What riflescope?
Picking the right riflescope for extreme long-range (ELR) shooting is critical to maximize your ability to hit long-range targets. ELR scopes have to handle the unique challenges when shooting at extreme distances, and there are a few factors you must look at: precise adjustments, glass clarity, MOA, reticle, and the potential environmental factors.
What type of riflescope mount?
A reliable riflescope mount is a must for extreme long-range shooting. A quality mount keeps your scope zeroed and aligned, maximizing your rifle's sub-MOA when shooting 2,000+ yards. Look for a mount that supports your riflescope correctly, allows easy adjustments, and has accessory integration. Weight and built-in MOA are also factors here. We recommend a light-weight precision-machined mount.
Do I need a tripod for ELR?
Tripods are game-changers when it comes to extreme long-distance shooting. With unmatched stability, versatile adjustments, enhanced hitting consistency, and recoil reduction, a tripod is a must-have when you want to hit at a mile and out. ARCA rail attachments and an adjustable ballhead allow you to get a precise angle with easy, lockable adjustments. A strap hanger can also help repeated shot placement by placing additional weight on the tripod's legs, enhancing recoil reduction. A carbon fiber design and telescoping legs will keep the tripod's weight down and allow you to adjust depending on a long-distance shot quickly.
Does a bipod help with ELR shooting?
Bipods are a must-have for extreme long-range shooting. They offer stability, adjustability, portability, recoil management, and most importantly, shot consistency when you are shooting a mile and beyond. When shooting prone, they are quick to set up and are ideal for fast-paced precision shooting matches. You want durability with adjustable legs and secure mounting, like an ARCA or Picatinny rail. Below are our recommendations for Bipods to help you reach a mile and beyond while shooting from the prone position.
What about a shooting bag for ELR?
Shooting bags are a must-have for ELR shooting. They offer adjustability, portability, precision enhancement, and stability. They can be used with bipods or tripods and positioned at the front or rear of your rifle, helping with consistent shot placement when you are shooting at a mile and beyond. They are a durable addition to any ELR shooter's kit and can be molded wherever needed.
