St. George Arms will be showcasing their award-winning Leader 50 A1 semi-automatic bullpup sniper rifle chambered for .50 BMG at this year’s NRA Annual Meeting.

The U.S. Army has selected Heckler & Koch to build their updated CSASS rifles and the Marines are going back to the old way of cleaning theirs.

Say hello to the SilencerCo Hybrid, rated 9mm through .338 Lapua Magnum. The Hybrid is one can you can use on a huge range of pistols and rifles.

Need help seeing shot placement? Check out the Bullseye target camera. Live, remote images track individual hits. No need for a spotting scope, even. And it works as far as a mile away. Get flashing before/after images as soon as the bullet punches the paper.

Break out the calculators–we’re doing some math. This isn’t count-on-your-fingers math, either. We’re talking about the Mil-Dot reticle scope and its use. And this is valuable information for anyone who shoots long range. This isn’t Mil-Dot Made Easy–we’ve done that one already. This is the advanced lesson.

Nikon has taken a different approach to solving the challenge of quickly finding the right scope adjustments for a given cartridge and rifle combination. Rather than forcing the shooter to use an “average” ammo load and hoping performance from their specific rifle matches the ballistic drop reticle, they’ll customize a scope for you, your rifle, and the exact type of ammunition you like to shoot. Read our review.

Even if just one of the fundamentals of marksmanship is not properly applied, accuracy is going to suffer. Breathing is probably the most important, and at the same time most misunderstood fundamental of long range marksmanship. Here are some tested tips that will ensure you perform as well as your gun.

Can You Shoot 1,000 Yards with a .308 AR-15 style rifle? Well, can you? Conventional wisdom says no. After all, AR’s are semi-automatic designs, with hot burning gas of doom smothering all the important parts like gravy over Cracker Barrel’s Chicken Fried Chicken. Heck, the upper and lower receivers are stuck together with simple push pins. AR-type rifles can’t be all that accurate, can they?

How do you control the myriad of factors that influence long range accuracy? You need decent math skills. You should choose your ammunition carefully. But you really need to start with the gun itself. Many long range shooters depend on a chassis for their rifle that can fit their needs precisely. Are they worth the extra effort and expense? We’ll answer this with the help of Accuracy International’s new AX AICS.
