How to Set Up Your Rifle for LONG RANGE Shooting | Step-by-Step Guide

Watch us zero a custom 6.5 Creedmoor build and validate ballistic data out to 500 yards using the Swampfox Kentucky Long 5-30x Precision Rifle Scope.

Today we are taking a custom bolt gun featuring an Aero Precision Solus action and Proof Research barrel out to the long range. We break down the entire process of setting up a precision rifle: from the initial bore sight to getting a solid 100-yard zero.

We also demonstrate how to gather muzzle velocity data using a chronograph (Garmin Xero) and input that data into a ballistic solver (Hornady 4DOF) to get accurate holdovers. Finally, we put the math to the test with a 500-yard validation group to prove the system works.
