#.300NORMA

Extreme long-range (ELR) shooting requires more than a powerful cartridge. The rifle, ammunition, optic, and shooter need to be part of a precise system. I’m pretty new to long-range shooting, but I’m thankful that there are experts in the field who will take much of the guesswork out of the equation. The folks over at Gunwerks have given their Verdict rifle the ProBuild treatment. Now ready to ship, this is the ProBuild Verdict 300 Norma from Gunwerks.

If you noticed the green barrels in the FLIR video: we did too! We took Edward O and the camera crew over to the Falkor booth to learn about their new Dracos straight jacket barrel sleeve system. This barrel uses a composite sleeve as a heat sink to maintain accuracy even after thousands of high temperature rounds. 300 Win Mag and 300 Norma are usually considered barrel-burners, but Falkor guarantees the Dracos system for life.

Falkor Defense, the designers and makers of the Optimus Folding Carbine Stock ( which should be shipping this week) have taken their Petra weapon platform, which was made in .300 Win Mag and now chambered it in .300 Norma.
