EP 199: Tiny A.F. | Skunkwerks Project

This video showcases the Gunwerks Tiny A.F. rifle, highlighting its ultra-compact design for travel. The team demonstrates packing the rifle into a Pelican Air 1535 case, emphasizing its ability to fit standard airline carry-on dimensions. The footage follows their journey via private aircraft to the Sheep Show in Reno, Nevada, illustrating specialized logistics for transporting high-end firearms.

This entry details the arrival of a new Gunwerks Skunkwerks project in Las Vegas, likely for SHOT Show. The visual narrative follows a Gunwerks representative transporting the project in a Pelican Air hard case through Harry Reid International Airport. The process highlights the professional handling and specialized gear required for transporting firearms to major industry events.

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.

This video showcases a successful long-range coyote hunt in Montana using a Gunwerks rifle. Dustin Butler demonstrates effective predator calling and engagement techniques, highlighting the rifle's performance across various distances, from close-range shots to over 500 yards. The 'range, dial, and kill' workflow is emphasized for efficient long-range hunting.
