How to Customize Your Long-range Hunting Rifle

When it comes to long-range hunting, precision and customization can make all the difference. At Kenton Industries, we specialize in creating custom scope turrets that elevate your hunting experience by tailoring your equipment to your exact needs. Custom turrets ensure unparalleled accuracy by matching your rifle’s specific data, scope, and ammunition. 

This blog will delve into the customization process, focusing primarily on custom turrets while also exploring other essential accessories to maximize your rifle's performance. Let’s transform your hunting rifle into the ultimate precision tool.

 

Understanding the Basics of Long-range Hunting Rifles

Long-range hunting requires a meticulous blend of skill, knowledge, and precise equipment. A typical long-range hunting rifle is designed to engage targets at extended distances, often beyond 300 yards. Key components include a high-quality rifle, a premium scope, and the right ammunition. Accuracy becomes paramount, as even the smallest variables can significantly impact the shot. 

Understanding ballistics, windage, and elevation adjustments are essential aspects of mastering long-range shooting. Additionally, the rifle must be well-balanced, ergonomically designed, and equipped with reliable accessories to optimize its performance. A sturdy bipod and a comfortable stock can contribute to better stability and shooting posture. All these elements lay the foundation for integrating advanced tools like custom scope turrets that enhance your shooting precision even further.


Custom Scope Turrets: The Game Changer

Custom turrets are a revolutionary upgrade for any long-range hunting rifle. Unlike factory elevation turrets, these laser-engraved bullet drop compensators are specifically tailored to your rifle's unique characteristics. By providing Kenton Industries with your rifle's data, scope details, and ammunition type, you receive a turret that aligns perfectly with your bullet's trajectory. The custom turret simplifies the adjustment process in the field: simply range your target and dial to the corresponding yardage marked on the turret. This eliminates the need for complex calculations and guesswork, allowing for quicker, more precise shots. 

With a custom turret, your rifle adjusts seamlessly to changes in elevation, ensuring consistent accuracy across various distances. This level of customization transforms the hunting experience, putting you in control with every shot. Whether you are taking aim at distant game or adjusting for challenging terrains, custom scope turrets provide confidence and reliability. Ultimately, they turn your long-range hunting rifle into a finely tuned precision instrument.


Benefits of Custom Turrets

Custom turrets offer numerous advantages for long-range hunters. Their primary benefit is enhanced precision, as they are tailored to your specific rifle and ammunition, eliminating guesswork. Quick and easy adjustments mean you can focus on the hunt rather than on calculations. The durability and reliability of these turrets ensure they perform well under varying conditions, providing consistency in every shot. They also significantly boost your confidence, knowing that each adjustment is backed by precise data. In essence, custom scope turrets simplify the complex variables of long-range shooting, making it more accessible and enjoyable.

Other Accessories for Customization

It’s possible to supplement your custom scope turret with more customization options. At Kenton Industries, we offer bubble levels, custom turret magnifiers, riflescope rings and mounts, and custom turret covers. We understand that all hunters are different and require different accessories to achieve the perfect hunt - so whether you need assistance keeping your rifle level before the shot or keeping your custom turret unaffected while tracking an animal and hiking, we have the add-ons for you.
