After testing the PSA AR15 10.5 inch short barreled rifle and the video doing really well I knew that I need to do another testing video on a Palmetto State Armory complete rifle. I didn’t want to do another AR15 so I elected to go with a Gen 3 PA65. Essentially this rifle is an AR10 chambered in 6.5 creedmoor. I love this caliber and it is quickly taking the market over as the choice for long range rifle enthusiasts. Below is a look at the firearm.
TESTING
When I test a rifle or any gun for that matter I always want to put the gun through real world scenarios. Here are the 3 different tests that I put the PSA Gen 3 PA65 through.
- Accuracy Test
- Two Box Torture Test
- Visual Test
The first test is the accuracy test. This test is comprised of sighting in the rifle and then shooting a 100 yard 3 shot group to see how close the shots are. On this rifle I was fortunate to have a Blackhound Evolve series 3-18×50 scope. It came with rings so it was perfect for the test.
The second test is the “Two Box Torture Test”. When I test a rifle I honestly can not afford to just run 100s of rounds though it so I came up with the idea to do the two box test. Two boxes is a total of 40 rounds and I feel that this can give a good representation of someone going to the range to practice for a day.
The third test is my first impression of the rifle. How does the rifle look? How does it function and some key features about it that I like. I want to give anyone looking at this firearm a look at it and help them make a buying decision or not. Take a look at the video below to see how this rifle scored and the things that I like about it.
