RECEIVER- The receiver is the heart of the system. The receiver connects the barrel, bolt, trigger, safety, stock, and rings to the optic. A custom or “blueprinted” factory receiver have tighter tolerances than a stock, factory action and increase the odds of better accuracy. BARREL- Many different options from material, thickness, twists, rifling, different crowns, muzzle brakes, suppressors etc… Pro’s and con’s of Carbon Fiber barrels Pro’s and con’s of SS barrels Chamber and it’s effect on accuracy

RIFLING AND TWIST RATES- Lands and grooves help to stabilize the bullet as it leaves the barrel. The proper twist is required to stabilize the high BC bullets that are used. Without rifling your bullet would immediately start to tumble. You will want to know the twist rate to input in your ballistic app and is either listed on the barrel or is easy to obtain. STOCK- The stock connects the receiver and the action. The stock is one of the most under appreciated aspects of the shooting system. A good, high quality stock of the appropriate engineering aids in your natural point of aim, shoot ability, trigger control as well as recoil management. We ALWAYS want to have the ability to attach a bipod to the front of the stock. We also want to be able to have a sling on our stock. We much prefer a vertical palm grip on our stocks which increase the chance of have straight line pressure on your trigger. It also aids tremendously in recoil management.
