Ep 1: The QUESTIONABLE choices I made for a Precision Long Range Rifle

Think you have to have a Super Cartridge to make hits at 1000? You may want to think again! In this eye-opening video, I dive into the world of long-range shooting, starting with why I chose the underrated .223 Rem caliber (spoiler: it's NOT what the experts recommend for extreme distances). Watch as I explain my build, a custom AR-15 from scratch, optimized for precision – including my picks for barrel, optics, trigger, and ammo that make all the difference...maybe.
But here's the real shocker: I take it to the range and the results blew my mind! From sub-MOA groups at 100 meters to hitting tiny targets, this "plinking round" may prove it's a long-range beast in disguise. Whether you're a beginner getting into precision rifle shooting, an AR-15 enthusiast, or just love seeing underdogs win, this build and test will change how you think about affordable long-range setups.
