Thread: Magpul "Art of the Precision Rifle" DVD

Having watched the first disc only:


Lots of stuff that is of questionable realism (staged for the show at a guess)

Hodnett waffles and is grating to listen to

Seems to be a bit of justifying their own opinions/things they're selling without honestly stating reasons why other methods/gear aren't good... bit about ballistic reticles for example, saying they don't work, also the crap about QD scope mounts. "removed it, replaced it, fired a shot, repeated 100 times, got a less than 1MOA group". That's basically straight-out made-up. I've got Larue mounts and they don't work that well in my experience and NO test I have seen online, of Larue or other well-regarded brands, demonstrated that sort of repeatability. Also their justification for why you MUST have a larue mount was basically "YOU REALLY HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE BECAUSE OF ALL THESE TIMES THAT YOU'LL NEED TO REMOVE YOUR SCOPE SUCH AS... UM... MOVING ON NOW" They also totally ignore the downsides of those mounts ie that they raise your scope like 4" over the bore on a boltaction, and are heavy, and cost $200US+.

Also there's little shit like Hodnett calling corrections of "4 clicks up 1.6 left" meaning 1.6 mils left, that's only going to confuse the shooter mixing units like that, in addition to the mil stuff Thomas has already explained

Some good info if you ignore the half-hour of blahblahblah around each bit.

I'm finding it hard work to watch compared to the carbine vids, probably being a bit critical.
