Semi Auto Sniper Rifles 2 - XM21(M21), M76, PSL54 and more!

Some pretty good channels out there, but this one? Awesome! Thank you!

Ah, I was waiting for this. Feet up, cup of tea, doesn't get much better than that of an evening.

Cheers ^

Awesome video. I didn't know the ART scopes were essentially modified Redfield 3-9 scopes. Makes sense now since they look so similar.

Hi to Rob and Tony i would like to see you take a AG 42b Swedish with m41 ammo from 100 to 700 yards, the 6.5 Swedish is a tack driver, the only problem is they only made 30.000 of them from 1942 to 1945 please respond if you can. thank you Rob and tony for your great videos.

Great stuff! Thanks for putting out such quality content.

To say Hathcock wasn't the best sniper in Vietnam is blasphemy. He didn't have the most confirmed kills. What he did have was the best field craft. Hence how the Marine Snipers adopted his doctrine for jungle warfare.

I love everything on that table!

Excellent. Two thumbs way up!

The M-14, M-21 get a lot of crap in the gun community. They’re great rifles and one of my personal favorites. Have been since I was a young teenager and first laid my eyes on one at a gun store. My second favorite is the SVD. That’s a rifle I’d love to just shoot one day bc of how crazy expensive they are.

I like all all videos goodjob

I heard him say that he's leaving the M76 for Rob! Video is on the way!

thanks!! great stuff

Rob brings it all to us! History, shooting, comedy! You name it. Thanks for the videos, Rob!

Much of the historical impetus for the criticism of the M-14 service rifle arises from studies of weapons malfunctions and breakdowns in the field while in use with the Marine Corps and U.S. Army. Whereas the USMC adopted Winchester and then Remington bolt-action rifles as their preferred sniping/precision rifle, the army chose to accurize the M-14, and mount a scope on it. The result, which used a variety of optics, was termed the M-21. At that time, when any scoped M-14 suffered a failure of its optic in the field, due to breakage, fogged glass, etc. the entire rifle + scope was tagged for maintenance. Meaning that the rifle was tagged as being in for service, even if nothing was wrong with it. The decision had been taken that the rifles and their optics were administratively to be considered as a unit. This in turn skewed the data against the M-14, which was actually a very reliable and robust combat weapon, whether scoped or with iron sights.

The suppressed M21 with the NVS was prolly the most unwieldy thing I have ever seen. Looking back into the 60's/70's/80's uncovers this crazy sort of meta where our ways of thought just don't apply

Very educational. Thanks Rob and Tony!

The IDF m21 and their other versions also is something to mention.

Goodness, that's a fine looking ART scope. Congrats on the setup!

Great presentation!!!! Lots of fun and informative!!

The PSL is one gun I need for my collection. I like it better than the SVD because of similarities to the RPK.

Just fantastic! Really great overview. You're really well informed (mostly because I agree with you lol!) That M-76 is growing on me, something to be said for 198 grains

Another outstanding video and history along the way. Keep it coming...Outstanding!

Alot of hate for the m14, but i sure do like them , granted ive never been forced to use one in combat, but yeah , i like them alot

Sorry guys but Carlos Hathcock WAS the best sniper in Vietnam. It's not because of numbers, which most people like to use as the measuring stick, it's because of the incredible missions that he pulled off and survived. He should have received the Medal of Honor for his rescue of several fellow Marines from a flaming amtrac during which he was severely burned and which ended his sniping career in Vietnam. The man is a legend and in my mind he and Chesty Puller are drinking buddies in heaven.

I love the 3006 forever!

Kind of hard, sometimes, to make precision shots, laying prone, with a 9 inch magazine sticking out the bottom.

Great presentation guys.
Thanks

Thumbs up!

I have an m-600 ART that I acquired in the last century. Interesting concept but nowhere around here that I could stretch it out.

We still had an m21 with the art2 scope in use during desert storm . It was very accurate .

This channel is awesome

Good stuff

What kind of spotting scope are you using in your shooting videos?

I like the fact that you mentioned the 30-06. I have a Noreen Arms 30-06 precision AR-10 and I have shot it out to 1200 yds and I can get 6 out of 10 hits on steel. But that wasn't with a lot of load development and time on the trigger. It takes a lot of practice and knowledge of your firearm to achieve those shots. My other favorite long range firearm is my Uintah Precision AR-10 bolt action .308. If you think the 7.62x51 is limited then the Uintah Precision AR-10 bolt actions will make rethink the .308/7.62x51. That's just my thoughts. Awesome video!!!

The M14 was never a great infantry rifle nor sniper rifle. The article titled: "The M14, Not Much For Fighting ( A Case Against The M14 Legend )" debunks the Boomer gun shop Fuddlore myths of the M14.

Thank you 🙏

AWESOME STUFF YALL!!!! AWESOME!!!

👍👍👍good vids

Yugoslavia was never a Soviet satellite state, still dirty commies, though. Stalin tried to execute Tito a few times and failed.

I always thought that Hathcock was looked up to because of his field craft and his ability to use that old hunting rifle with the extremely shot out barrel.. that he refused to replace... haa haa!!

i love chasing rabbits. i might need to put my 7.62 tube back on my M1a. Now where'd i put that pipe wrench.

Marine here. I’ll not stand here and listen to your blasphemy about who the best sniper was. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Repent blasphemer so you may be forgiven otherwise you’re gonna burn in hell 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

No, Hathcock was the best. He didn’t get the most CONFIRMED KILLS, but probables were off the charts.

Maybe you can do a part 3.
Try including the FAL, AR-10 and PSG-1.
I'd those are available.

Carlos Hathcock was one of my range instructors at the Basic School at Quantico....very humble man and one of the greatest snipers in the Marine Corps. Semper Fi.

I was reading Mekong Mud Dogs by Ed Eaton and he had a few comments about a sniper named Waldron in the 9th that did not paint such a rosey picture of his activities in the bush....

i think you missed the m1 carbine set up. and maybe the vss.

I really like this video, 30-06 is my choice for those old weapons.

Guys, I misspoke about Yugoslavia when talking about M76. Yugoslavia never was a member of the Warsaw Pact.
Anyway, thanks for watching and please spread the word! Share the video out! Ha!
