  1. Again, great stuff! I have my opinions and perspectives too, but respect your experience, your service (thank you Sir!), and your desire to communicate with the 2A Community. Great work Sir!

  2. Personally, I am very thankful for companies like Smith & Wesson. New gun owners like myself need something that is reliable and financially accessible. You don't buy your teenaged driver a Maserati. You probably start with a Toyota, or a Jeep. If I had to spend $1,000 on a gun, I would never own a gun.
    But some people just enjoy being elitists.

  3. you can build a good comp rifle for the price of some of these brands. i say around 1200 hundred bucks. maybe a little more. well spent money components would be barrel,bcg,trigger,charging handle. the rest doesn’t have to be super expensive. but you work hard you end up spending a little more even a cerakote.

  4. NON RELATED QUESTION (WEAPON LIGHTS ) : What is a better option for a long weapon light tight beam or wide beam ? I have a Modlite and super concentrated super bright but the beam is just very small the spot light that is ….and i have my old SF scout its not as bright as the Modlite but it has no dark spots it literarily illuminates a large portion of everything ….is there a purpose ? Reason ?

  5. I just now found the previous video and this video. Didn't know your channel existed until now. Boy, you ruffled some feathers, and for some of the KAC fanboys, you may have well insulted their entire bloodline , lol! Jolly good show, sir! Subscribed!

  6. I think that PSA is the only company on here that sells both cheap basic rifles, and more duty style rifles under the Sabre line. One of the Sabres is straight up a $1500 FN rifle with a different handguard and a microbest BCG. PSA sells it for 1000, FN sells it for 1500. You should give another entry for their Sabre line as they're entirely different than the basic PSA mil-spec style stuff.

    Also, SOLGW is just parts from other names on this list with sometimes stricter QC. They use Ballistic Advantage barrels just like Aero Precision. At one point their handguards were just STNGRs with a huge markup. Their AR308 BCGs are just LMTs with the SOLGW logo slapped on it.

  7. The real question is – what are your tiers based off of? Once you add the price factor, this tier list becomes “cost effectiveness tiers”, which is not likely what you are trying to do. The real answers your audiences are looking for are, which at-15s are top tier rifles even at a lower price point, which is exactly why you should not include price in the tier list. (Lets say performance wise DD is better than Radian, than we would know DD rifles are more cost effective. Just my 2c.

  8. Love my Zion. Was curious if anybody else had one and had some feeding issues early on? I was using 55 grain Winchester Target and it had a hard time cycling that, so I bumped it up to the 62 grain green tip and it seems to be doing okay just found that strange. Anyone else have that problem?

  9. People should be worried more about quality training , ammunition an more important – consistency in their training – than getting butt-heart over an X or Y object tier list 🤦♂. Who cares? buy whatever you can afford but be sure to afford consistency after that

  10. Geissele meeting the "god tier" requirement of "great QC" is pretty funny. Cast bolt catches breaking, bait-and-switching barrel finishes, pouring all their money into marketing and govt procurement for clout and to help their perceived value among the ignorant… Nu-SIG coded

  11. Hey man, stick with your choices. Who cares what most of these remfs say. Even these doosh bags who like to kiss ass and comment in favor of your opinion. The best AR is the one that feels good in your hand.

  12. I was just surprised Blackout Defense wasn't on the list. I consider it a God Tier of the highest order. All of us have opinions and beliefs and personal experiences differ. For example, I feel the PSA Sabre line-up is a Would Buy for Best Bang for The Buck.

  13. Ive seen some weird qc issues out of lmt. If someone wants to get it, go with a good online site that'll take care of you if an issue pops up. Remember, they all underpay their machinists lol

  14. I disagree with some of it but like the other guy said, it's your list. Sure as heck doesn't make me mad or not like your channel any longer lol. Rifles are like pancakes, we all like em differently.

  15. I agree that pric e s a factor it should always be best bang for your buck. To many egos when it come to people who have rifles that are Safe Queens. FACTS not fFeelings people if you did your research before you purchased your system you should not care what other people think. Guys need to stop acting like emotional litl3 school girls!

  16. I have a radian mod 1 and I’m extremely butt hurt 😂, seriously tho the Barrett’s are really nice rifles. I can only rate what I’ve shot and the Barrett’s and the radians are for sure nice rifles defintely worth buying.
