Please help, Where can i found the fueled by Hornady sticker( on but stock)? Thanks for anyone.
Fun to watch, love how he incorporated safety at all times. Great instructor.
What scope mount is that?
What mount us he using
Me trying to calculate in my head how many clicks he should make at 10 yards.
Jerry: "Let's give it a little love" CRRAAAANK
Uncle Jerry how did you like the strike eagle by vortex?
I really love and appreciate the safety reminders. It is easy to get complacent. Continual reinforcement prevents accidents.
Also, great video on mounting. I just mounted the same scope but made the mistake of aligning the rear with the charging handle with the scope cap on. I was craning my neck to get closer. The moment I saw you remove the cap I realized my error.
Thank you!
Who doesn't love this guy? Vortex was smart to retain him…
Jerry: The guy from Vortex on a separate video said the torque is 18 inch-pounds. You said is 18 ft-pounds at the beginning of the video. Nơ wonder there are so many Vortex scopes got sent back to the manufacturer for warranty repair.
That would be really nice if he said what type of level hes using.
What is that level hes using? I need to get one
My gosh that charging handle is so crisp and smooth
Where can I find a level like that?
I can’t take the term “modern sporting rifle” seriously. Nobody could come up with a better response to “assault rifle”?
@7:15
Forgive me Fr. Jerry, for I have sinned.
We used'ta sight in the main gun on our M60 series tanks with the old string and binocular method…set the strings on the muzzle…there were vertical and horizontal notches at the muzzle..then we'd get the binoculars and sight through the breech at the target and call the adjustments to the gunner who'd adjust the sight on his scope accordingly…this was the summer of 1971 at Ft Knox…
Jerry please forgive me for asking something silly. But may I ask why you sight it in at 240 yards? I feel I know just wanted to hear your reasoning. Thank you. Or anyone that could help.
Super Thorough and Easy to Understand, How To on my new scope!
It's GREAT having a
Weapons' SUPERNATURAL dropping knowledge, safety, shooting and Scope Dope tips!
SEMPER FIDELIS ⚡☠️⚡
Just got the strike eagle 1-8 so this is perfect. Thanks for the video
Never drop measuring instruments guys…
Been mounting scopes for years and know the procedures in my sleep , I watched because Jerry is just enjoyable to hang out with !!! 😊
Jerry is just such a…class act. Simple, efficient, light-hearted and good-natured. Got the to part 7:20 and realized that I've been over-doing my ring screws, and while I'm kicking myself (despite not damaging any of my gear, thankfully), he just sort like laughs it off, like no big deal, we all learn.
Love this guy.
Ordering one (strike eagle) Friday for a 300blk. I'm going to see if I can make a truck/hunting rig out of this setup.
I have a viper pst on the way for my 6.5 grendel build, cant wait
Jerry your awesome
…but Vortex is shit garbage made in China…really pissed me off when I found that out..they should be ashamed to be outsourcing
I love all the vortex scopes I work at sportsman’s and can compare other glass to vortex and vortex always out performs I love the content and your products when I can afford it I will get more💯
No threadlocker?
What brake is he running? That gun barely moved!
I’ve got a question for ya. Do you ever feel the need to lap your scope rings? I never have and never felt the need to but I’m curious if you recommend the need to.
He makes it sound all so simple… and it is. Great presentation.
I just mounted the strike eagle 1 to 6 on a aero precision superlight mount. Zeroed it in yesterday. Very happy
Great video Jerry.
Perfect timing, I just got my Razor Gen III…..
Thanks Jerry.
Well we know where all the ammo went 🤣
Very coll old scoll hehe
I've torched a scope properly. But then wen I went to switch mounts the screws on the rings stripped out. How do you get screws out safely without stripping the head. I use high end mounts. Any info would be much appreciated.
I always thought you had to torque down on the rings as tight as possible, I have a Strike Eagle 1-8 to put on my Grendel pistol
