This is a two part video. In part one, I zero these rifles at 25 and 50 yards.
In part two, I move out to 100 yards.

That 450 Bushmaster in the Ar15 doesn't look like it was recoiling at all...

It's a kitten touch with a lions' roar and the punch of a wrecking ball.

Nice video, thanks. Never been exposed to a thermo scope, pretty cool idea to use the hot hands. Is everything black and white when viewed in daylight, only heat signatures showing up in white?

Depends on what plat I'm using. There's white hot, black hot, Ironbow 1 and 2 and about five more color variations.

Not sure what was more amazing. The livestock ignoring your shots or the height of those Ruger rings. ;)

Very creative with the Hot Hands. The wife usually gets me a case of them every Christmas. Sure looked a lot nicer down there than up here. Got called in Sunday morning at 5 AM and the truck's thermometer said -29F in the low spots driving in. Got up to +31 today, ahead of another snow storm and folks had spring fever! Sloppy as a spaghetti sandwich when that foot of cumulative snow started responding to the road salt finally. Translation: My 2016 shooting season has been over for quite some time now. They can't make enough Hot Hands for me. :lol:

It was enjoyable watching you shoot and being able to see bare ground.

It's been pretty darn cold for Texas these last couple days. Today was the first time it got above freezing. It got down to 16 with a wind chill of eleven. Yesterday we had 2" water pipes busting at a few of our water plants including mine. Now I'm nursing a cold and I feel like crap. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow to discuss all the medical tests they ran on me and to do more tests and blood work. As for the scope rings, it's all I've got right now until I can replace the weaver rail with a true picatinny rail so I can swap over to a PEPR mount. I don't think I've ever seen so many people freak out over scope rings then I have with this Ruger American rifle. :lol:
