Competition

If you have ever shot a .45 ACP all day long, you know the training value of soft recoil. The new Syntech is the softest shooting factory round I have ever picked up.

As the flagship of the Bushnell Elite Tactical line, my expectations are high for the XRS II. I’m happy to report that Bushnell hasn’t failed.

This Versus by Caracal USA stands out by packing a ton of premium competition-ready features into a surprisingly affordable package.

Working to compete with the world’s best is not done in competition; it’s done in the countless hours of training on the range. Here’s how I prepare for competition.

A precision rifle stock should fit you like an old pair of boots. But picking the right stock for your rig can be a challenge because of all the options.

The new Pro 700 chassis is Magpul’s solution for Remington 700 short-action barreled receivers. The stock is in production and shipping now.

“It was very, very calm Saturday morning. The mirage was not bad. It was just a really good day to shoot,” he said. “All five shots went off real smooth. I didn’t have to alter my rest. I felt good about it, but I had no idea it would be anything close to that.”

Before I talk about the features of the gun, let me say that this gun and my time behind it has led me to rethink my immediate negative reaction when some gun writer pens the phrase, “Practical Accuracy.” When seen within context of most articles I have always winced, viewing it as a dog whistle indicating poor accuracy. However, my off-the-shelf Hudson H9 that I purchased from a retailer has me re-defining practical accuracy more generously, i.e., being able to hit targets of a size commensurate with the defensive use of a handgun, effectively at practical distances and speed. 

One of the biggest problems with these bubble levels mounted on the scopes or rifles was that you had to take your eyes off of the reticle to actually refocus on the bubble to see what the level indicated. The Send iT electronic level from Long Range Arms corrects that problem by using lighted LEDs to indicate when the gun is level.
