Everything you should know about custom sniper tripods and how they can improve your aim and accuracy while out hunting

In a world of shooting (whether hunting or competitive) some products and product brands simply stand out of the crowd, because of their proven abilities in the field. Some great qualities are often associated with a certain brand name, which is also the case when it comes to custom sniper tripods.

There is a host of long-range shooting tripods available these days, which is why the rifle owner needs to find a brand with a good track record. In fact, some well-known companies in the US are recognized as leading manufacturers of sewn goods that relate to long-range shooting and hunting and they often specialize in providing clients with a choice of top-quality products to help them achieve the best aim.

These companies usually team up with top-notch designers to create and deliver customized rifle products and accessories, including custom sniper tripods, like the PIG 0311 Tripod which contains a durable thin-film protective ceramic coating known as Cerakote (or weapon art) on all its legs.

Cerakote is an exceptional formulation that enhances a number of physical performance properties on custom sniper tripods, including chemical and corrosion resistance, hardness and impact strength and abrasion/wear resistance. You can get a fully customized PIG 0311 Tripod, for example, for around $310, depending on the patterns, logo’s, and other detail you require.

When it comes to long-distance shooting, the best advice for shooters and hunters who want to perform better is to use their equipment correctly and optimally, and the use of tripods, in particular, has over the years contributed tremendously towards accuracy in this regard.

The tripod market is, however, flooded with designs and they all pretty much look the same, which is why most hunters and long-range shooters prefer to have their tripods customized. For many shooters, the rifle tripod plays a vital part in finding the best aim and shooting accurately, because it helps support and steady the rifle.

There are also many reasons why rifle owners prefer to customize their rifles and accessories, but the main purpose of applying colours (or camouflage) to your tripod, is to deceive the animal while out hunting. Camouflage works by disguising your gear, whether to disrupt the outlines or to prevent the casting of shadows or countershading.

Serious rifle owners are some of the most passionate people walking the planet and when it comes to rifle accessories, they leave no stone unturned to find the best in quality in performance. It is therefore important to find a trusted company if you are looking to buy custom sniper tripods, because, in the very least, you cannot afford or allow the legs of your tripod to get gummed up with paint while out hunting.

When you considering a custom sniper tripod, the quality and durability of both the tripod and the camouflage coating are very important. Make sure the tripod you choose is suitable for your needs and that you will be entirely satisfied with its performance. It is also a good idea to compare different companies and prices and to be realistic about your budget when you start customizing your rifle and its accessories.

The best place to start your search is usually the internet but make sure to read more about the company and their products, before you make the purchase. When it comes to specific brands, people’s choices differ, but take into consideration that some companies come highly recommended by experienced hunters and long-range shooters, which speaks volumes when you have to make your final decision about a custom sniper tripod.

Find out what a popular choice is and make sure you have your personal design (including the patterns, lettering and logo’s) ready so that you can email them to the company of your choice.

Important aspects to consider when opting for a custom suppressor cover

When it comes down to choosing the perfect fit suppressor cover for your rifle, there are often a few things you may want to consider. While there are many different types of brands available on the market these days, some hunters prefer to have their own personality and style imprinted on their rifle accessories, whereby they would opt for creating a custom suppressor cover. These designs include anything from custom printed fabric to logo embroidery and the options are rife.

The importance of a suppressor cover is also sometimes underestimated, and the inexperienced hunter or long-range shooter will only fully understand how it works when they have used it on their rifles. While a suppressor wrap may for many people, simply look like a relatively simple accessory, they are designed to protect the rifle suppressor from damage and to stop heat haze from distorting the shooter’s vision.

If you are a serious hunter that frequently visit countries with hot climates like South Africa, for example, a custom suppressor cover will certainly be worth your while. Depending on what you use the rifle for, some suppressors also take quite a beating during continuous firing and they become extremely hot. Some modern suppressors that use high-temperature amalgam compounds or steel can withstand extreme periods of fully automatic firing, without damage.

Most top-quality rifle suppressors that are available on today’s market, are said to have a claimed service life of greater than 30 000 rounds, but this does not mean that the outer part of the suppressor is protected from scratches and other damage. This is where the suppressor cover comes into play and for most shooters, it is an important and efficient accessory that ultimately enhances their overall shooting experience.

