    Hello @Hickok45 what brand of scope rings did you have on this rifle?



  2. Fabricio Peran on November 15, 2021 at 6:17 pm

    Esse veinho é bom na bala 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Your problem might have been resting the actual barrel on that branch. Kinda throws that whole free floated thing in the toilet 🚽🪠

    I hate shining two liters myself! Lol



  6. knotkool1 on November 15, 2021 at 6:21 pm

    i’m not really a hunter either.
    i only get 2 blacktail, 1 moose and a boo every year. sometimes i go get a dall too



  7. chadadora123 on November 15, 2021 at 6:23 pm

    Resting the actual barrel on a twig or any part of the rifle can effect the rifle harmonics “vibration” and can cause a different point of impact especially at distance. I know you know that. Even sighting in a rifle with a bipod vs shooting the same rifle standing will cause a different point impact. Good video! Just busting your balls

    Daddy always said: “If you cant shoot ‘em, beat ‘em with a hammer.”



  9. Jolujo 58 on November 15, 2021 at 6:24 pm

    All your misses were to the left. A bit of windage adjustment with the dial to the right (2moa+) might have worked the magic 👍
    It’s a rifle I have been considering to purchase among several .308 bolt guns.
    Thanks much Bill for the great vid.



  10. snake thepeg on November 15, 2021 at 6:26 pm

    Whenever I can’t get down to the range I jump on YouTube to watch Hickock do it for me, damn you Americans are lucky!



  11. FreedomOverFeelings on November 15, 2021 at 6:28 pm

    That was painful. But I feel the same way about scopes… I’m not good with them at all. 1.)They seem boring. 2.) it’s expensive 3.) it’s it’s like the nerdy side of shooting.



  12. Big Swede on November 15, 2021 at 6:29 pm

    Its like a 30.06 butt for girls



  13. Jolujo 58 on November 15, 2021 at 6:29 pm

    LOL 🤣 HAMMER TIME!



  14. Joshua Wright on November 15, 2021 at 6:31 pm

    I got this gun it’s cheap but way accurate



  15. Florian schwaiger on November 15, 2021 at 6:31 pm

    What scope is this



  16. دايم السهل on November 15, 2021 at 6:32 pm

    يحتاج الى قوة لان له ارتداد قوي



  17. Jarrett Dossey on November 15, 2021 at 6:34 pm

    🤦‍♂️ My friend. Both eyes open to find your target in your scope works better when your flap flops to the other side. 🤣😂🤣😂



  18. Cranky Gun Reviews on November 15, 2021 at 6:34 pm

    I bought on just for plinking and enjoying on the range 🙂



  19. Vincent Degrasio on November 15, 2021 at 6:35 pm

    Just bought one tonight with a Vortex crossfire 2, excited to take her out this weekend.



  20. John on November 15, 2021 at 6:35 pm

    How do you fix the sticky bolt problem???



  21. mix tips on November 15, 2021 at 6:36 pm

    Im a scoop guy to



  22. Maribel Parado on November 15, 2021 at 6:41 pm

    God bless you Hickok45🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭



  23. gregory barker on November 15, 2021 at 6:42 pm

    If you rest the barrel on something it’ll hit high rest the stock on something that way it doesn’t tweek the barrel



  24. K. on November 15, 2021 at 6:44 pm

    Hello. I own Ruger American 308 shorter version for juniors and womans. How I can better accuracy ? Short barrel not Good 🙁



  25. lars kuno andersen on November 15, 2021 at 6:45 pm

    yeah, red means dead



  26. kgradio on November 15, 2021 at 6:46 pm

    That .308 round sure did a good job making vapor out of that first two-litre you hit.



  27. Mick Moriarty on November 15, 2021 at 6:47 pm

    Great rifles, I have a 223 and a 308 compact.
    Good video, thanks.



  28. MikeH Smith on November 15, 2021 at 6:48 pm

    I’m not a hunter and will never shoot a bolt action rifle as much as my AR or GLOCK but I’m a big fan of quality in my firearms. I have a friend in Alabama who runs a hunting camp and if you have the money he supplies all his customers with model 70 Winchesters in 30.06 and a deer to take home as well as professional guides along with serving everyone breakfast, lunch, and dinner….basically a camp for real hunters and city folks like myself and after several phone conversations he stated for the price point and what I’m trying to accomplish you can’t go wrong with the above mentioned Ruger as well as a decent scope for under 1000 dollars. This man has been doing this stuff for over 50 years and since I have no interest in shooting Elk or Black bear in North America I decided to go with the .308 as well….Great video!



  29. TheShermanTanker on November 15, 2021 at 6:48 pm

    What amazes me is how quickly a few shots from this thing shreds stuff like tempered steel and body armour. I don’t shoot at anything living but I shoot at objects quite often, and blocks of steel look like they’ve been dropped on an industrial grinder after 3 shots from a .308



  30. Chip Flavored Toes on November 15, 2021 at 6:48 pm

    Man you’re near Joelton. Didn’t know I lived near one of my faves



  31. Jeny Bendil on November 15, 2021 at 6:49 pm

    Every Hunter’s dream weapon



  32. Jolujo 58 on November 15, 2021 at 6:50 pm

    LOL "I like to shoot anything"
    A man after my own heart 👍😊



  33. Harrison McCullough on November 15, 2021 at 6:51 pm

    Resting the barrel is not good.



  34. Ivan Joyderpuss on November 15, 2021 at 6:55 pm

    Is this Adrien Wallace?



  35. USNVA11 on November 15, 2021 at 6:56 pm

    Ruger makes a fine firearm. I own several. My Ruger P-85 that I purchased in 1988 has thousands of rounds through it with absolutely no issues.



  36. Tony Alexander on November 15, 2021 at 6:57 pm

    If it cab hit say a size 7 hat at 250, it’ll do !



  37. Lu Beatz on November 15, 2021 at 6:57 pm

    I want to get one, only thing is the retailers in Africa Expensive

  39. Bob Onthis on November 15, 2021 at 7:00 pm

    @ 2:32, this isn’t my game, continues to put a round in a flys ass at 100 yards !!! LOL. Gotta love Hickcock45. 🙂



  40. Martin Mcgimpsey on November 15, 2021 at 7:03 pm

    Wow hickcock45 two million views. I guess there’s a lot people that like a little gong! Lol. Nice shooting by the way!



  41. KelvinShiFTZ on November 15, 2021 at 7:04 pm

  42. leroy thomas on November 15, 2021 at 7:06 pm

    Have to love the brass in hand after a shot



  43. Dorothy Koehler on November 15, 2021 at 7:08 pm

    The first rifle it was a scoop bolt the front one. I filled mine down it was good. But that was my rifle.



  44. Elver Galarga on November 15, 2021 at 7:08 pm

    🤣🤣🤣 what do you like to shoot? “I like to shoot everything!!!!!” -Hickok45



  45. A Spica on November 15, 2021 at 7:08 pm

    free floating barrel until you rest it on a branch



  46. John Robert Hampton on November 15, 2021 at 7:09 pm

    I love a good Hickok 45 video



  47. NahmenJayden on November 15, 2021 at 7:12 pm

    The Ruger American was the first rifle I picked up a few years back and I love it! The big complaint I have is how garbage those plastic magazines are, but Ruger being Ruger they sent me a replacement after the mechanism in the magazine stopped feeding rounds reliably.



  48. सोनू राणा on November 15, 2021 at 7:13 pm

    Awesome ..but how you controle canting effect
