If you want a .223 for plinking around the back 40, you can get that done for a few hundred dollars and there’s hardly any need to customize much. You may even end up with a pretty accurate rifle just off the shelf at the local shop.
On the other hand, if you are strongly and seriously considering getting into ELR, or extreme long-range, rifle shooting, you’re going to shell out several thousand dollars one way or the other, perhaps even more than ten thousand.
That being the case, it’s well worth the effort to use a custom rifle builder like the one launched by B&B Firearms in order to ensure that you get a platform that works well for your intended uses.
Choose Platform and Chambering Wisely
The platform and chambering you start with will make a massive impact on overall performance.
For instance, let’s say you go with a common chambering for an ELR rifle, like .308, which is an option in some platforms like the Victrix KINETIC. That rifle may be accurate (and it will be) but you will realistically not be able to stretch the performance of that cartridge to ranges that you’d be able to match with something different like .375 or .408 CT or .50 BMG for that matter, especially when you factor in retained ballistic energy.
On top of that importance of chambering, there are the modularity and versatility of the platform itself to consider, and some ELR rifles, like the CheyTac M200 Intervention and the Cadex Defense CDX-40 SHDW, are highly adjustable and can be configured with a wide range of attachments that improve their fitness as ELR rifles.
Beyond the Platform
B&B Firearms’ custom rifle builder is also valuable because it lets you go beyond the rifle platform itself, expanding the package with add-ons that deliver value, especially for extreme long-range rifle shooting.
Optic
Iron sights are, obviously, not particularly useful for ELR shooting, as are non-telescopic optics, which makes your choice of a scope crucial to success, and B&B Firearms’ custom rifle builder makes it easy to pair your optic of choice with your rifle before you purchase it.
Bipod
Bipods, and in some cases, tripods, give shooters the flexibility to establish a stable shooting platform effectively anywhere, especially in the field where no bench or shooting mat is available. The custom rifle builder at B&B Firearms gives you the flexibility to bundle in a bipod with the purchase.
Rangefinder
A rangefinder is another extreme long-range shooting accessory that also delivers a lot of value to shooters because being aware of the range makes it possible to adjust holdover as necessary to connect with the target.
Just as with optics and bipods, B&B Firearms’ custom rifle builder makes it easy to bundle in a laser rangefinder with the purchase.
And More
The custom rifle builder at B&B Firearms enables you to easily bundle other add-ons into the purchase, not just what has been covered in cursory fashion here. In addition, it makes it easy to add mounts, shooting pads and bags, and even ammo to the purchase, streamlining the process.
They also offer a private rifle experience to assist with setup to shorten the learning curve associated with becoming more comfortable and proficient with an extreme long-range rifle.
