Ryan, I agree that certain products can help increase the positive results. I think LR shooting is one of those niches where "you at least need X" in order to have a certain amount of success. Also, "buy once cry once" applies as well. What is the point in buying gear that you are going to sell in a year or two for a 20-30% loss because you wanted to upgrade to gear that is going to help increase your abilities that were previous limited by gear? Joe, I wanted to clarify. You teach tactical pistol classes/courses? That would be fun to do a group CR course (if you'd be up for that). Or, even a group "basics" class for those wanting to learn (myself included).

I hear ya, and I will say, My consistency increased 5-fold when I got the new trigger. It can get VERY frustrating when shooting out to 1,000 yards if you "swear you did the same thing" and the projectile does not report. I think the new trigger disallowed the ability to anticipate the shot. It was very "instant" instead of "planned". I will say this (gun first, then optics) GUN - A 300 dollar bolt gun (Savage Axis) will get you to 1,000... Now, a matter of "how often" you make hits is a different story. A 450 dollar bolt gun (Remington 700 with varmint barrel) will get you better odds at getting hits. And, a 4500.00 bolt gun (AIAX) should get you even more hits... but maybe not enough more to justify the extra 4K. But, the idea for making hits is to eliminate as many weak links as possible and there aren't many to be had with an AI. OPTICS - I believe, that the same rule applies as above. a second focal plane (cheaper than First FP) will have a unique set of challenges if not on full magnification. ALSO, most lower end scopes do not have enough MOA/MILS to dial into 1,000 (assuming we are using 308) and I have seen guys with 600 dollar vortex Viper (NON PST, NON FFP) have to hold over 20 MOA just to have the projectile land "pin high" (golf term) near the target. As far as optics go... "Can a man hit 1000 yard target with a 100 dollar scope?" - YES "Will the scope hold up over time due to the recoil?" - Maybe "Will the scope be clear enough to make proper element evaluations at distance?" - Maybe "Will the scope have enough built-in elevation" - Probably not As I'm sure you agree it is important to eliminate potential problems and disadvantages with equipment. I do also agree that equipment "need" for tactical/self defense is vastly different than 1,000 yard bench shooting!

Joe, your explanation is very understandable about gear vs. Aptitude. Is it fair to say that in LR shooting that the equipment matters a lot more (ie - a better setup can equal better results)? I noticed a huge improvement when I put my action/barrel in a chassis and a even better improvement when I put an aftermarket trigger in it (bolt gun).

"Like" PS - Can I show up with a chromed-out 1911 with gold grips?

To hit on a couple of things here: 1. You CAN let friends shoot it. 2. You CANNOT let friends possess it unless they are on your trust. 3. You can only make an SBR with the stamp. Full auto/burst is limited to (for civilian use) "transferable machineguns" 4. You CAN run different caliber uppers on the SBR lower. 5. I normally put "25.5" as my overall length on an SBR form 1 6. Current wait time is 45-60 days (and growing) on turnaround from sub date electronically. 7. Go to gun envy and buy a lower. Have them engrave it there. They have a package deal going on right now. Keep in mind if you buy a lower for 45.00 bucks online you are least at 65.00 because of a 20 dollar transfer. You also (for the example above)have to pay for shipping. Which should put you in the ballpark of 80 (45+15+20) bucks to take it home... buying on for 70.00-90.00 at a local gun shop is about the same end result in terms of "cost" when you whack it up.

Just came to quote this after a TLDR runaway train

Gun envy x2

Saw it there! Such a nice gun!!!

It's a very broad definition. I thought that was obvious when I posted it. It's like saying "making a lot of money is better than making hardly any money". That's a true statement amongst the general populous. But then, someone wants to define it, add emotion, and chop it up so that the general statement is now completely questioned and beaten with specific scenarios. That's what you are doing... You are trying to get specific on something that requires no scenarios. BECAUSE it's all irrelevant if those examples you noted would act in a more limitless manner and change their situation. To everyone - The game is "life". Nice and broad. Now go do the best you can while having an open mind without fearing the process of starting over after you acquire knowledge.