Suppressor covers can be found in a variety of designs and brands at almost any firearms store or gun shop. What you should consider when deciding to have a custom suppressor cover made, is the material it is made from, because apart from anything else, this is the biggest influence that speaks to the quality of the wrap. The material should be strong and durable and able to hold extreme heat (or even cold) temperatures.

If the material of the suppressor cover is of poor quality and not able to withstand extreme temperatures, it will not last and it may negatively impact on your aim. In this case, you would have wasted your money. To avoid these kinds of pitfalls, you should do some research first and find a company that specializes in accessories for the long-range shooter, including reliable and affordable custom suppressor covers.

On the topic of material, you should also consider the inner core of the suppressor cover, because this part should be able to take the heat. If the inner core is not heat resistant, it will not be able to sufficiently protect your hands. When you are looking at different types of suppressor wraps, make sure to read information about their heat rating and the same applies if you are going to have wrap custom made for your rifle.

You can also search the internet to find out what brand is the leading choice for suppressor covers and other long-range shooting accessories. It is important to know what other people say about a certain brand, so be sure to do your homework before you order a custom suppressor cover online. Some well-known and recognized brands specialize in this field and you can visit their website to read more about their products or to find out if they can customize your suppressor cover to your liking.

A custom suppressor cover should also not add unwanted or additional weight to your rifle, because when it comes down to aim and accuracy, everything needs to be in balance. Your concern should always be with the quality of the entire product and it is therefore recommended that you find a credible brand that will conform the dimensions to the rifle you own.

Finding the Best Tripod to Suit Your Needs

Before investing the cash into buying a tripod, there are a few pointers you need to consider. These are tips which can help you to make an investment which is best suited for your needs and budget and finding a solution which can deliver years of effective use and successful shooting.

Regardless of what your shooting profession is, you don’t want to carry around a heavy burden as it might be the case that you have to travel on foot for long distances. The best would be to opt for a sturdy and strong, durable but lightweight solution. The team at Rauch Precision are leaders in the field of rifles and all other hunting and shooting equipment and one of the most popular tripods they have available is the Carbon OTB Tripod. It is a lightweight option and comes as an OTB or out of the box option. The carbon fibre material delivers all the durability you’ll need and is still a breeze to carry around.

We’ve mentioned durability but it is important to distinguish that there are two types of durability when it comes to tripods. For some, a tripod which lasts for years would classify as a durable item. Another crowd sees a tripod which can take exposure to dirt and dust and being chucked into the back of a truck and still deliver smooth operation and sturdy support as a durable item. The PIG 0311-G Tripod is such a tripod. It is a simple no-nonsense item which can take high impact and still deliver exceptional shot placement. If you are the kind of shooter who spends a lot of hours outdoors and often relies on your tripod it is the solution for you. Even though it is not a high-end option, when you use it in combination with a PIG saddle, there is nothing which will set you apart from the most outstanding and highly advanced tripods on the market.

Another helpful feature of the specific tripod is its short centre column. It is something you would want on your tripod as well as it enables you to go down low for a sturdy aim. How low you might wonder? According to the product specifications, you can go all the way down to 11,5 inches for a sturdy shot.

Still on the same tripod model but another fantastic feature is that it has interchangeable feet. You have the option between rubber footing or spiked feet to give your tripod a sturdy and even grasp into soft soil, snow or sand.

If you have the option of a sturdy carry bag made of durable fabric, don’t hesitate to take it for your tripod will do many miles and can do with all the protection it can get. It is also helpful to carry around if the bag has a handy handle or can go onto your back. There are various options available and these are often made of resilient nylon fabric.

If you choose well, you only have to choose once and then you’ll have a shooting partner for life. It is often the perception that you get so used to using the same tripod that you don’t want to switch over to anything else ever again.

Once you’ve found the tripod which is the best make and model for you, learn to set it up the correct way and teach yourself to do it quickly. When you are out shooting, time might be a luxury and the last thing you want to do is to lose your target simply because setting up to aim took too long. The right scope for you can make a world of difference to your shooting experience and the team at Rauch Precision seems like a good source of information to guide you along the way.

How Does A Suppressor Cover Work?

Before you’ll be able to tell whether you need a suppressor cover in your range of shooting equipment, you truly need to understand how it works and how it can be beneficial for you to own. The team at Rauch Precision are very passionate about all their products and as a large part of their business focus on sharing information and expanding and improving the industry, they gladly helped with some vital information to truly understand all there is to know about suppressor covers.

