Once upon a time, product options for precision rifle shooters were far and few. Narrowing down what you might build and what you might outfit that build with from an accessories standpoint was easier but it was because factory-built rifles capable of rather consistent sub-MOA precision just didn’t exist. Fast forward to 2023 and it can be extremely difficult to wade through the murky waters of precision shooting products. Fear not, Ballistic’s Precision Shooting & Hunting Guide is fully loaded with the latest and greatest!
In this issue, we’re reviewing Aero Precision’s new Solus, Weatherby’s brand new Rem 700 action—the Model 307, and we take a look at how Daniel Defense continues to develop and grow its Delta 5 platform.
There’s a ton more content to feast on in the pages ahead. Our aim is to help you become better educated and more capable shooters so that you can reap the rewards with every trigger pull.
Don’t miss the Skillset fam section headlined by a range session with “AK Guy” Brandon Herrera. Plus take a wild road trip to the red rocks of Utah where some truly epic custom rides are showcased.
