100-increment videos. Check out the last four. :-)
This is one of my favorite .308 semi-autos!
@MrSuperstar567
The SOCOM 16 is Springfield Armory's shortened model of the M-1a with a polymer stock and a piece of rail on the top.
The M1-a is the semi automatic version of the military spec full auto (select fire) m-14. And the M1-a is to distinguish it from the M-1 Garand, which all of the other guns mentioned are based on.
Hey Hickok, I really enjoy your videos. I got a Mosin Nagant because of that video.
I was wondering if you were ever going to do a CZ 75 video?
"That is a gun and a half."🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a SOCOM-16 owner and advocate myself,...This was a great video. Just like the Food Channel,...the food you see looks Great. But thru your TV screen you cant smell it, or taste it. Same with the SOCOM-16. You have to actually shoot the thing and then own it. Once you own it--youll never give it away. This rifle is, Addictive. The smoothest shooting,..and Lowest-recoiling rifle I own. For dramatic effect, Winchester white box for muzzle-Flash in Low Light conditions:) Awesome Vid H-45!
Ok. It's on my bucket list. Officially.
Sweet rifle's, I love mine. Been using it as my deer rifle since they came out. I have the non checkered fatter stock.
Just don't touch that rail after blazing a few mags, you won't soon forget it!
Just put it onto a Troy MCS stock to see if is like it, great vid.
Take care.
It's still available, and heading into my widdle armory soon.
Silly question (or mebbe not)...is it fully made in the US?
howdy hikok. Iv been a long time viewer and first time requester :D I go to combat training for the Australian army in Nov. If you can get your hands on one you should do a video on the AUG styer for the Aussi viewers :D
Life's always good mate.
I REALLY LIKE MY SOCOM 16!!!
I have a SOCOM 16 and it's a REAL KEEPER!!!!
Mr. Hickok45
This is the very first time that I've written any CZcams people. I've watched A LOT of your videos and I enjoy every single one of them even it's a striker fired pistol . I find myself consulting your videos when I'm first starting my quest to buy another firearm we seem to both like and have the same views so it makes selecting which firearm to add to my collection. I truly thank you for taking time out of your day to do a pretty good evaluation of the firearm in addition You seem to be really enjoying doing each video. S
Sincerely, J.E.K. II
@hickok45 howdy hickok almost everything i have learned about shooting i have learned from you. please don't stop MR 45. and that's all i got to say about that. life is good.
I want one more each time you shoot it ! Scom 16 really nice weapon !
@phishst1cks, I didn't realize we were ever "regimented." What does that mean? :-)
I used to listen to him a lot, but I never heard him ever mention anything about firearms.
beautiful, i myself love an m1a/m14 with a longer barrel myself though.
either way i dont think you can really ever go wrong with an m1a.
just wish their prices was more considerate of some peoples heart conditions
@hickok45 ooo. neat stuff, lookin forward to it.
The M1A is amazing !
The Socom 16 is a winner, well all the versions are pure win - except for the Socom II..and only because that cluster rail is a joke.
With my Buddy's M1A Supermatch - i put 5 rounds in the same hole with iron sights ! They are scary good.
Hickok and john rules!!!!!! Thumbs up so they can see that they are awesome!
@jedilife77 thats because its an "updated" M1A which derived from the M1 Garand. It's the civiallian version of the m14.
You're an inspiration :D
Hickok for President!
That is a beautiful weapon, sounds extremely loud with that crackle like this is the only weapon I would be interested in
@billt460 I have a Socom and find it relatively easy to break down and clean. Now the bolt is a different story and can be pretty tricky. That said I cleaned my Winchester 94 for the first time and man was that a pain took me four hours of yelling and screaming. I got it back together though and I think it will be easier from now on.
How often does would you say it needs cleaning?
It is perfectly acceptable to drool or slobber over that gun. My shirt is soaked right know. Why would anybody complain about a little extra weight, I just don't see it. I would gladly carry it into battle when my life would be on the line. Great vid Sir!
what kind of a stock cushion pad do you have on the Socom ? Thanks Giles Semper Fi
@SpydercoTac Now that you mentioned it, you're right. Found it by the way, it's his Wards Western Field rifle. I guess it's the exception that confirms the rule.
credits to the camera guy he's good at holding it still whilst zoomed in and credit to anouther great vid keep em comin :)
ive got the scout model 18 inch barrel love it !!
I would love to see a video on how to shoot the Socom 16 iron sights. I'm having a real hard time using the sights because of that thick post. I'm sure many people are in the same boat just need advice from an experienced person.
Oh yeah and 1 more till 500 vids....I cant wait. You've been saving the M60 close up for us havent you ......?!
@hickok45 awesome i like the 10/22 they look fun and im debating whether to buy it or the single ten pistol when i buy a new 22
I love these rifles, hey Hickok think you'll ever do a video on the FN FAL?
I don't get tired of hearing about those 100 deg. days at all, we had frost this morning here..................eh!
@TyeDye07 No, those were M1 Garands. The Reciever looks similar. Hickok does some Garand videos if you search them
Yeah I don't blame you. No way I'd be able to send that baby back. I went out an bought one myself after watching you. It is the pride of my collection now.
That is a beautiful rifle Sir!
Hickok your awesome!
@krammit087 , No, I don't buy toys on credit. :-)
I have never considered the Socom M1-A before. I am very impressed with the fire power. Maybe you could show the results of shooting this rifle with a red dot sight or a scope.
what a cool rifle,love it
cool video and nice shootin
I was at an out door range near me and a guy had one of these but it was in 30.06. The same as the original M1 Grand was. I got hooked BIG TIME? But all I see them now is in Caliber 308. Can you special order them in different calibers?
@hickok45 thats kind of how it is when I transition from the mosin nagant to the SKS. I miss the stout recoil from the mosin.
They say the socom 16 is a 5 or 6 moa gun. I bought a used one. Cleaned it lubed it. And first 2 shots almost touched at 50 yards. They are loud but what a glorious sound.
Wow look at that muzzle flash!!
Good vid my friend!
looks damn HOT over there old mate! just getting in to summer here down under. really not looking forward to it lol. cant help but drool over any of your videos hickok with all the gun laws and all down here. us folk arnt allowed to have this much fun!.
Your on fire! great shooting!
want for christmas! such a cool lil'big thing
I just picked mine up and compared to the scar 17. The M1A has more recoil
You are one accurate old man
Wish I had one, or two!
