Before we dive in, if you like my content on YouTube or Facebook, head over to ballistic.com and pick up some of that 50% merch. The first update is that I finally got my SureFire SOCOM300-SPS suppressor approved. It will be the can for most of my .30-cal rifles and pistols. The second update is that large attachment on the rifle: the Accuracy Solutions BipodeXt. With only one arm, setup for prone takes extra work, so I will use the BipodeXt for prone in the future. For now, I will explain the design. The concept is a simple machine—a lever—with a fulcrum, an input, and an output. Treat the lever as the point of aim, or bore axis. The fulcrum is the bipod. The input is the shooter; the output is the result of aiming adjustments. The closer the fulcrum is to the shooter, the more movement you see at the muzzle. The farther the fulcrum is from the shooter, the less movement you get. Traditional stocks and handguards give you little room to place a bipod. Most attach to a sling swivel or the forward end of the handguard. The BipodeXt mounts to the stock or handguard and uses a three-piece telescoping tube to push the fulcrum past the muzzle. That reduces the reticle movement you see for the same adjustment at the shoulder. Carbon-fiber construction keeps the added weight modest, depending on the bipod. I was not shooting prone on this trip, and the BipodeXt would not fit the benches, so I used an Accu-Tac HD-50 on the SLR Rifleworks Solo ultralight rail. Like most people, I had trouble finding a solid position. That matters more for me: one arm has to hold the rifle, make adjustments, aim, and fire. I do not have a support hand on the stock, so I use the rear monopod for small corrections. Once the reticle is close, I shift to other setup work. Here I am adjusting parallax, or focus. Fine clicks on this knob were awkward, so I passed the focus point, came back to it, then checked parallax by moving my head side to side. The reticle should stay on the point of aim. If the target walks off center, the image plane and the reticle plane are not coincident. I will cover this in a dedicated parallax video. In groups and forums, some accuracy problems are simply uncorrected parallax. Focus the reticle with the eyepiece first. After you set magnification, adjust parallax. Skip that step and you invite misses, opened groups, and flyers. After I am set up, the first groups are poor because of the frustration of getting into position. You can feel the air. After I settle, the groups tighten. Then fatigue sets in and they open again. Overall, I think I have a solid sub-MOA rifle. A two-handed shooter would almost certainly print smaller groups. In an upcoming video I will measure how much the suppressor shifts point of impact, and I will take the rifle to 400 yards to see whether group size holds. YouTube monetization puts gun channels in the lowest tier. Policy changes have made it even harder to earn from free-to-watch videos. I partnered with Ballistic Inc. on shirts, hoodies, and hats with my designs: logo merch, founding-father quotes, Smedley Butler, Doc Holliday from Tombstone, the veterans-exempt flag, DECK Project, “ammosexual,” “All Out of Bubblegum,” Big Igloo 2020, plus ongoing gun and aviation sets. Buying merch is the best way to keep this content going; otherwise it is hard to justify production versus paid client work. That is it for this video. If you enjoyed it, hit like. You are welcome on the Facebook page. The website has project news, merch links, and a forum almost no one uses yet. I will see you next time.
