Long range shooting - What do you have to have?

Published: Sept. 1, 2020, noon

In this episode, Dwayne and Zack dig deeper on "buy once, cry once". We've talked about spending more on ARs, handguns, and optics, so now we're talking in more detail on what you really need in a long-range weapon. Which components are the most important, and what might you see as you go up in price ranges.

  • Less expensive = more mass produced = less quality control
  • Quality of barrel
  • Action “true”
  • Free floated barrel
  • Trigger
  • MOA vs accuracy
  • How much does group size matter? - Brian Litz blog from PrecisionRifleBlog.com
  • Dwayne's results between Ruger Precision and custom rig. Was it worth it?
