3 Tips for Maximizing Your Rifle’s Range

By


Do you want to be more accurate at longer ranges with your M4A1? There are a few ways to maximize the range on your rifle, no matter if it’s 9MM or a 308. From using a bench rest to installing the right accessories, here are a few tips to maximize your rifle’s accuracy at long distances.

Get a Bench Rest

Investing in a bench rest should be your first step. You can use weighted bags or a vice, but the goal is the same: restricting the movement of the rifle. This alone can remove tons of small variables that impact a shot’s accuracy. You don’t have to worry about swaying. Instead, your 308 AR for long-range shooting is nestled snugly in place, and all you have to do is line up the shot and squeeze the trigger. While you can’t directly control wind and other factors, minimizing rifle movement will vastly improve your accuracy, especially for long-range shooting.

Consider Barrel Length

Generally, the longer the barrel, the more accurate the rifle. If you enjoy modding firearms, consider swapping the barrel of your rifle. For example, replacing a 14.5-inch barrel with an 18-inch alternative can make a difference.

 Look Into Aftermarket Accessories

The right accessories matter, and they start at the muzzle device. The device itself, whether you choose a flash hider or compensator, won’t matter as much for a single shot, though it can help with felt recoil. This helps with “follow-through,” ensuring you don’t jerk the barrel one way or another as the shot is fired. A suppressor serves not just to dampen the gunshot a bit, but also lengthens the barrel, making it a perfect choice for a 9MM carbine rifle. If you can go prone, another accessory that will help is a bipod. Much like the bench rest, it helps to steady your rifle. None of these accessories will result in a night-and-day accuracy boost, but even a small improvement can make a difference when firing from long distances.

Buying a Chest Rig? Look for These 5 Things

You’ve bought your Block 2 M4 , ammo, and spare mags, but how will you keep everything you need close by at the range? For many shooters, a chest rig is the answer. A chest rig can hold spare mags, tools, and other items, providing plenty of extra utility. As you shop around, here are a few things to consider. A Chest Placard That Fits The chest placard is one of the most important parts of any chest rig. It’s the panel of fabric that everything else attaches to. It’s usually made with MOLLE webbing or sewn-on pouches. When comparing options, choose a placard with enough space for your 9mm PCC mags and other pouches without weighing it down too much. It should sit around your sternum, allowing you to move around freely. Different Harness Types There are three major types of chest rigs: the H, X, and Y harness. The right one for you depends on your specific needs and comfort preferences. The H-harness forms an “H” shape with a connector between the shoulder straps. You need to...
