As you guys probably know from the USMC DMR video, I've teamed up with Rob at Vintage Rifles Shooters Club on YouTube, and I'm sending him cool rifles from my collection to review. He just put this short teaser up on his YouTube channel and I figured you guys might be interested!
We're still trying to decide what we want to put in the review, so if there's anything M40 related that you want to see, please post it here and we'll try to make it happen! I actually need to send him another greenie, Rob managed to break this one in the first 3 zeroing shots, lol. However, he said that those 3 shots cloverleafed at 100 yards, so at least we have our first results for the review! I'll post up pics of that target whenever he sends them to me. Thankfully I have a backup scope and he knows how to mount it correctly in the old Redfield rings. Once that scope is zeroed, we'll start filming the review of the rifle.
This is pretty significant because to my knowledge there has never been a video review done on an original 6 digit serial number USMC M40. So, this is a pretty unique opportunity for us to show the public an amazing piece of Scout Sniper history and we have full control over what gets filmed.
So, what would you guys like to see? Rob doing a 500 yard stalk and then engage targets? Accuracy tests with different bullet weights? 100 yard to 700 yard KD course of fire? See Rob break another scope? Video every single part and discuss the parts? Rob takes it hunting and shoots something? See Rob try to shoot through a rifle scope like the shot Hathcock made? Anything else?
We're pretty excited about this review and we're open for suggestions on what M40 content you guys want to see!
