The Burris XTR PS is a new tactical scope designed for precision shooters, featuring a 34mm tube and mechanical adjustments. A key innovation is its heads-up display (HUD) that connects to the Burris Connect app to push ballistics data, allowing for one-yard adjustments without needing a continuous connection. The scope offers features like angle compensation, windage correction display, and an integrated shot timer for competitive shooting.

This video demonstrates advanced long-range handgun shooting techniques using a custom Thompson/Center Encore in 6.5 JDJ. The instructor highlights the importance of specialized equipment, ballistic calculations via apps, and precise shooting techniques to achieve accuracy at distances up to 500 yards. The demonstration emphasizes overcoming challenges posed by magnification, wind, and bullet drop with a handgun.

This episode of Long Range Pursuit Podcast delves into the evolution and functionality of rangefinders, differentiating between 'smart' ballistic rangefinders and older 'dumb' models. The discussion highlights how smart rangefinders integrate rifle ballistics and environmental sensors (temperature, pressure, humidity, angle) for accurate ballistic solutions, eliminating the need for separate devices like Kestrels or dope cards. Key topics include the limitations of traditional methods like dope cards and BDC turrets when environmental conditions change, the superiority of dialing turrets over holding for wind under stress, and the inaccuracies of the 'rifleman's rule' for angle compensation beyond 500 yards and 20 degrees. The importance of verifying rangefinder offset and the advanced features of ballistic rangefinders, such as multiple gun profiles and trajectory validation, are also emphasized.

This video provides practical instruction on effectively using a rifle scope's reticle for various shooting applications. It covers essential techniques such as zeroing an optic by measuring group centers with the reticle, applying windage and elevation holds, and making corrections based on impact points. The instructor also details advanced uses like measuring wobble zone, calculating speed drop with a Kestrel, and determining maximum point blank range, emphasizing the reticle as a versatile measurement tool.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of Bullet Drop Compensating (BDC) reticles, Minute of Angle (MOA), and Mil Radian (MRAD) systems for firearm optics. The instructor, with extensive experience, argues for the superiority of MRAD for its mathematical simplicity, communication clarity, and adaptability in long-range shooting scenarios. The content details the pros and cons of each system, focusing on practical application, communication, and the mathematical underpinnings of ballistic calculations.

This video demonstrates a long-range engagement technique from the perspective of an American Outlaw channel. An advanced shooter, guided by a spotter, engages a target at 1000 meters using an AR-15 platform rifle with an ACOG-style optic. The spotter provides crucial ballistic corrections, including milliradian adjustments for elevation and windage, highlighting effective communication and precision shooting skills required for extreme distances.

This video documents a Level 3 long-range shooting course combined with an Axis deer hunt on Molokai, Hawaii. The course emphasizes practical application of learned skills in hunting scenarios, focusing on making wind calls, choosing shooting positions, and executing shots at extreme angles and distances. Participants faced challenging conditions including significant trade winds and varied topography, highlighting the importance of accurate windage calculations and shot placement for ethical hunting.

This video outlines five essential online resources for precision rifle enthusiasts. It details how to use the Applied Ballistics website's calculator for generating range cards, the Berger website's twist rate calculator for ensuring bullet stability, and Sniper's Hide for advanced ballistics data. Additionally, it highlights Storm Tactical for printable targets and Gun University for comprehensive firearm reviews with a unique grading system.

This video introduces the Revic Acura BLR-10B rangefinding binoculars, highlighting their integration with the Revic ballistic solver for fast, intuitive ballistic calculations. Key features include 'shoot-to-range' capability for BDC turrets, windage correction, and a maximum range of 5000 yards. The video also touches upon Gunwerks' strategic investments in manufacturing and engineering, exemplified by their new Nexus rifle system, which offers a switch-barrel design and elegant styling at a competitive price point.

The Revic BLR-10b ballistic rangefinding binoculars integrate seamlessly with the Revic ballistic solver app, allowing for custom profile loading and on-device calculations. A standout feature is its 'shoot-to-range' capability, offering direct BDC turret corrections, a unique offering in the market. The binoculars also provide wind solutions, including vector wind input for speed and direction, and boast a maximum range of 5000 yards on reflective targets.

This guide details how to precisely adjust the windage of an M1A or M1 Garand's front sight. It involves calculating the required adjustment based on rear sight corrections, measuring the existing front sight overhang with calipers, and physically moving the front sight to a new, precise position. This is a permanent adjustment for ammunition changes, with field adjustments made via the rear sight.
