Sniper’s Choice | Bolt-action vs. Semi-auto precision rifles

Bolt-action vs. Semi-auto There is an ongoing debate as to whether someone should purchase a semi-automatic rifle or a bolt-action rifle for long-range precision shooting. There are a few key variances in both which make them very different, and probably contribute to the wide divergence in opinion. Typically, the bolt-action precision rifle is considered more accurate than a semi automatic. However, this depends […]

TAB GEAR Bullet Binder: First Impression

The TAB GEAR Bullet Binder | A must for Precision Shooters

I’ve been a big fan of TAB GEAR products for some time now. My first encounter with TAB GEAR was during a sniper train-up before a deployment with the 75th Ranger Regiment, and I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of one of their first sniper slings. Since then, I’ve seen the progression of the company as they’ve […]

IronMan Backpack | MASSIVE 500 Round Ammunition Backpack

The first position that I held in Ranger Battalion was light/heavy machine gunner.  It was our job to become efficient with just about every light or heavy machine gun in our arsenal, including various grenade launchers. The majority of the time, we would carry our ammo in a small backpack and only feed the gun […]

The Carlos Hathcock Sniper Rifle!

Editors note: Carlos Hathcock Born this day, May 20, 1942 I had a chance to take a trip back in time recently and shot the Winchester Model 70 .30-06 using an 8-power Unertl scope, the same set up that the famous Carlos Hathcock used while he was in Vietnam.  I was quickly brought back to reality […]

The Over Exaggerated "C" Clamp Grip | Hype or Not?

The Over Exaggerated “C” Clamp Grip | Hype or Not?

Over the past 6 years or so, combative and realistic shooting techniques have adopted a new, exaggerated shooting stance/style.  I first saw this way of shooting while serving overseas and a couple of guys were using it during shooting drills before an op. The shooters who use this style of shooting claim that it reduces […]

Shooting 6.5 Creedmoor out to 1000 yards!

The following video is of myself along with good friend and spotter Todd L. shooting out to 1000 yards using the 6.5 Creedmoor! For those of you who are into long-range precision and competing, you will love this round. Let me first start off by stating that this cartridge is extremely forgiving.  The 6.5 Creedmoor […]
