Duration: 10:02

This video demonstrates pushing a pawn shop 6.5 Creedmoor gas gun to its limits, reaching 1,485 yards. Instructor Justin details the rifle's build, including an Arrow Precision receiver, Wilson Combat barrel, CMC trigger, Magpul stock, Leupold Mark 5 optic, Atlas bipod, and Bergara suppressor. He emphasizes the importance of zeroing, gas block tuning with a suppressor, and using a target camera system for long-range confirmation. The demonstration highlights that gas guns can achieve impressive long-range performance, even competing with bolt actions in certain scenarios, while remaining a more affordable option for shooting sports like PRS.

Quick Summary

A pawn shop 6.5 Creedmoor gas gun was pushed to 1,485 yards, hitting a small target two out of ten shots. Key to this performance was careful gas block tuning with a suppressor, velocity calibration using a Kestrel, and the use of a Long Shot target camera system for spotting impacts and refining ballistic data.
