Elliott Delp conducts an in-depth accuracy test comparing five high-end AR-15 rifles, including models from LWRC, LaRue, Daniel Defense, ADM, and Geissele. The test focuses on whether premium pricing correlates with superior accuracy for the average shooter, utilizing controlled variables and precise measurement tools like Ballistic-X to present objective data. The results offer valuable insights for consumers considering a high-end AR-15 purchase.

Micah Mayfield, an experienced precision rifle tester, demonstrates the accuracy potential of the Noveske 6mm ARC rifle. The review highlights the importance of barrel break-in, showing how accuracy improved from ~1.48 MOA to consistent sub-MOA groups (around 0.6 MOA) after a 200-round period. The video also features the Arken Optics EP-5 scope and discusses ammunition choices from Fort Scott Munitions and Hornady.

This video compares the performance of gas-operated rifles against bolt-action rifles in a precision shooting competition at Mosley Fields. It details accuracy testing at 100 yards and various stages at longer distances, highlighting how gas guns can excel in speed and follow-up shots despite bolt actions sometimes producing tighter groups. The competition emphasizes practical shooting skills over pure equipment cost.

This video provides an in-depth look at a custom 6.5 Creedmoor bolt-action rifle featuring a Brux barrel and Impact Precision action. The presenter, stepping outside his usual AR platform focus, conducts a 30-shot group test at 100 yards with three different ammunition types, analyzing velocity, group size, and overall rifle performance. The content also includes a comparison of hit probability at 800 yards against an AR-15 platform, highlighting the advantages of the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge for extended range engagements.

The Kraft Drill is a marksmanship assessment designed to establish a shooter's baseline accuracy across various positions. It involves shooting three-shot groups from prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing positions at 100 yards, typically using a tripod or barricade for support. The drill helps identify areas for improvement and sets performance benchmarks.

This guide details a DIY approach to shortening a rifle barrel and assessing its impact on accuracy, as demonstrated by Polenar Tactical. It covers the process from a crude hacksaw cut to professional recrowning, highlighting the surprising accuracy improvements due to increased barrel rigidity. The video emphasizes the importance of proper gunsmithing for optimal results.

This video conducts a comprehensive shootout comparing seven different rifle bipods: Atlas CAL, Accu-Tac BR4, MDT Sky Pod, Harris, Magpul, Tier One, and UTG Pro. The instructor fires three-shot groups at 100 yards with each bipod, analyzing group sizes, stability, and ease of use to determine their effectiveness for precision shooting. The review highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each model, offering insights into their suitability for various shooting applications.

This analysis debunks the 'wandering zero' myth surrounding the Lee-Enfield No. 5 Mk 1 'Jungle Carbine'. By examining a 10-shot group at 100 yards, the data, even after removing a single flier, indicates acceptable accuracy for a carbine of its era, suggesting the reputation is largely unfounded.

This video explores the effectiveness of weight sorting 22LR ammunition for improved accuracy. The instructor demonstrates a test comparing weight-sorted Federal Range Pack bulk ammo against randomly selected rounds. While weight sorting showed a measurable improvement in group size, the practical benefit for casual shooters is debated, especially compared to factory-sorted match-grade ammunition.

This video from TheGunCollective's 'The Proving Ground' features Jon Patton and Ben testing the accuracy of a Howa 1500 rifle chambered in 6mm Creedmoor, housed in an MDT chassis. They evaluate three different ammunition types: Hornady 87gr V-MAX, Hornady 108gr ELD Match, and 105gr BTHP handloads, using a Tract Toric Ultra HD optic. The testing focuses on achieving real-world accuracy, aiming for sub-MOA groups, and analyzing performance data to identify the most effective load for extended range.
