Welcome to Episode 238 of Wolf Precision’s Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast! In this first installment of our new series, we dive deep into one of the most frustrating questions in precision shooting: Why isn’t my rifle shooting accurately?

Drawing on two decades of experience at the firing line, Jamie breaks down the foundational issues that plague both factory and custom rifles—starting with your components, your scope setup, the torque on your action screws, and the hidden dangers of poor manufacturing tolerances. Whether it’s a misaligned base, budget stock flex, or a bad muzzle brake thread job, we cover it all.

Plus, we share an exciting giveaway—a brand new black-and-white Cadex Defense CDX chassis for Remington 700 short actions, open to all Patreon subscribers (free or paid)!

In this episode, Jamie Dodson dives deep into the top five mistakes shooters commonly make after buying a custom rifle—and more importantly, how to avoid them. From skipping barrel break-in to improperly mounted optics, relying blindly on factory ammo, shooting without a data logbook, and expecting the rifle to perform magic without the shooter doing their part—Jamie covers it all with real-world examples and tips from the classroom and range.

Plus, hear about the upcoming Rifle Readiness Clinics, one last opening in the fall Long Range Shooting School, and a few great stories from recent students (including sailors-turned-shooters!).
