Summary

Mark, Jimmy and Nick Laufenberg sit down to discuss Jimmy’s “Entry-level-ish” rifle that he and nick put together here at the shop with a few simple tools, a vise and some trial and error. And no - no engineers were used in the making of this rifle, so you, too, should be able to do it! We go further in-depth on trigger selection and adjustment, lessons learned after our first build, whether or not this actually is the cheapest route in the long run, and the better perceived multi-use factor of this rifle over Mark’s (Yes, of course we get on the subject of “Just hunting”). Following this episode, Mark and Jimmy prepare to take their guns out to the range to shoot through their first “PRS-type” stages both as shooters and for their firearms. Stay tuned to see how they shot! As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast

0:44.0	If we wind up repeating ourselves a little bit,
0:45.8	we actually intended to do this episode
0:47.8	before we went down to Missouri
0:49.2	to meet with a guy named Isaiah Curtis
0:51.3	to build Mark's super goochy awesome custom rifle.
0:55.0	We were going to then talk about the rifle that I built with Nick,
0:58.0	which is more of your quote-unquote entry-level precision custom rifle. But you know I mean just with traveling and
1:06.0	timing and this that and the other thing it ended up being that we're
1:08.4	recording this one afterwards so again if you listen to that one and a couple of
1:11.6	things we say here get repeated, I don't know.
1:13.6	Now you just got it double times put into your head and your noggin.
1:17.0	Yeah, it's all about impressions, Jim.
1:18.6	You don't learn things just the first time.
1:20.7	We gave you double the reason in that case or double the things to think about
1:25.4	to hopefully get you on track to building your own custom long-range rifle. But here we