A suppressor cover slips around the barrel of the gun and has two core purposes. The one is to reduce the mirage caused by the heat of the barrel which then minimises your visibility through your scope. The other reason has to do with the level of noise reduction you’ll experience from the metal parts during discharge of your gun. It can be rather pointless for you or very valuable depending on the kind of shooting you do. If a suppressor cover is the perfect addition for your kind of shooting requirements, it can be so effective, you’ll never look back on your purchase.

In general, suppressors get extremely hot after only a few shots of rapid-fire. In fact, a suppressor can get so hot that it becomes dangerous. Certain firearms will overheat a suppressor much faster than others. For example, after firing only a 30-round magazine rapidly your AR-15 rifle can cause the suppressor to become dangerously hot. Many other semi-automatics or fully automatic rifles will burn it out even far quicker. It is simply because of the immense amount of heat created while shooting.

Tests show that after only a few minutes of shooting, your suppressor can easily reach 500 degrees Fahrenheit and can even go up to 800 degrees. Understandably, these high temperatures are bound to cause a heat mirage and due to its location, the mirage is set to influence the vision you have through your telescope. In certain cases, especially while shooting in colder conditions, the outside temperature can cause smoke formation from your suppressor can, which will influence your visibility even more. It is why a suppressor cover is so important. Not only does it prevent any accidental burns while operating the super-hot barrel, but it also prevents the mirage from influencing your visibility.

The second important function is the huge reduction in mechanical noise you’ll find from using a suppressor cover. Although the suppressor reduces the sound of the shot, it still has a mechanical sound occurring every time you pull the trigger. The suppressor cover does wonders to muffle out the specific sound, providing you with protected and silent shooting while enjoying high visibility.

The one negative most shooters experience from using a suppressor cover is that it does take far longer to cool down. The two tips the team at Rauch Precision offers to overcome this concern is simply to put your weapon down with the suppressor facing upwards to let the heat escape at top and secondly, to slip the cover back for a bit while not shooting to let the suppressor cool down faster.

As you would expect, these covers have to be made of highly durable fabric able to withstand such high temperatures. It is why most rely on highly durable and heat resistant fabrics such as Kevlar or Nomex often used in combination, while it also includes Kevlar bungee cords. It is how the premium suppliers ensure a fire-retardant solution which requires minimal effort to maintain as you can simply pop it into the washing machine.

Does this sound like the kind of shooting you are often part of? Then maybe you should consider opting for a suppressor cover and enjoy these benefits next time you are out shooting.

Already have a core from your Pro-Series or another suppressor cover? Now you have the option to get the outer shell only. Change colors or patterns without having to buy the core again. Please provide us with the length of the suppressor and you make and model. The Pro Series is currently available in diameters from 1.25-1.75 inches.

#Suppressor Cover Outer Shell

The Patriot embodies the American spirit, it may be worn, but it is battle tested, tried and true. The Pro Series is a specially designed cover meant to address the needs of the PRS/NRL shooter with its ability to mitigate mirage and stay in place during rapid fire stages with high round counts. Your suppressor heats up an average of 17 degrees each shot. The hotter your suppressor gets, the more mirage that you will see. Mirage will distort your sight picture and make it hard to zero and shoot targets at long distance. A shift in a suppressor cover not only has the potential to send it down range, but a shift in POI (point of impact) is also possible. The Pro Series helps obstruct the mirage and keeps your cover on your suppressor where it belongs. The inner material will withstand 1,000 degrees so there is no need to worry about burning it up. The webbing and "G" hook system keeps the outer cover tight to the inner core, while the Kevlar slip cord keeps the cover in place. The Kevlar cord can withstand temperatures of over 800 degrees...but let's be honest, if your barrel is that hot on your precision rifle, it is toast. The wrap is designed to be used with suppressors that are on precision weapons and with strings of fire consisting of 60 rounds in approximately 10 minutes and limited rapid fire. This cover is not full auto rated! The inner core comes in two sizes: 1.25: Good for suppressors 1.25"-1.5" in diameter 1.5: Good for suppressors 1.5"-1.75" in diameter Custom suppressor wraps available, contact us for more information.
