The second consideration is the Rifle, the key is to get one with a good barrel, a good stock and one designed for the task. The average hunting rifle is not ideal for longer ranges. Being both accurate and precise. These are the fundamental basics to get started, however, you will also need a range of additional tools if you plan to do it seriously. The tools are what we use to determine our firing solution.
They are used to estimate the Wind locally, to do the same for environmental conditions that affect the trajectory of the bullet, to range the targets and to look at the environment to determine the effects of Wind, and its direction and speed down range.
Many long-range shooters will also use a phone app to do the math required to work out the drop to the target based on the data generated by the tools.
The app. There are plenty more options, like scope levels and bipods that should be considered — every part of the system counts as the room for error is much smaller at distance. Long range rifles used to be designed for practiced military snipers, often based on the Remington Model and other similar actions.
Today, with the sport having become popular worldwide, manufacturers have stepped up, offering more cost-effective options for the general public. Then you can add on extras. Today we are spoiled for choices at reasonable prices. Of course, there are options to spend a great deal more, such as custom rifles from the likes of Gunwerks and GA who specialize in long range hunting rifles built to your specification , or the more military type from Accuracy International, Cadex Defence, Surgeon, Barrett, Blaser, Steyr, and many more.
The options are vast, and as usual with any large purchase, taking time to try out what you can, and asking questions at your local club, dealer or Facebook group helps with making the right decision.
The time-honored saying of "you get what you pay for" generally applies here as does "measure twice and cut once" - Get the very best you can afford, especially with optics you often want to spend more on optics than the rifle , to avoid having to keep trading up later. You would also do well to consider your "mission" and therefore what caliber rifle you need hunting, target or match before you go shopping.
In the end, you need a heavy-barreled rifle with a good trigger, bipod and quality stock, plus a good quality higher magnification scope to get started. You will also need high quality "match" ammunition, and few more optional tools, like a rangefinder, wind meter, and spotting scope, that we will cover in detail later in the course.
Long range shooting is indeed costlier than a basic hunting or target setup but is also accessible to most shooters with a reasonable budget. No amount of money or equipment will buy you a spot in the winners' circle. Buy the best equipment you can afford, find a good load for it and go practice your technique at short range, a lot. Once you are hitting the mark at yards consistently and shooting little bug hole groups, then it is time to shoot longer range.
Guess what the wind is doing and take a shot. Observe what happened and record that information for later use.
Now rinse and repeat often. So many people think it is about the amount of money spent. In reality, it's about the amount of time spent practicing. By far the hardest part of the switch is learning how to read and compensate for the effects of the Wind and other environmental factors.
The Wind is described as the big equalizer. Those that are good at reading and making changes to their shots for it are by far the best long-range shooters — even with inferior equipment — they will outshoot those not as experienced or skilled in Wind reading. Once you master the Wind, you will be an excellent long-range shooter. One of the biggest challenges many of us face is being able to get in any practice at long distances, many ranges are only yards in the US. Many just have a few slots open even if they have a long-range option and so for many of us that leaves us looking for BLM or private land to shoot on.
