The True Measure of a Rifle Isn’t How It Shoots Dirty It’s How It Shoots Clean. Every precision shooter eventually learns the same painful truth: Barrels don’t lose accuracy overnight. They lose it one careless cleaning at a time. At Redleg Precision Guns  in Chandler, Minnesota , we build and maintain rifles that live at the intersection of craftsmanship and science. We chamber, bed, and tune rifles for PRS, F-Class, ELR, and precision hunting and we’ve scoped, measured, and

Command the Dark Picture this: It's 2 AM on a sub-zero night in southwest Minnesota. The wind bites through your gloves, and the only sound is the crunch of frost under your boots. Suddenly, a coyote's heat signature blooms on your scope like a ghost rising from the snow. That's the power of thermal optics turning the hunter into the unseen predator. At Redleg, we've seen how these tools revolutionize night hunting, but only when matched with precision craftsmanship. The Ther

Comparing Precision in Factory and Custom Rifle Actions: Pros, Cons, and Redleg Refinements Borden Accuracy: The Pursuit of Perfect Symmetry Overview: Jim Borden’s actions are synonymous with true precision. Benchrest shooters rely on them because every line, lug, and bore is cut to near-molecular consistency. The Ridgeline and Alpine are among the most concentric custom actions ever made. Pros: EDM-cut raceways and lug seats ensure perfect bolt travel. Ultra-tight tolera

I. The Rifle Action as a Dynamic Structure Every rifle action is a pressure vessel, a torque tube, and a resonance system all in one. The moment the firing pin strikes, the rifle transitions from static geometry to a dynamic elastic system  steel flexes, vibrations travel, and forces balance across microscopic imperfections. Let’s break down what actually happens inside that split second: The firing pin accelerates  at 10 – 15 feet per second, striking the primer with roughly
