I can hear \u201cIt\u2019s the most wonderful time of year …\u201d playing on repeat in the back of my mind as I scan through magazines and online stores while I start piecing together my Christmas wish list. As I\u2019ve gotten older I\u2019ve found that it gets harder and harder to not only buy gifts for the ones I know and love but also create a Christmas list for me to give to them.\u00a0\u00a0 I mean I usually have to create a roadmap to the things that I like complete with links, pictures, and very specific instructions about color options and features, which pretty much sucks the fun out right out of it.\u00a0 I know I’m not alone in this too and\u00a0 I think being a long-range shooter makes the process a little more complicated because a) a lot of long-range accessories are expensive and b) my family knows nothing about long range shooting.\u00a0 I love them to death but they have no concept of optics, ammunition, or the multitude of accessories that are available, I might as well tell them to get me some uranium.<\/p>\n

Now I took my time with this list because, well, it\u2019s my actual Christmas list, I think it would disingenuous if I just put the newest, most expensive items on here.\u00a0 I’m sure like a lot of folks one of my problems is that there’s just so much cool stuff to choose from it wouldn’t be hard to create a Christmas list that could be listed on the NASDAQ.\u00a0 So recognizing this issue I think I did a pretty good job of sorting the wheat from the chaff so that I have some items that sort of span the cost spectrum to make it a little easier on my family.\u00a0\u00a0 Not only are these items high-quality products that will make great gifts, any long range shooter is going to be able to find them useful.\"Going<\/p>\n

Kestrel 5700 Weather Meter<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Kestrel 5700 Elite with Applied Ballistics is first on my list because it is the most the expensive and probably the one item that I’m going to get the most use out of. Call me old school or just slow to catch up with the times but I’m still using an older weather meter and data cards to work out my dope for long-range shots.\u00a0 When I had only a couple of rifles it was easier to develop this data and use but now that I have multiple rifles in different calibers it’s just not as easy as it once was. The Kestrel 5700 changes all of that because it integrates a fantastic ballistic calculator directly into Kestrel’s class-leading weather meters and the best part is that the two talk to each other.\u00a0 While the Kestrel getting information about the world around it, it\u2019s also feeding that information to the Applied Ballistics program and in turn, it spits out real-time ballistic data for your rifle.\u00a0\u00a0 Not only can the Kestrel track basic information like wind speed, temperature, and humidity, it can also read wind direction and compass points too.\u00a0 The Applied Ballistics program contains a large bullet library so that you can be sure you\u2019re getting the right information and at the push of a button you can true the system up to match what you\u2019re seeing down range to make more accurate.\u00a0 I\u2019ve put off having one of these for too long and I think it\u2019s time that I come into the 21st<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n

MSRP: $609 \u2013 $709\"Going<\/p>\n

Armageddon Gear Clutch System<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pound for pound the heaviest thing I carry for my precision rifles, either at the range or to a match is the assortment of bags that can help me support the rifle in different positions.\u00a0 Armageddon Gear recently created an option that I hope will cut down on the weight and bulk a little with their Armageddon Gear Clutch Shooting Bag System.\u00a0 \u00a0This one bag is actually two that can be snapped together to form a larger support bag Transformers style, which means it could easily take the place of three of my other bags.\u00a0\u00a0 One of the two bags is a wedge-shaped bag that is perfect for going under the buttstock to support the rear of the rifle when going for precision and accuracy.\u00a0 The second bag is more or less cubed shaped, which can be attached to the front of the rifle with the sewn-in strap and fastex buckle to pad it when shooting from various types of barricades.\u00a0 When the two bags are snapped together they create a larger support bag that is perfect for barricades, fence posts, gates, or just about any other shooting situation.\u00a0 I\u2019m all about reducing the weight and bulk of the stuff I need to carry around and this seems like a great place to start.<\/p>\n

