This video showcases a remarkable 1376-yard elk hunt by a 12-year-old using a Gunwerks rifle chambered in 7mm Rem Mag. It highlights the critical importance of precise range estimation, scope adjustments (32.5 MOA), and marksmanship for extreme long-range success. The hunt involved significant preparation, including hiking and dry-fire practice, culminating in a successful two-shot engagement on a bull elk.

This video demonstrates the significant impact of the Coriolis effect on long-range bullet drop, particularly at 1000 yards. Experiments show directional POI shifts of up to 11 inches (over 1 MOA) when shooting East vs. West due to Earth's rotation. The data suggests collecting ballistic data North or South to mitigate this vertical error.

This video details the initial steps in transforming a factory Remington 700 Sendero into a long-range precision rifle. Key modifications include upgrading the trigger to a crisp 2-pound pull and performing a crucial bedding job on the recoil lug for enhanced shot-to-shot consistency. The process emphasizes meticulous preparation and precise application of bedding compounds and torque settings for optimal performance.
