Consider All Your Options

Consider All Your Options Much as an athlete has a favorite discipline, the hunter has an affinity for a specific, or certain disciplines, be that competition shooting, skeet, and clays, or upland wingshooting, or deer hunting in the South somewhere. Even though all of these share certain elements and features, there are also vast differences that discern them whether that is the target or the firearm one would use. The wing-shooter looks at the best shotguns in the market just as the hunter looks at a good rifle and the features that support his quest for taking down a good buck or another animal. Even enthusiasts that shoot at stationary targets, or moving back, may not always shoot over the same distances. Many shoot at targets closer to them than, say, the long-range shooter that can go up to impressive distances of very close to – or over – a 1, 000 yards. It makes sense that this type of hunter or shooter should possess better skills and certainly a better type of rifle than those that do not need the same precision, for example. It makes perfect sense that the further from your target the more difficult it becomes because there are so many additional issues to be factored in.

Certain skills can be taught, which is why shooters – certainly those that want to experience success at long ranges – often attend shooting class at a school near them, or one of their choices further away. A good course leader pays attention to various issues such as the individual’s ability as a shooter and how to improve upon that, how he/she handles their rifle, how they pay attention to body position, how they read the environment and allow for fluctuation in wind direction and speed, for example. There are indeed many different issues to be considered to be sure you give yourself a great chance to hit the first time over the longer distances. Of course, no-one will deny that the rifle one uses can make a huge difference too. Therefore shooters make sure they consider all of their options in terms of the rifle they get for this discipline. Very often the hunter gets one chance at their target only, especially when they are further away, such as with long-range shooting. Therefore, in addition to being taught good values and skills, it is important to consider the different long-range rifles. There are several good options to choose from, many of which have proved


themselves over time to hold their own, even if some just have the edge over some others. There are different choices in the market, and depending on certain specific requirements and preferences many long-range shooters may mention one or more of the following. For example, a rifle such as a Remington comes to mind for its popularity with certain snipers in the military, often because it offers its customization options. Of course, there is also the Howa HCR, mentioned for its popularity as both competition and hunting rifle. There are others such as the Tikka and, for many still the best of them all – the well-supported PROOF Research. This rifle is known for great qualities such as being configured to offer great accuracy, which is what every hunter wants, every time they fire. One of its greatest defining features remains it lightweight carbon fiber barrel which is favored over most others. They are lighter, stronger than more traditional steel barrels and they are very accurate and precise; they are often mentioned, too, for offering fine performance in harsh conditions whether that is inclement weather or difficult terrain. This brand has made a great name for itself and continues to impress – and grow in popularity. It is, indeed, one of the very best long-range rifles.
