How to Mount a Scope on a Sniper Rifle | Special Forces shooting Techniques | Tactical Rifleman

This guide from Palmetto State Armory demonstrates the proper procedure for mounting a scope onto an AR-style rifle, specifically an M110 A1. It emphasizes ensuring the rifle's upper receiver is level, achieving correct eye relief, and using a torque wrench to tighten both the scope mount and rings to specific inch-pound values. The process includes critical steps for leveling the scope's reticle and alternating screw tightening patterns for even pressure.

This video demonstrates the use of the Wheeler F.A.T. Wrench Auto Torque for installing scope rings. It highlights the tool's ability to automatically set and maintain precise torque, preventing common issues like stripped screws or scope slippage. The integrated light and rechargeable battery are noted as beneficial features for gunsmithing tasks.

This guide details a cost-effective method for constructing a shooting range berm using readily available materials as an alternative to expensive Hesco baskets. It outlines the process of creating wire baskets, lining them with landscaping cloth, and filling them with material using a front-end loader to build a safe shooting environment.

This video demonstrates the use of Wheeler Tools' new Professional Digital Scope Level and Boresighter and the Fat Wrench Auto-Torque for accurate scope mounting. The digital level allows for easy calibration to the rifle's cant, while the auto-torque wrench ensures precise fastener tightening. The system simplifies the process of achieving a level scope, crucial for long-range accuracy.

This guide details a precise method for mounting a rifle scope using bubble levels and a vise to ensure perfect alignment. The process emphasizes leveling the firearm receiver and barrel, then matching the scope's reticle to this level plane. It highlights the importance of incremental tightening and using a torque wrench to prevent damage and ensure consistent performance. The Wheeler UltraScope Mounting Kit is presented as a comprehensive tool for this task.

This guide details a practical method for leveling a scope reticle during the mounting process, crucial for accurate long-range shooting. It emphasizes creating a reliable reference line and using specific tools to ensure precise alignment. Following these steps, as demonstrated by an experienced instructor, helps prevent common mounting errors and ensures optimal optic performance.

Instruction from Karl Erickson of Tactical Rifleman demonstrates a critical close-quarters combat technique: using a tactical fixed blade knife to create space when an opponent attempts to grab a pistol. The video highlights the risks of close-range pistol draws and advocates for a knife transition to safely disengage and re-establish a firing platform. This technique emphasizes anatomical targets for creating distance rather than immediate lethal force.

This guide details a Navy SEAL's CQC room clearing technique, emphasizing 'economy of motion' and precise footwork. It highlights the critical 'long step' maneuver for maintaining balance and readiness when entering a corner-fed room, contrasting it with the dangerous 'short step.' The instruction, delivered by a subject matter expert, focuses on life-saving fundamentals for tactical proficiency.

This guide details an emergency ammo resupply technique using a standard USGI 6-Pocket Bandolier, as demonstrated by Karl Erickson from Tactical Rifleman. It explains how to utilize the bandolier's expandable pockets, designed for 5.56mm magazines, to rapidly pack ammunition for field resupply. The technique emphasizes efficient loading and compact storage for integration into tactical kits.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gelatin test comparing 9mm and .45 ACP defensive ammunition. Instruction comes from Pete, a retired USSF member, who details the performance of Barnes TAC-XPD 9mm and Cor-Bon Pow'R Ball .45 ACP. The comparison focuses on penetration depth, wound cavitation, and feeding reliability, particularly for 1911 platforms.
