    I used to torque sensitive electronic board and chips which each items assembly were about 30K USD. Over-torque it and you need to replaced the whole assembly. We spent thousands of dollars buying all the possible precision torque tools out there. It all came down to a 1500USD drill. And a Wera specialized torque screwdriver which was about 90 USD. What I found out walking around the assembly line was that most of the tech were no releasing the tension spring or not testing the calibration of their tools before starting their shift. I won't go into the details but you could have the best torque tool out there and still screw things up. (no punt intended)
    Anyhow, thanks for all the videos... I am about to get my very first item and try this long range shooting soon. (My Arken EP5 5-25X56 FFP MIL VPR is going to be delivered today)
    Cheers from BC!

    A set of calipers and a chronograph are helpful. You need to know speed and height over bore for most ballistic apps. A 2/3 IPSC target is my personal favorite. Don't forget a first aid kit. People forget if guns go wrong they can be lethal. See Kentucky Ballistics for what can go wrong in a worst case scenario.

    Hey dude when are you going to review the Sabatti? I've been waiting I was going to pull the trigger and buy one but I've been waiting on you review of the rifle before I do, you are usually pretty honest sometimes brutally honest with your reviews so I've been waiting!

    You have really helped me learn about LRS. The only thing I need to do is make the decision to buy another range bag to put all this stuff in. LOL! I’m use to one bag for all my pistol stuff. Since I don’t like forgetting stuff everything in one bag ready to go is a must for this old guy!

    Hey man, love your videos! I won a Tikka T3x Varmint from a local rifle draw and I am looking for some upgrades to do that would improve the rifle! Not sure if you have a video on it, it would be interesting to hear your take on some of the upgrades that you have done and which ones would you do everytime to your Tikka's or just some that are just a preference! Thanks!

    I love my wheeler torque screw driver. ($50) Have a cheap screw driver kit that has everything. Metric and SAE drivers. Between the two I have every thing I need. I bought a cheap picatinny bubble level off of eBay. And have a cheap small level from another tool kit. Also have a small level that hangs off a line for concrete work that works as well. I also pick up the same tool that you showed. Wedge with the plate. Amazon sells a cheap knock off for half the price.

    Ammo lots of ammo that's how you shoot well the more time behind the trigger the better you will shot

    I bring also a tactical pen with Fisher refill. I find the plus on tactical pens is not so much the "you can use them as weapons" thing (seriously?) but the fact that they are STURDY (still haven't broken one) and most are compatible with Fisher cartridges, which write in any position, temperature and even wet media. I use a CRKT Williams Tactical Pen II: sturdy, classy, doesn't look like something an angry Klingon would bring to battle, works perfectly and is comfortable in a 5.11 trousers knife pocket.

    So the only place in Canada that I found selling Arken scopes is in Ontario. I pre ordered an EP5 from them. My expected delivery date is “summer 2022” 🤪 that’s pretty broad.

    The only thing you haven't covered so far is had to find a thicker buttstock for The recoil my recoil is so bad that it comes back and then lifts up in that shooting at 380 with 180 grain

    how about tripods, something more actual realistic for field equipment, you can take with you, not every one wants to just shoot at a range, others want to use these skills or even to put food on the table. no one seems to calculate of Earth rotation direction and Axis relative to the target (direction from point of shot to target)

    How do you think about choosing between a spotting scope 15-45x65 vs 20-60x80 for anything up to 500-600 yards? Any real benefit or improvement by going to 60x mag and 80 objective lens? Or do you feel like your 15-45x60 spotting scope does the job well enough? I'm asking only from the perspective of using a spotting scope for the shooting range (won't be hunting).
