The Essential Fundamentals Of Precision Long Range Rifle

 Long range shooting is a journey.  Little did I know, as a young Marine recruited to  Surveillance – Target Acquisition Platoon in 1986, that I would still be in this game some thirty-seven years later.  That is how some journeys are.  One doesn’t realize that a journey has been undertaken until  time passes and you find you are traveling the same path.



     The knowledge I acquired in that position was leading-edge for long range shooters of the time.  My instructors and mentors were a mix of competitive shooters and military snipers.  In those days the only shooters with any interest in ranges beyond short hunting ranges were of those two disciplines.



The Realization

     I  thought I had it all figured out.  The reality was I had acquired fundamentals and a small amount of knowledge, but had very little understanding...

Carbon or a shot out barrel?

These photos are from my 6.5SAUM with about 350 rounds on it. The bad pictures are from an inch or two after the throat. The good picture is middle of the barrel. Is that just carbon or is that fire cracking of the steel? Should I keep trying to scrub it out or is it part of the barrel steel? Accuracy has been satisfactory, ES and SD have never been good so can’t speak to that.

Knives FS: Attn2Detail mk1 small knife

Zelle, PayPal friends and family no notes

$300 shipped/insured


Attn2Detail Mark-1 small. Magnacut blade. Titanium handles.


Carried 3 times. Factory edge, cut some tags off clothes and that's been it. I'm the orginal owner.

I took a pic of it, on the handle edge, by the blade there is some small indentations, just part of the manufacturing process I guess. It came from knifejoy like that. The overall length is listed as 6.25" so it's smaller.

Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

The unconditional bond humans and dogs share is one of the more rewarding relationships we may experience in our lives. The truly unconditional love they bring is difficult to accurately express or describe and their passing reinforces their contribution to our quality of life.

They are most certainly worthy and deserving of our recognition and respect.

Please share your "Best Friend" experiences, photos, and memories with us here on The Hide.


This is Riley in April of 2007 who was our first "child" and with us for 15 years 7 months. It's been 9 years since he passed and his memories still warm our hearts. He truly taught us how living and sharing life unconditionally with a dog is an invaluable experience.
