  • Shawn has a new interest in Long Range Precision shooting. 
  • Jose talks about your first rifle in the long range game. (Bergara) right out of the box is a kiler shooting rifle. Being a Rem 700 footprint you still get all the after market support.
  • Shawn listening to us echo the things he’s heard about rifles from friends suggesting what factory rifles to get into precision rifle hearing the tikka or the Bergara are great options.
  • Getting a Remington 700 into the kind of shooting shape that it needs to be you’ll be spending another 400ish on the gunsmithing to get it trued and rebarreled to make it shoot.
  • Joses choice of starting action the Zermatt origin for $825
  • Buy once cry once is a philosophy you’ll eventually get if you keep in this sport.

  • The knowledge you have to have is a scary thing to new shooters.
  • You do not need a 300 win mag for getting into long range shooting. Stay away from the magnum if you are getting into long range.
  • Factory ammo vs hand loading. The new factory match ammo is getting as good as some of the hand loads. Just remember that the wind will kill you more than obsessing over getting you load as good as it can get.
  • Quit competing against the top guys. Compete against the guys that are of the same skill level as you.
  • Misconceptions, everyone goes to Facebook to learn at thats not always the right place to go.  People think they are self proclaimed experts and what they run is the best. Don’t trust when someone says that. 
  • New product section Area 419 Hellfire Match and Boring Rifles Titanium self timing brakes
  • Dont worry about being overwhelmed. Focus on the first move and jump into it.
