Wolf Precision's Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast

• Episode 255 – "One More Question" | Because You Asked

  In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson kicks off another installment of the Because You Asked series—this one titled "One More Question." If you've ever called a gunsmith with "just one quick question," you already know how it goes… one more question turns into another—and another. In this episode, Jamie tackles two of the most common (and most misunderstood) issues shooters run into, especially when suppressors enter the mix. Why a suppressor sometimes won't thread all the way onto the barrel Carbon buildup, thread length differences, and how to fix it safely Suppressor alignment, bore rods, and how subtle misalignment kills accuracy Velocity increases from suppressors and barrel break-in—and how that wrecks your dope Why factory rifles often struggle with suppressed accuracy Point-of-impact shifts, re-zeroing, and when problems are "normal" vs. a red flag Jamie also shares a real customer story from a failed hunt, explains how compounding unknowns can spiral fast, and gives you a practical checklist to troubleshoot suppressed rifles with confidence. The episode wraps with important updates on: The Because You Asked video series The Prosumer Gunsmithing School and upcoming in-person training Moving content to Rumble due to repeated YouTube strikes Wolf Precision's return to SHOT Show 2026 and the Great American Outdoor Show The future of the ACE system, pre-fit barrels, and prosumer-level rifle building If you've ever wondered why your rifle suddenly started shooting high, why your suppressor feels "wrong," or what you should be checking before blaming your scope—this episode is for you.

• Episode 254 - Full Custom Rifles, "Drop-In" Chassis Myths & Our YouTube Strike

  In episode 254, we continue our Build Kit series by talking about the top tier option – a full custom Wolf Precision rifle, built turn-key and ready to shoot right out of the box. I dig into who a true full custom is really for, how it compares to our "assembled minus one" kits, and why it's the right choice for shooters who want world-class performance without having to turn a single wrench… at least not yet. From there we jump into a couple of jaw-dropping "drop-fit" chassis disasters that recently landed on the bench – including some very high-end stocks with terrible inlets. I walk through what went wrong, why the "just bolt it in and go" myth is so dangerous, and why proper bedding is still critical if you want a true ¼-MOA rifle. This all ties into our upcoming Prosumer Gunsmithing School, the Armory, and some free "Because You Ask" videos where we'll show these problem chassis and what to look for. Finally, I share the details of our recent YouTube strike (yes, over talking about a gunsmithing vise…) and why we're preparing to move more and more of our content over to Rumble and Vimeo so we don't get erased overnight. I'll also touch on the Wolfpack membership, access to the Armory and range time, and give an update on our 2026 long-range shooting school dates and openings.  Bedding YouTube Vido: YouTube Bedding Video Rumble Account:  Bedding Video Wolf Precision Custom Rifles: www.wolfprecision.net The Wolf Pack Training Center: Learn more here. https://www.wolfprecision.net/the-wolf-pack.html

• Episode 253 - Assembled Minus One: The Most Popular Wolf Precision Build Kit Explained

  In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie dives into the most popular option in the Wolf Precision Build Kit lineup—Level Two: Assembled Minus one. Learn why this "assembled minus one" approach has become the sweet spot for shooters who want a true custom rifle, without the full custom rifle price tag. Jamie explains how Level Two gives you: A professionally assembled rifle built to Wolf Precision standards A massive cost savings by avoiding excise tax A simple, confidence-building first step into rifle building A perfect platform for learning to maintain and upgrade your rifle over time A gateway into the full Wolf Pack ecosystem and the new 2026 prosumer model Whether you're brand new to custom rifles or ready to start working on your own ACE-based build, Level Two is the best of both worlds: full custom performance, DIY savings, and a hands-on learning path that sets you up for long-term success. Jamie also shares how the Wolf Pack memberships add huge value through training discounts, ACE savings, access to the Armory, and exclusive opportunities for Alpha Pack members.

• Episode 252-Level 1 Kits, Wolfpack Perks & Avoiding Costly Mistakes

  In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie continues our deep-dive series into the Wolf Precision Rifle Build Kits—specifically the Level 1 / unassembled kit and why our professional inspection of every component matters. Jamie shares real-world examples from 20+ years of building custom rifles, including the hidden stock and chassis issues that can damage triggers, receivers, create feeding problems, or cripple accuracy before the rifle ever sees the range. He explains why having a gunsmith inspect every component—actions, barrels, stocks, chassis, triggers, inlets, action screws and more—can save you money, time, and heartache while guaranteeing that your rifle actually performs when you put it together. We also dive into the new Wolfpack program, how the Lone Wolf, Pack Hunter, and Alpha Pack tiers work, the massive discounts they offer, and how they integrate directly with the Level 1, 2, and 3 build kit system—plus early access to the Prosumer Gunsmithing School starting December 1st. If you're considering building a Wolf Precision rifle, want to save money without sacrificing performance, or simply want to understand how to avoid the most common build-kit mistakes, this is a must-listen episode.   Wolf Precision Custom Rifles: www.wolfprecision.net The Wolf Pack Training Center: Learn more here. https://www.wolfprecision.net/the-wolf-pack.html

• Episode 251 - Levels, Not Labels: Your Path to a Custom ACE Rifle

  A practical guide to Wolf Precision's Level 1–3 builds, Gen-4 ACE with BAT actions, and the new prosumer gunsmithing path. In Episode 251, Jamie Dodson breaks down Wolf Precision's new three-level path for owning a custom ACE-based rifle—designed to save you money, build real skills, and put world-class performance in your hands. Level 1 (Core Kit): all core components minus the trigger, with training to assemble, maintain, and swap calibers/barrels yourself. Level 2 (Assembled Minus One): a fully assembled rifle minus the trigger (two pins and done), perfect for first-timers who want a correct baseline before learning maintenance. Level 3 (Range-Ready): a complete Wolf Precision custom rifle—optics mounted, zeroed, and ready to perform. Jamie explains why we pair the Gen-4 ACE with BAT Machine receivers (Igniter, VR, TR, Bumblebee, Vampire, Vesper, and more): consistency, perfect headspace, and true repeatability. You'll also hear about the upcoming Prosumer Gunsmithing School (online and in-person Armory sessions), live ACE install demos planned for SHOT Show 2026 and the Great American Outdoor Show, and why paying $10–15K for a rifle isn't a prerequisite for excellence. Sponsors: Krieger Barrels (check Krieger Direct) and TriggerTech (simple, safe, two-pin install). If you've ever wanted to say "I built it," this episode shows you how.
