The closest I have come to being arrested in Washington DC working on our patent. The story of the ACE Chamber System, part II. So I want to cover some of the developments and my experiences working with and winning patents, two on the ACE Chamber System under our belt and a third in process. I just want to share with you how we did it and why. This is the behind the scenes look and discussion on a part or process that is rarely discussed or shared. https://www.wolfprecision.net/newsletter.html ...

In this episode, we go into the deep end on rifle barrels. There is so much more here than meets the eye and the more you know, the more you want to know. This is a working component of the rifle that will either allow your rifle to shoot to it's full potential or rob your rifle's other components of the glory they should be realizing. Make no mistake about it, it is that important. I think where most people fail is they think the magic happens when the chamber is cut. That cannot be further fro...

In this episode, we dive into chassis. All is not as it seams. There is a difference and its more that what meets the eye. Sounds familiar. There are a lot of areas you could use these phrases, but none are more important than when trying to select a chassis. We have some tips, trips and just general advice to help you make the best decision for you.

In this episode we go over the difference between stocks and chassis. How to choose what would be right for you and what you are going to use it for. We wanted to go over BDC reticles and turrets. This is one area that most new shooters fall into with out realizing what little there is to learn to get beyond it and really understanding ballistic. BDC reticles and turrets are a way to keep you from learning minutes and mils by bypassing the learning process. When in the end you will always be a b...

We tackle the common question we get asked all the time. Should I upgrade my factory rifle or just go custom? The honest answer is it depends on several factors and your end goals. What are you starting with quality wise for your factory rifle and what you are trying to accomplish. I think most people go custom because they want a rifle they can trust, have faith in and always know they can count on it to do its job every time without worry. This is a great topic to cover and we hope you enjoy u...

I want to share a really cool story on how in the last 5 classes, 3 were won by the newest or the student with the least experience. We have a top gun hat awarded in each class. This goes to the highest scoring shooter. I wanted to reflect on my thoughts on how this is possible, as it has been something I have been thinking heavily about over the last couple weeks. From the trenches. Now and then I want to add a segment for small business owners or for those running them on some tips, tricks and...

The trigger is not to fire the weapon, it is to keep it from firing until you are ready to shoot. People always have this concept backwards and that is where the danger lies. The importance of a trigger when it comes to your safety and that of others with you should never be underestimated. People think a quality trigger is a smooth clean break. To me that is a good shooting trigger. A good quality trigger will keep that firing pin from falling an any and all conditions included being dropped or...

In this episode we discuss the difference between price and cost. When you are looking to build your custom rifle, the action gets a back seat to caliber and stock. But in the grand scheme of things, can cost you the most as far as the quality of your final project and the enjoyment you will get out of it. They look the same, but they are not all equal. The biggest problem to most is they don't know how to evaluate what they are really getting for there hard earned money. We want to share with y...

So with a sad heart we left king of the Mountain. We never really explained why, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to talk a little about the added levels of responsibilities and the positions you get put in when having to make decisions when others are depending on you. So if you even plan in running an event, we have some pointers for you and things to careful with when others are involved. More importantly the difference between hosting and running an event. It takes your respons...

In this episode we go over a great listener Q and A about training for new shooters and the dangers of doing it too close to the start of the match or hunt. So we had a great customer call in getting ready for his first match. He is getting ready and bam, panic sets in that something is wrong. This is not the first call I have received like this and for new shooters there is some sound advice that applies for not just match preparation but for hunting preparation as well. I want to share with yo...

One nagging question is whether or not a rifle chamber is a verb or a noun. Can you change one to the other? The funny part is, the rifle is made up of tangible working components. All of them are a noun except (unitl now) the rifle chamber. The chamber was a service, a job, something you had done. Don't believe me? Walk into a gun store and ask to buy just a rifle chamber and see just what funny looks you get. The ACE system finishes or completes the rifle into a true all-component status. The ...

In this epsidode, Jamie and Richard talk about the .308. Is it still relevant as a modern, capable cartridge. They diiscuss both the pros and cons on why someone would choose, or not choose...making a case for both sides of the arguument. One thing I would like to point out. Jamie and Richard both have decades of experience with the .308 for almost all purposes possible including as a match rifle, hunting rifle and varmint rifle. So, this is not just an opinion of someone's thoughts on the calib...

