[THEIS]

Hi,

Community/ Industry assistance time!!

We are seeking your votes on the Top 3 YouTube (Snipers Hide is already accounted for without question) review channels specializing in precision rifles, military equipment or LE equipment.

Please post your recommendations.

We will contact the Top 3 around first of May to open discussions with them in regards to doing a hybrid (live/recorded) show highlighting the new Aspis weapon system with us.

Sincerely,
Theis

I like X-Ring personally the best.

 

[gro]

For legit teaching/reviews, I have always liked Ryan Cleckner's youtube videos, i.e the National Shooting Sports Foundation youtube channel.

Larry Vickers would be my other vote.

For shenanigans/exposure, Garand Thumb.

 

[Sniperwannabee]

xring did real well with the ATX @X-ring

larry vickers is always good

 

[wpeach1912]

X ring, 8541 tactical, and impact shooting. Garand thumb is good too, but precision rifles aren’t his thing as much

 

[celltech]

Does not do reviews per-se, but I really enjoy Erik Cortina...

 

[W54/XM-388]

Have you talked with Ilya (Dark Lord of Optics)?
He has a really good following on scopes and is looking to do a bit more rifle videos.

 

[texag0842]

Garand Thumb

 

[THEIS]

Hi,

Unless I am missing something Garand Thumb has literally like 2 bolt action weapon system video in 10 years, lolol....

Sincerely,

[Tchitcherine]

Mike Drop (Mike Ritland), skilled long form interviews with perhaps the most important military equipment, the warriors.

(sorry, not gear reviews).

 

[KZP]

Do you have a minimum viewership number in mind? Precision rifle channels generally end up with very few audience members, hundreds to less than 6k views, compared to the general tactical type content which ends up in hundreds of thousands to millions of views per video.

Or is your goal to target specific people interested precision in bolt action regardless of audience size?

He’s finally allowed to shoot? @hic28 lol


Back to the OP. “Long range with the Lilly’s” is a good one for those that compete or barely getting into competition. Precision rifle related, regardless.

 

[roostercogburn98]

That retard lunkers is probably jonesing to make a good shooting video?

 

[sam1colt]

8541 Tactical, Gavintoobe, Eric Cortina

 

[jet_lagged]

9 Hole Reviews. But I believe the furthest he normally shoots is 900yds. Perhaps limited by the local range.

 

[Im2bent]

Mark and Sam After Work.

[Kein Mitleid]

Beat me to it, Mark and Sam is a great channel.

 

[Steel head]

Cortina is who I’d like to see try it as well a DLO.
Mark and Sam would be interesting as well.

@THEIS

For all those who mentioned Garand Thumb, I have had some interaction with him personally. The gentleman in question is a poser and has absolutely no tactical professional background. He was a SERE guy for a few years and then became a Air Liason Officer. He also speeds up his video to make it look like he shoots faster. In my opinion, if you can’t do it for real, don’t edit video to make it look like you can. In truly professional circles, this individual has a VERY poor reputation and both he and his associates are looked upon with doubt.

Vickers is a good dude for sure, but he was an assaulter, not a sniper and he will admit it. He knows a good weapon when he sees one though.

I would look at Kyle Lamb of VTAC. He was a sniper at the unit. Very experienced dude. A professional and a gentleman.

He’s funny as hell and has a lot of followers, but bolt actions are not his thing and it shows.

This times a millyun

Highly second this recommendation for 9 Hole Reviews. Also a plug for Forgotten Weapons with Ian McCollum. I know him personally and he is a true gentleman. He also has some type of design and production engineering background. I forget the exact title.

Ian is another I think would be GTG.

His early AI vids are nice.

 

[Doctorwho1138]

I am just glad no one has said military arms channel . For some reason that guy annoys me.

 

[Doctorwho1138]

Ian actually is my personal favorite but is long range his thing? I have probably seen most of his videos. The guy knows his stuff and he seems so nice. His AI videos are aces

 

[MK20]

Ian is not a LR type guy and he admits it. However, he has some kind of manufacturing engineering type background, which i forget the specifics of. He knows enough to know a good and efficient design when he sees it.

 

[kriller134]

What about having @velayo_0317 do a video?

 

[Steel head]

I really think there’s a opportunity for a precision bolt action channel combining the elements of Ian, mark and Sam and Erik cortina with lots of testing, reviews and shooting at various locations.
Something aimed at the average joe instead of strictly gamer/PRS ELR or F class.
Lots of the other channels just don’t do anything for me.

Try 9 Hole Reviews.

His coverage of firearms history, design elements and evolution is by far the best out there regardless of his shooting abilities.

 

[ShootnFool8]

Cortina, and Garand Thumb

 

[Steel head]

Try 9 Hole Reviews.

Yea, not bad but just quite there for me.

 

[DairyDictator]

John McQuay over at 8541 Tac is pretty good in the precision arena. Gavintoob is decent too.

 

[Namekagon]

Karl at Tactical Rifleman gets my vote.

 

[Steel head]

Karl at Tactical Rifleman gets my vote.

Yea
He’s probably a good option as well
Certainly has some pedigree.

 

[kriller134]

The real gunsmith is 100% legit

 

[NoLegs24]

The real gunsmith is 100% legit

That guy knows how to select a cartridge!!

@velayo_0317 is another poser, pro that signs up as an amateur... what does he have to offer?!

 

[rhombus]

I'm probably the only one but I like Impact Shooting. keeps it light and interesting and I do learn from him.

 

[Tony1320]

Erik Cortina and Phil Velayo would be my vote

 

[Steel head]

I'm probably the only one but I like Impact Shooting. keeps it light and interesting and I do learn from him.

I forgot about him.
He’s not bad and he does seem to have a good attitude.

 

[BLKWLFK9]

@velayo_0317 gets my vote

 

[BLKWLFK9]

I've been mulling around the idea of a channel for the podcast. Idk if the juice is worth the squeeze though.

 

[IronicTwitch]

Erik Corina, Impact Shooting, National Rifle League, Philip Velayo, Panhandle Precision

 

[Triple D]

I'm probably the only one but I like Impact Shooting. keeps it light and interesting and I do learn from him.

Nevermind. I misspoke.

Shipping OUS may delay a review 4+ months.

Hi,

Being 99% of firearms have been removed from USML Sec 121 from under DDTC control to Dept of Commerce regulations it is just few weeks at most...depending on destination country import policies.

Theis

 

[trob_205]

Just for pure military equipment Vickers Tactical channel takes the cake IMHO.

 

[bbhank]

Impact shooting for sure!

 

[THEIS]

Nevermind. It’s not an actual firearm

Hi,

What's not?

Nutnfancy.... He will find a way to break your gun...

 

[Tokay444]

Beat me to it, Mark and Sam is a great channel.

Yeah no thanks.
