How A Remington 700 Gunsmith Can Improve Weapon Accuracy

By Phyllis Schroeder


Anyone who owns a firearm wants their piece to be an elegant ornament of self-defense with the greatest precision possible. Fortunately, there are after-market upgrades available for many brands and of firearms available. To ensure proper installation, one should seek out a professional, such as a Remington 700 Gunsmith.

The process of making a firearm accurate is a delicate one. Being able to hit whatever target is being aimed at seems simple enough. However, anyone who has fired an old revolver or some of the out-dated machine guns can attest to the necessity of precision when firing a weapon.

One of several factors involved in accuracy is a firm hold on the grip without clenching. One basic upgrade that can improve grip strength is simply to install a better grip that allows the shooter a better hold on the gun. This is an item which should be shopped for personally rather than finding an upgrade online, as the shooter will want to experiment with more than one style.

Rifles have the added issue of recoil to consider, and this can be so severe as to make the shooter afraid of the weapon. Minimizing this harmonic effect, or recoil, enables the shooter to control where the barrel is pointed at the time the bullet exits the chamber. The longer barrel has less harmonic effect, and is easier to control.

The only down-side to this minimized harmonic effect is that this longer barrel can slow the bullet down somewhat. To make up for this loss of kinetic energy, one might upgrade to a bullet that gives more. This would be like going from buckshot to a slug, or upgrading some sort of armor-piercing bullet if such a bullet is legal for the shooter to purchase and use in his or her jurisdiction.

All firearms have moving parts, and their tolerance to one-another can make them shift slightly less under recoil. It has been said by many gunsmiths that this process is not just a science, but that there is an art to it as well. Getting small, moving parts to fit together so well that they shift very little as a result of harmonic effect truly requires experience.

Ammunition is another factor involved in accuracy when shooting. Most manufacturers have bullets that they recommend for particular guns due to the fact that these certain bullets have been shown to fire the same time and again. Consistency as well as precision are sought, so those who must have high-precision often make their own ammunition in order to achieve the desired effect each time they fire their weapon.

With the best possible precision and accuracy, any experienced gun slinger should be able to achieve clusters on their target. This is especially true for those wise men and women who practice with a particular weapon on a regular basis. Having an expansive knowledge base about firearms is always good, but only an intimate relationship with a particular weapon is likely to result in true precision.
