How A Remington 700 Gunsmith Can Improve Your Skill

By Phyllis Schroeder


Anyone who owns a firearm wants their piece to be an elegant ornament of self-defense with the greatest precision possible. Fortunately, there are after-market upgrades available for many brands and of firearms available. To ensure proper installation, one should seek out a professional, such as a Remington 700 Gunsmith.

Accurizing, the process of making a gun more accurate, is a delicate procedure. Accuracy in a firearm is defined as the ability to hit whatever target one is aiming at. This seems simple enough until one tries out an old-fashioned revolver known for the bullet to land a few feet to the right of the target.

One of several factors involved in accuracy is a firm hold on the grip without clenching. One basic upgrade that can improve grip strength is simply to install a better grip that allows the shooter a better hold on the gun. This is an item which should be shopped for personally rather than finding an upgrade online, as the shooter will want to experiment with more than one style.

Rifles have the added issue of recoil to consider, and this can be so severe as to make the shooter afraid of the weapon. Minimizing this harmonic effect, or recoil, enables the shooter to control where the barrel is pointed at the time the bullet exits the chamber. The longer barrel has less harmonic effect, and is easier to control.

The downside to lengthening the barrel is that the bullet exits the chamber with less speed, and will therefore hit the target with much less force. In order to make up for this loss of velocity, many marksmen and women will utilize a bullet that gives more bang, and this can be very important when hunting big game. This means using a single shot slug rather than buckshot, or even armor piercing rounds if available, and legal.

Perfecting the accuracy of a firearm also involves making the moving parts fit together in such a way that they shift the least under recoil. Professional gunsmiths do claim that this process is as much art as science. Getting these parts to achieve the best possible tolerance to one-another requires an experienced hand.

Ammunition is another factor involved in accuracy when shooting. Most manufacturers have bullets that they recommend for particular guns due to the fact that these certain bullets have been shown to fire the same time and again. Consistency as well as precision are sought, so those who must have high-precision often make their own ammunition in order to achieve the desired effect each time they fire their weapon.

Grouping is always sought after in marksmen championships, and this requires a high degree of accuracy. This type of accuracy can only be achieved when one is intimately familiar with their weapon. Knowing how to fire a variety of guns is an honorable pursuit, but the true marksmen and markswomen know that consistent practice with their weapon of choice is what grants them the greatest results.