In reloading, there are many mindsets and techniques, many of which can lead you down a path of heartache, confusion, pain, suffering, sorrow and yes even death. Many reloaders obsess over things they have read or secret formulas they have heard of, thinking that this is the secret they have been waiting for. This new process will most certainly make them the best shooter in the world. Now on to the truth. Many of the things you read, hear and see being peddled by forums or influencers is not ju...

In the episode we discuss a micro segment that will be up and coming in future shows we call "From the Trenches". A business segment where we talk shop, interview business owners and offer real world advice from being in the trenches as a start up 17 years ago. The challenges, struggles, choices and efforts needed to start, run and grow a small business in the US today. We also announce a new class for new shooters as an introduction to long range shooting. Thanks to a great conversation with on...

In this episode, we dive into our top three choices for caliber selection for new shooters for both hunting and long range competition. We take into consideration that in a lot of cases we are talking to new or newer shooters that are often overwhelmed with information that can be good, bad or even opinions, based on no experience in the subject in which they are offering advice. Usually with no bad intentions, but repeating what they have heard or read from others that is sometimes accepted as ...

In part 6 of our series, we dive into factory or custom rifle. Please note we said "or" and for good reason. You can always argue the points of how a custom rifle is better or why you should go custom. But for us, or for us talking with new shooters, it's not a versus argument but an "or" decision on which would be a better fit for you starting out. One could always argue a Tesla is a better car, but for who. For someone new to driving, someone on a budjet or a college kid delivering pizza? Havi...

I was introduced to Matt Rinella by a customer and with that, grew into a conversation about hunting and the industry, in general. Matt is a passionate outdoorsman who with the best intentions is trying to bring to light the damage that social media, TV, advertisers, influencers and even investors are doing to our industry. It was a great interview and a subject that is well worth a listen. https://huntquietly.org/ Online Long Range Shooting School. https://www.wolfprecision.net/online-long-rang...

The last part to this series is called "bits and bobs". All the little things you will need besides the rifle and optics to get started in learning and mastering the art of marksmanship or fundamentals. I think in this case, less but better is always a good approach. Don't fall into or become a victim of G.A.S. "gear acquisition syndrome". Here, staying true to our craft and using simple everyday tools or items you would take to a field match or a hunt is gear. Learn the fundamentals, not the ge...

So we interrupt this program to bring you a special announcement...not everything you see or read is true, real or even possible by us mere mortals. We were speaking with Matt Rinella, of the Hunt Quietly Podcast, and could not believe how parallel our two worlds of hunting and shooting align, from advertising, Facebook, YouTube, Influencers and yes even "Jack Asses" like the movie, but only with rifles and shooting. These "Jack Asses" hurt our image as marksman and professionals and put these r...

We have talked about this is in the past...our industry selling out to cheaper labor and products overseas and bringing them here to our market for high profits. Don't fall victam to this scam. Ask the questions and do your research. Our fathers and grandfathers have said, you should spend 2 to 3 times the cost of the rifle on your optics. They were right then for the same reason they are right now. This age-old wisdom is not just timeless but more true now than ever. Combine that with the marke...

In part II of our series, we were going to discuss rifle stocks. The truth is your approach should be a wholistic. If you want to enjoy yourself at the range and grow as a marksman, simply do not compromise when it comes to quality in any part or piece of your rifle. It matters and it matters a lot. The difference between a great day at the range and a bad day is the gear you make the decision on purchasing. A lot of rifles and manufacturers make compromises on the products they make and sell fo...

So we want to go over all the things you should think about and give you some advice on each so you can make the best educated decision possible. In the end,...

With just finishing up a class and having years of trying to sort out semi custom and home built rifles on the firing line. I am finally ready to give my opinion as to when you should go custom. I am also here to point out pretty bluntly, that although I find most people to have good intentions, you know the saying on the road to hell being paved with them. Over the years I have been put in harms way many times. Part of it came with the job. But now, it seems that the rifles being home built or ...

In the custom rifle world, we deal with this issue all the time..."drop in" or "drop fit" stocks and chassis. Too often the marketing powers that be decide to use the term "drop fit," saying that you just bolt it in and your rifle will shoot better and fit without a problem. However, there is a huge difference between fitting, fitting well and fitting perfectly. This can play out with not just accuracy and repeatability issues, but can lead to eventual damage to your rifle. Don't fall victim to ...

We also dive into some tips and tricks to help you get your rifle up and running and keep it up and running. Getting true D.O.P.E. for your rifle is by far one of the most important things you can do to become a better marksman. That said, most put the least effort into this area and even less take the time to learn and understand it. We hope this series helps you to get your rifles D.O.P.E. truly ...
