Bloke went to Witzwil, behind the prison, to shoot the 2023 25m Pistol Feldschiessen with his SIG P210 / P49 in 9x19mm. How did he get on?

The day before he shot 300m in Aarberg with his K31

As foretold in an earlier video...

... Bloke made the local 300m Feldschiessen final in Aarberg! How did he get on?

Formerly the ARES SCR and now the Fightlite SCR, this rifle is an AR-15 system modified to work with a FAL or Remington 1100 type mainspring housed in the butt. Without the muzzle thread it's 50-state legal in the US, and looks like... well any semiauto hunting rifle in this configuration. It'll ...

As part of a previous video, I zeroed my Schmeisser SP-15 Straight-Pull AR.15 with GGG 55gn .223 Rem / 5.56 at 50m according to what the manufacturer says about the reticle of the Primary Arms SLX-1x single-power scope. How does it hold up at 300m? Does the BDC reticle do what it's supposed to?

The gentlemen of the Kentucky Victorian Riflemen instigated a 5 round speed loading challenge this year and invited Chappy to participate. He of course stepped up with a French rifled musket in a manly calibre!

Chappy's tools and skills have come along a long way since his first attempt at reviving the chonky 18mm rimfire case and cartridge. Time to give it another shot. Will he succeed of will they blow up in his face?

In which Bloke and Jari of @varusteleka do a 300m to 150m rundown at the Hätilä range complex in Finland! Bushmaster M17S Bullpup chez Bloke, and a piston-driven AR15 with Jari.

In which Mike takes a post-war rebuild Winchester-made M1 Carbine and has a look at what it can or can't do at 300m.

.30 Carbine For The Win!

Budi shoots his extremely rare 1893 trials Krag-Jorgensen at 300m! This is serial number 8 of 50, and is in the semi-rimmed version of the 6.5x55mm Swedish cartridge. But he's shooting normal rimless.

While at a dynamic practical rifle match with his Colt M16A1 (9 million series), Mike wound the adjustment drum too far on his Brownells Retro 4x AR15 / M16 carry handle scope, and lost elevation zero by about 4 MOA or so. Which was fun on the clock!

The question is: if you don't wind the adj...

Bloke's shooting footage from the SPOL 4 SRA match in Finland, October 2021!

Bloke is shooting a Bushmaster M17S bullpup with Holosun 503, a Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS with Holosun 509, and a Benelli M4 23G.

Most of Bloke's gear is available from https://www.varusteleka.com/en and the knife sheath ...

In which Bloke takes his 9 million series real Colt M16A1 (not an AR15, or a build kit or a repro) at 300m with a Brownells Retro 4x carry handle scope and puts 30 reasonably quick rounds through the barrel to see if there's any worrying drift due to imperfect stress relief in the barrel. What ha...

Bloke bought yet another Holosun 503, and also a 3x swing-out magnifier to go with it. The interesting question is whether the magnifier causes any optical distortion that changes the point of impact compared to the bare red dot optic.

What better way than to test it than at 300m on electronic...

Bloke takes his ex-Slovenian Territorial Defense Chartered Industries of Singapore SAR-80 in 5.56x45 / 5.56 NATO / .223 Rem out to 300m to see how it groups, and the video takes a disturbing twist. This garbage-tier

Patches will be available when we've got our e-commerce solution up and runni...

In which Mike takes his Australian Automatic Arms SAC in .223 Rem / 5.56x45mm out to 300m with a Holosun 503 atop it to zero it and to see what it can do.

Here at BotR we show things as we find them, warts and all, so you're seeing this more or less as Mike did, with all its frustration...

...

In which Mike takes another look at the deflection of the mean point of impact with an M16A1 at 300m for hand-rested, bipod, hasty sling, magazine rested and freehand, this time with a Brownells Retro 4x Carry Handle Scope to see if it makes a palpable difference to the iron sights tested here: ...

Matti takes Mike to the 500m range with his SAKO TRG-22 rifle in .308 Win / 7.62x51 with Delta Optical Stryker 4.5-30x56 scope on top!

A real point-and-click interface at that distance!

Was there any real speed advantage to a bolt action over other breechloading actions before the advent of repeating mechanisms? The chap aims to find out with a mad minute modified to reflect the 1870s

In which Mike takes another look at the deflection of the mean point of impact on the AR15 platform, this time with a #wwsd2020 at 300m for bipod, hasty sling, magazine rested and freehand, to see how much better it is than a non-freefloat M16A1 with pencil barrel.

With thanks to Guy & Lesley Field of The Yeaveley Estate https://yeaveley-estate.co.uk/ BotR and The Wirksworth Gunroom bring you the definitive, and quite obvious, answer to this strangely contentious conundrum. Simply by shooting the same course of fire in three different manners, with .303 Lee...

Further research has enabled us to guestimate the composition of the cartridges for the 1837 chasseur carbine. We have both the extensively trialed (but never adopted) Brunéel cartridge and the cartridge for the 1840 chasseur carbine, a carbine using the same Delvigne breech, calibre and rifling ...

Mike (Bloke) takes a look at a 300 series CMMG Resolute 16" 9mm Para rotary delayed blowback upper on his WWSD2020 KE Arms lower.

Aside from a little reliability issue on the ejection, which he's hopeful he will be able to solve, he thinks this system is absolutely great!

And obviously the ...

The A&W Diverter was designed by Clifford Ashbrook and Wilson Wing to change a shotgun's circular pattern into a horizontal linear one. They applied for a patent in 1967, and it was granted in 1970 (US Patent #3,492,750). Their invention was similar in purpose to the "duckbill" chokes tried out b...
