Every rifle makes a snap when fired, but some rifles make history with the same action. The M24 does both, but mostly the latter. In a world gone mad with high-rate-of-fire platforms and tactical gear that looks better on Instagram than it performs in the field, the M24 bolt-action rifle remains a stoic monument to […]
Sniper: noun A person who shoots from a hiding place, especially accurately and at long range. “The terrorist was killed by a Marine sniper’s bullet in Iraq.” The sniper is one of the most effective and accurate tools on the battlefield. By using a sniper you don’t accidentally kill civilians which is quite common to […]

In the world of marksmanship, more specifically, precision rifle, there are a million different opinions on how to do things. “I’m an NRA shooter and this is how I do it”. “My grandpa fought in WW2 and he said this is the best way to do this”. “I read the blog of a guy who […]

Eager to satisfy the Special Operations Command’s (SOCOM) appetite for technological innovation and improved efficiency, researchers are developing a new armor-piercing sniper round. During the National Defense Industries Association Armaments Symposium (NDIAAS), researchers with the Crane Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NAVSEA) had the opportunity to present their ideas and show the progress […]
I’ve seen some pretty talented shooters making the same basic mistakes at the range. Over and over again, I see (and have fallen victim to) brain farts that should elude all but the most basic shooter. Screws that weren’t properly torqued coming loose in scope rings, spending far too long (and too many rounds) trying […]
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 […]
One of the best sayings I heard as a Ranger was, “the experts don’t have a bunch of secret knowledge, they’ve just mastered the basics”. Mastering your standard shooting positions, trigger control and sight alignment are the vast majority of what is needed to shoot precisely. Every now and then, former Ranger sniper team-leader Ryan […]
As technology marches forward, the limits of what was once thought barely possible have been pushed farther and farther forward. One mile shots were once a thing of legend (or fantasy) but are now within the envelope for many shooters. Long range hunting used to mean 200 yards for many hunters, now we have marksmen […]
