How To Prepare For A Long Range Match.

Burris — Long-Range Precision Shooting Accessories Guide

Burris — Long-Range Precision Shooting Accessories

1) Mounting & Alignment

 

Burris Signature / Zee Rings or XTR / PEPR Mounts

Keep the scope concentric and secure. Choose the ring height that clears the objective and turrets while maintaining a solid cheek weld. Pos-Align® inserts help correct minor misalignment without stressing the tube.

• Tube: match 1", 30 mm, 34 mm, etc.
• Height: low/med/high based on objective diameter and rail height.
• Rail: Picatinny/Weaver or integrated bases.

Repeatable Zero Pos-Align Inserts Torque to spec

Scope Leveling Kit

Level the reticle to the action to avoid cant-induced error. Use during mounting and when setting zero stop.

• Look for bubble, wedge, or rail-to-turret systems.
• Verify on a stable surface before final torque.

2) Precision Triggers & Firing Interface

Match-Grade Trigger (single- or two-stage)

Clean, predictable break reduces shooter-induced error. Choose a reputable unit compatible with your platform and set to a safe pull weight.

Consistency Safe Pull Weight

3) Support & Stability

 

Precision Bipod

Stable front support with adjustable cant and positive leg locks. Pick leg length for your discipline (6–9" or 9–13" typical).

Adjustable Cant Low Bounce

 

Rear Bags (highly recommended)

Rear support stabilizes the rifle, lets you fine-tune elevation, and damps pulse. Pick a bag shape and fill that fits your style:

• Armageddon Gear Game Changer — versatile “V” profile for barricades and prone.
• Wiebad Mini/Standard Tac Pad — light, compressible, great as a rear bag or positional prop.
• Sand-filled squeeze bag — fine elevation control behind the stock.

Fine Elevation Positional Support Barricade-Friendly

4) Ballistics & Ranging

Ballistic Solver (Kestrel / App)

Compute precise holds with live atmospherics (temp, pressure, DA). Build profiles for each rifle, cartridge, and Burris reticle or turret.

Long-Range Rangefinder / Rangefinder Binoculars 

Choose a unit rated beyond your max distance with fast, accurate returns on non-reflective targets.

Long Distance Slope/LOS

5) Reticle & Turret Tools

 

Confirm your elevation translates correctly to the reticle after mounting. Mark zero, set stop, and record turret data in your DOPE book, true your data with in the field experience.

6) Optics Protection & Performance

Sunshade / Covers

Cut glare and keep dust off lenses. Add flip covers or a neoprene scope cover for transport.

Glare Reduction Lens Protection

7) Wind & Cant Reference

Scope-Mounted Bubble Level

Prevents rifle cant, which creates vertical error at distance. Mount where you can see it without breaking position.

Anti-Cant Vertical POI Control

8) Ammunition & Chronograph

Chronograph

Build true velocity curves (MV, SD/ES) for your solver. Test in your rifle with your lot.

MV / SD / ES True Data

9) Muzzle Devices & Recoil Control

Muzzle Brake / Suppressor (where legal)

Reduces recoil, speeds follow-up shots, and aids spotting impacts. Match thread pitch and caliber rating.

Recoil Reduction Faster Spotting

10) Spotting & Observation

Spotting Scope + Stable Tripod

Observe trace, mirage, and impacts to refine wind calls. Use a smooth fluid head for precise tracking.

Mirage Read Impact Calling

11) Tools & Maintenance

 

Torque Wrench + Hex/Torx Kit

Torque bases and rings to spec to avoid tube deformation or slippage. 

In-lb Accuracy = Repeatability

12) Data & DOPE Recording

 

DOPE Book / App

Record range, atmospherics, turret values, and results. Build confidence in your holds and wind calls.

Repeatable Data Lot Tracking

13) Comfort & Field Kit

 

Shooting Mat, Sling, Ear Pro, Spares of anything you can afford. Welcome to your new expensive hobby. 

Keep comfort high to keep fundamentals tight. Pack spare screws, rail blocks, and Burris Pos-Align® inserts for field fixes.
