Why would I know anything about POI shift? I work as a Ballistics Engineer and pro shooter. I spend a lot of time on ranges firing a variety of weapons. Not only do we conduct firings for new developments but also proof production runs for accuracy. This allows me to gather a lot of data……
Cerakote – more than just good looks?
Lets cut to the chase – no bullshit, is Cerakoting worth the money and if so why!As you all will know by now I see every conceivable firearm on the range in my day-to-day job. Some good jobs – some frankly are bloody shocking (paint jobs that is) – but who am I to judge……
Lets talk about torque!
Torque as some of you will know is rotational force. You apply torque with your arm when using a screwdriver for example. If you apply too much torque you may snap the head from the screw, too little and the screw will not hold materials firmly together. The application of measured torque is important because……
The M-pro7 Universal Cleaning Kit.
The GnZ office got hold of the M-pro7 universal cleaning kit about 4 months ago. I had up to that point been a user of various brands until I ran into a problem – interactions between brands. I had cleaned with one Brand and lubed with another. When I got to the range I found……
Dolphin Gun Company tour and interview with Mik Maksimovic.
Recently I took one of our project rifles up to Dolphin gun company for a new barrel. We detailed the rebarrelling in the last Presicion rifle build article.

I spoke with a very informative gent at Trueflite barrels in NZ who really helped us out and put me in……
Building a Precision Rifle – Part 3 – Extended range shooting.
The GnZ Precision rifle build has up to now been a huge success. At both 100yds and 600yds the rifle achieved very good results. Would this bear out at longer range. First we should bear in mind the budget so far..
MDT HS3 Chassis system – £500
Second hand Remington 700 ADL – £350

Upgrading your Remington 700 trigger to a Timney.
If you shoot bolt action rifles then you have no doubt heard of Timney triggers. Allen Timney began making aftermarket triggers in 1946. Although Allen is sadly no longer around the company remains family owned and adheres to his original ethos – to make superb triggers which will enhance the accuracy of the rifle.