MSRP: $120\"Going<\/p>\n

PASS Bipod Adapters<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

A good bipod is a must have for any serious long-range rifle and Harris bipods are amongst the best that you can buy but how can you make a good bipod better?\u00a0\u00a0 Primary Adaptive Solution Systems Bipod Adapters can convert your ho-hum Harris bipod into a versatile, modular bipod for just about any long range shooting situation.\u00a0\u00a0 The PASS adapters replace the standard rubber bipod feet with a female socket that can accept Atlas bipod compatible accessories such as leg extensions, spiked feet, rubber feet, and so on.\u00a0 Instead of having to carry multiple bipods and\/or a tripod, you can have a single Harris bipod with a few accessories and a set of leg extensions that can handle any terrain from mud to mountains.\u00a0 A Gen II version also makes the Atlas accessories even easier to change out since they now use a more quick disconnect style of attachment then before.<\/p>\n

MSRP: $44\"Going<\/p>\n

SOLO HNTR Rifle Scabbard<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re serious about hunting and shooting then chances are you\u2019ve been out in all kinds of weather and one of the challenges is always how to keep the weather out of the action and bore.\u00a0\u00a0 The Solo Hntr Rifle Covers<\/strong> aims to help with that by providing a lightweight solution to completely cover the rifle to keep out unwanted water, dirt, mud, and debris but still be fast and easy to remove.\u00a0 The body of the cover is made from durable rip stop nylon treated to be water resistant with tough Cordura nylon covering the muzzle and buttstock where it could see more wear.\u00a0 Elastic runs up the sides of the cover to not only hold it place but also adjust for different lengths of rifles with versions made to cover up to 56\u201d long rifles.\u00a0 These covers are available in Stone and camo colors but I\u2019m going to opt for the Stone color since it\u2019s a more neutral color, which I prefer.<\/p>\n

MSRP: $29<\/p>\n

MTM Ammo Crates<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\"Going\n

What do you absolutely have to have to go shooting?\u00a0 Ammo!\u00a0 If you\u2019re anything like me you also tend to take a healthy amount of it to the range because it\u2019s just not as fun with one rifle and a couple boxes of ammo.\u00a0 You start getting ready and you realize that there’s that .308 you hardly ever take out anymore, the 12 ga shotgun from Granddaddy, the pistols, you need to zero the scope on your precision rifle, and you can\u2019t forget the ARs.\u00a0 By the time you load up all of those you could be looking at quite a few ammo cans you need to tote around so wouldn\u2019t it be nice if there was an easier solution?\u00a0 MTM has the answer to their line of MTM Ammo Crates made specifically to hold boxes and boxes of ammo or other items.\u00a0 The crates are designed to take a lot of weight and keep on trucking with the ACR4, one of the smaller crates, handling up to 65 lbs worth of ammo and the larger ones taking on up to 85 lbs.\u00a0 Now, I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d want to tote around 85 lbs of ammo but it\u2019d be awesome either way.\u00a0 A new version of the crates accepts four separate MTM ammo cans in an easy to transport tote that offers a great way to organize your ammunition for the range as well as conveniently carry four ammo cans at once.\u00a0\u00a0 All versions are also stackable for easy storage.<\/p>\n

MSRP: $14\u2013 $20<\/p>\n

Hornady Concentricity Tool<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Going<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When shooting at long range consistency is key and inconsistencies in your ammunition can spell the difference between a solid hit and a weird flier you\u2019re just going to blame on the wind.\u00a0 As good as modern ammunition can be it\u2019s not quite perfect and Hornady Concentricity Tool can help remove the runout from loaded ammunition so that it is more concentric to the bore.\u00a0 Being more concentric to the bore means it engages the lands evenly and consistently, which should mean fewer fliers down range.\u00a0 Hand loaders can also use this tool to true up their ammunition and make their load just a little bit better.\u00a0 The Concentricity Tool is easy to use and can be used for a variety of popular cartridges and calibers, I don’t think any serious shooter should be without one.<\/p>\n

MSRP: $111<\/p>\n
