I used my Watchman XR 22 ARC for the first time when I went hog hunting in central east Texas.  What an incredible machine! I intended to use a Q 300 blackout Honey Badger; however, I ran into problems with the ammo not wanting to load.  So, I quickly had to swap over to my 22 ARC.  I was lucky to have brought it with me.  I wasn’t sure how well this caliber would work on feral hogs, but it efficiently handled them.  I was shooting from 100 yards to 150 yards as the hogs were busy burrowing through the hay field. If Rise decides to make this in a 300 blackout, I will grab one.

  1. Excellent rifle and excellent accuracy, have about 250 rounds through it and combined with a huxwrx can it is deadly on coyotes, seems to love the factory Hornady black 75 grain eldms, haven’t had to change anything from the get go, can’t say enough good things about this rifle.

  2. Received my Watchman 22 ARC, sighted it in and shot five shot groups under .3 of an inch at 100 yards. Incredible accuracy!

  3. Took rifle out and sighted it in and shot a .4 inch group @ 100. Very happy with the build quality and the trigger is absolutely lights out!! Love it
