Brand new precision one piece scope mount with tons of accessories coming.
What long-range practice does is it makes those 40-yard-and-in-whitetail shots feel like chip shots, and when you head West, and a velvet-racked muley has his face stuffed in a herbaceous plant at 62 yards, you can draw, anchor, and execute properly.

I carried the Waypoint with me last whitetail season, and I stretched its legs at the range. The Waypoint lived up to expectations, and it may be the perfect crossover rifle for both competition and hunting.
Whether it’s hunting or competitive shooting, precision matters. Leupold Optics has designed the Mark 5HD line of riflescopes to be the ideal offering for a competition-oriented shooter.
Trijicon has been showing off their powerful, handheld electronic spotting scopes and rangefinders called the Trijicon Ventus and Ventus X.
I managed to get my hands on Seekins’ new Havak Element in 6.5 PRC soon after it was announced, and immediately put it through the hardest tests that I could think of: I brought it with me on several hunts including Idaho mule deer and whitetail deer.
Ruger has decided to enter the light-weight, long-range hunting rifle game with their appropriately named Hawkeye Long-Range Hunter Bolt Action Rifle. This gun is designed to be accurate, lightweight, user adjustable and tough. The light profile, stainless steel barrel contributes most to this rifle’s low weight and comes chambered in the most popular 6.5 calibers.
The Texas sun was just beginning to drop below the trees, when I heard the strange bellow and grunt of an Axis buck from the top of a far hill. Glassing, I caught sight of the buck’s spotted coat moving between the live oak and mesquite, well over 600 yards away.
We were a very talkative group at dinner the night before and during coffee that morning. But when the 15 of us walked into the covered shooting line and saw the steel targets ranging before us–the last row at 1,000 yards—it all went silent. Oh, man, I imagined my fellow students thinking, that’s what 1,000 yards actually looks like? Never going to happen!
This year Kestrel came out with an affordable handheld unit that takes all of the guesswork out of environmental conditions and ballistics. The 2700 is a cost effective unit that targets the average long range shooter. This Kestrel 2700 is new for 2019 and will be a hot product for years to come
Savage is catering to all of the small caliber fans and varmint hunters out there with the launch of the 110 Prairie Hunter. This rifle is chambered in 224 Valkyrie, which is a wise choice by Savage because this cartridge is known to have less wind drift and drop than any caliber in it’s class while maintaining less recoil than any cartridge that offers similar ballistics. All of this allows the hunter to put more rounds on target.
After several years of waiting and watching the market, Nosler has seen fit to throw their industry expertise into the lightweight, mountain-hunting rifle arena.
Daniel Defense, industry leader in premium AR-based rifles, is launching their first-ever bolt-action rifle, with an all-new action, bolt and barrel system.
A wide racked, deep-forked mule deer buck climbed the face of a far ridge, almost to the top and gone. My friend, an expert shot with any kind of weapon, lay prone behind his rifle, scope trained on the buck as it climbed. “Range?” The word was terse and unembellished with superfluous verbiage.
Long-range hunting continues to gain in popularity. But just because you want to go long doesn’t mean dropping in bullets at 1,000 yards. Most deer hunters, for example, take their shots at 100 yards or less. Yet, if those same hunters could extend their range to 400 yards? Their chances at filling their tags would go up greatly.
