Long-Range Precision Rifle

"Anthony Cirincione was an amazing teacher while helping me get ready for sniper school. His knowledge and meticulous rifle setup techniques were instrumental to my success. As a U.S. Army Sniper School instructor, I have been able to pass on everything he taught me to students and further help the sniper community." –SSG Dustin Campbell, U.S. Army Sniper School, Ft. Benning, GA "This book is a great tool for anyone who is interested in long-range shooting and handloading for their rifle. It lays out a system that anyone can follow to successfully develop a precision rifle setup for hunting, target, or competition shooting. Stop being the guy who looks at your box of ammo for your drop and then uses "Kentucky windage," only to miss your prize animal or target. Be the guy who smoothly pulls the trigger at any distance with knowledge of where your bullet is going and confidence in a first-round hit."–Brandon Connell, civilian shooter, Memphis, TN This detailed guide puts extreme accuracy at long range with a precision rifle within the reach of any shooter. But what exactly is a precision rifle? Author Anthony Cirincione II defines it as a rifle that consistently prints 1.047 inches or smaller at 100 yards. If that's the kind of shooting that you think is beyond your capability, think again. A U.S. Army sniper and avid precision rifle and long-range rifle shooter, competitor, and enthusiast, Cirincione has 26 months' worth of combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has trained multiple groups of squad-designated marksmen for his battalion. In this book, he lays out an easily understood method for getting the most out of whatever rifle you are using. After discussing rifle, ammunition, and optic selection, he reveals his tried-and-true methods of gathering and recording data. He takes you step-by-step through the process of discovering how to make your rifle perform at its peak with every shot. In this book you will also learn how to adjust for environmental factors and obstructions that lie between you and your target, and discover why hand loading and building your own precision cartridges is an extra step well worth taking. Whether you are a civilian or in the military or law enforcement, all shooting sports using long guns become more rewarding and enjoyable when the shooter gains a useful understanding of the external ballistics of his rifle.
