Ralph Hicks from RTH Firearms Introduces Their Revolutionary Precision Long Range Semi-auto Hun

[ADMIN]

Ralph Hicks introduces his new precision semi-auto rifle with sub-sub MOA performance and explains how his team produced it.

We've all been in a situation where we needed to make a very fast, precise follow-up shot. In most cases, we missed our first shot because of a sudden gust of wind or DOPE was just flat-out wrong. If we fail to make the second shot, the consequences are significant: we either lose the prize game we targeted, we lose the match, or somebody gets killed.

So Len, are you going to get your hands on one of these for review?

Ralph---I'm very interested in the Hunter model, but you don't give the weight, and I know the AR-10s are notoriously heavy. Also, would it be possible to get a barrel longer that 18"? John Baney, over in accurateshooter.com, has done a lot of research on various calibers, and one of his favorite things to do is start with a 32" barrel and cut it down in 2" steps to 16", testing various loads at each level. He gets a nice progression of low velocity drops at each level until he hits 24". Then there is a sizeable jump at 22", with increased jumps after that. I'd sure hate to lose a possible 75 fps going from 24" to 18" just for the sake of a few oz that could be offset by fluting the barrel.
Thanks for your consideration,
George
