Precision
Four barrel makers, four *cleaning clocks*
PROOF, Bartlein, Krieger, and Criterion publish different barrel-cleaning intervals. Their shared method is the useful part.
Precision
Technique, data, rimfire and centrefire precision, rifles, optics, and the craft of putting rounds where they are meant to go.
Precision
A Canadian shooter gave 1:12 an *honest job*
A 17-pound .223 trainer, cheap 55-grain ammunition, and a 1:12 barrel make sense together when position work is the declared job.
Precision
How you split 15 rounds changes the *answer*
A 2026 ammunition study found that three five-shot groups gave a less biased precision estimate than five three-shot groups using the same 15 rounds.
Gear
*1,400 yards* looks good on a rangefinder box
A first rangefinder should be chosen from its target-specific reach and the correction workflow it replaces. Current prices make the solver decision less obvious.
Gear
A .308 in boreal cover starts at *2x*
For a .308 used mainly inside 300 metres, low-end field of view, reticle visibility, and mounting fit deserve the first look.
Precision
Ontario's 1,000-yard line runs on a *military calendar*
A current Ontario shooter asks what rifle reaches 1,000 yards. The harder limit is the small number of civilian dates available on CFB Borden's ranges.
Gear
Electronic ear pro: *between the shots*
Electronic hearing protection earns its place when it keeps the range audible and its seal intact after a rifle stock reaches the cheek weld.
Precision
Under the stock, *less uncertainty*
A rear bag will not purchase a good group. It can make the soft part of a precision-rifle setup repeatable enough that the next group tells you something useful.
Precision
Thirty-four entries put *mounted shooting* on Alberta's clock
Outlaws Paradise begins in Sturgeon County with 34 entries and five stages. That is enough to show that Alberta mounted shooting is a scored sport with real structure behind it.

Cadex CDX-SS Seven S.T.A.R.S. Pro 6 BR *rifle review*
After roughly 500 rounds, my Cadex CDX-SS Seven S.T.A.R.S. Pro in 6 BR has become the most accurate and most-used precision rifle in his collection.
Handloading
A primer family sets the *order*
Current Canadian primer listings are less empty than they were. The useful lesson is not panic-buying. It is building a compatible bench plan around the primer family and published data you can actually support.
Gear
The smart scope can *wait*
Smart optics are becoming visible in the Canadian precision aisle. For a newer shooter, the screen is still the wrong first shortcut.
