ELR pushes the limits of long range rifle shooting. What defines the range as “extreme” depends on the performance of the rifle you’re shooting. One way of accounting for this is to consider ELR shooting to be the distance at which your bullets slow to transonic speed. If you are an accuracy and precision minded rifle shooter, Pierce can build a ELR rifle that will meet the specs you desire and help you stand out among the competition.

The heaviest and longest barrels generally provide the best performance in F-Class competition by improving stability, reducing recoil, and helping the rifle track consistently through each shot. However, these advantages must be balanced against the weight restrictions for your specific F-Class division.
The goal is to build a rifle that comes as close as possible to the maximum allowable weight without exceeding it. By carefully selecting your barrel contour, stock, action, scope, and other components, you can optimize balance, stability, and overall performance while remaining compliant with F-Class competition rules.
The weight of your rifle is determined by the components you choose. Every part contributes to the rifle's overall balance, handling, and performance, allowing you to build a firearm tailored to your specific application.
From the stock and action to the trigger, barrel, scope, rings, bipod, and anti-cant device, each component plays a role in the final weight. Whether you're building an ultralight mountain rifle, a precision competition rifle, or a long-range hunting platform, selecting the right combination of components helps achieve the ideal balance of weight, accuracy, and performance.
