Bore sighting, zeroing, and engaging steel targets at 800 yards

James Ferguson of XMTG shows you how to bore sight your rifle without any tools, then use that information to zero your rifle. Once James is done zeroing his Leupold Mark 5 optic on his Cadex Kraken rifle, he engages an 8-inch steel target at 800 yards.

Shooting a Cadex Kraken from a ReactRest

James Ferguson shoots his Cadex Kraken in .308 Winchester from a ReactRest tripod at steel targets that are at 400 yards. Snipers, competition shooters, hunters, are you putting in the time training on your tripod of choice? If you are not, you should be! Rarely does a shot present itself where it can be taken from the prone position. The prone position is great for data verification and learning the fundamentals. Your training should be focused on how you are going to actually take the shot. Get up off of the ground and run those tripods. Find out what your limits are!
