This video reviews the Ruger M77 Hawkeye Alaskan Bush Rifle chambered in .35 Whelen. The presenter, a self-proclaimed big game hunter, discusses the rifle's suitability for dangerous game, its features like the laminated stock and stainless finish, and addresses potential issues such as light strikes with specific ammunition brands. The review highlights the rifle's potential as a hunting tool despite some initial reliability concerns.

This review introduces Federal's new 7mm Backcountry cartridge, a steel-cased round designed for high performance comparable to magnum cartridges but fitting standard-length rifle actions. The steel case allows for higher pressures (around 80,000 PSI) compared to traditional brass cases (mid-60,000s PSI), with the case itself acting as a containment vessel. This design enables the use of shorter barrels and suppressors while maintaining significant ballistic capability, making it advantageous for modern hunting scenarios.

This video reviews the Ruger M77 Hawkeye Alaskan Bush Rifle chambered in .35 Whelen. The presenter, Hickok45, provides an in-depth look at the rifle's features, including its laminate stock, stainless finish, and iron sights. He discusses the .35 Whelen cartridge's history and effectiveness for big game hunting, particularly for North American species like bear and moose. The review also covers practical aspects such as shooting impressions, recoil, and potential ammunition issues, offering a comprehensive overview for potential buyers.

This video debunks common firearm myths with practical demonstrations. It clarifies that suppressors do not make firearms silent but significantly reduce noise and recoil. The demonstration shows heavier bullets provide more knockdown power at closer ranges, while lighter, faster bullets with better ballistic coefficients are superior for long-range accuracy. The video also illustrates that barrel length does not inherently dictate accuracy, with caliber and ammunition quality being more critical factors for certain platforms like the 350 Legend. Finally, it concludes that rifle weight (heavy vs. light barrel) has a less significant impact on accuracy than ammunition and barrel quality, especially under varying environmental conditions.

This video argues for the continued relevance of the 20-inch AR-15 barrel, emphasizing its balance of velocity, accuracy, and lightweight maneuverability for roles like property defense. The presenter showcases a PSA Saber build with an FN cold hammer-forged 20-inch barrel and a BCM BCG, highlighting its effectiveness with M193 ammunition.

This review focuses on the Springfield Armory SA-16A2, a semi-automatic rifle designed with a retro 1980s aesthetic. Key features include a fixed carry handle with a fully adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation, an A2-style buttstock and pistol grip, and a 20-inch heavy contour barrel. The rifle aims to replicate the classic AR-15 A2 platform, eschewing modern Picatinny rails for a more traditional look and feel.

The Savage Arms Axis 2 Pro Woodland is presented as a versatile hunting rifle with several key upgrades over the standard Axis 2.

The rifle also boasts a hexagonal oversized bolt handle for better purchase and a metallic detachable box magazine, all while being available in a wide array of calibers.

This video explores the pros and cons of 20-inch barrels on 5.56 gas guns, primarily for competition. The instructor emphasizes that barrel length primarily affects velocity and maneuverability. While 18-inch barrels offer better maneuverability in tight spaces, 20-inch barrels provide increased velocity, leading to flatter trajectories and retained energy at longer distances, which is beneficial for competition.

This review covers the updated Springfield Armory Saint Victor .308 AR-10, highlighting its 20-inch barrel, rifle-length gas system, and B5 furniture. The video notes improvements like the Tri-Lock handguard with QD inserts and a flat-face trigger, positioning it as a DMR-style rifle.

This video reviews a custom AR-15 build featuring a Red Right Hand 20-inch barrel designed for enhanced capability, often referred to as an 'auto rifle' setup. The presenter details the build's components, including an adjustable gas block, free-floated handguard, and specialized bolt carrier group, while discussing its performance in terms of accuracy, reliability, and rate of fire control. The build is presented as an additional capability rather than a standard requirement for the average citizen, emphasizing the need for supporting equipment and extensive training.

This YouTube Short focuses on building an M16A4 rifle setup on a budget, emphasizing cost-effectiveness. The title highlights specific rifle models and a focus on affordability, suggesting a practical approach to acquiring a particular firearm configuration. The use of '#shorts' indicates a concise, fast-paced video format.

This video provides a practical velocity test of Fiocchi 69-grain Sierra MatchKing .223 ammunition across three different AR-style rifle barrel lengths: 7.5 inches, 16 inches, and 20 inches. The presenter, demonstrating experienced authority, uses a Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph to record actual muzzle velocities, revealing significant differences based on barrel length. The data highlights how barrel length impacts projectile speed, offering valuable insights for firearm owners and enthusiasts.
