In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson shares some big news – the long-awaited Movers Class is officially coming in 2026! We’ll talk about what makes this course one of the most exciting and challenging shooting experiences, from shooting movers to the camaraderie (and barbecue) that comes with training in Georgia.

Then we continue our gunsmithing series, diving deep into one of the most important – and often overlooked – tools in precision rifle building: the lathe. Whether you’re a new gunsmith thinking of chambering your first barrel, or a shooter deciding who to trust with your rifle, understanding the strengths, weaknesses, and pitfalls of lathes is critical. Jamie breaks down what to look for, why setup and alignment matter, and how the right equipment and knowledge can make or break a rifle’s accuracy.

From exciting new classes to timeless gunsmithing lessons, this episode blends hands-on learning with insider knowledge you won’t find in forums.

In this episode of Wolf Precision’s Long-Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson takes on one of the most important conversations surrounding innovation in the rifle world: the difference between how something works and why it exists. With the Gen 4 ACE system about to launch, Jamie addresses the chatter, criticism, and outright attacks the system has drawn from some corners of the gunsmithing community.

Rather than dodge the controversy, Jamie lays out the purpose behind the ACE: transforming chambering from an inconsistent, service-based process into a repeatable, component-driven solution that empowers shooters and delivers world-class results. He explains the vision, the benefits, and why change is not just inevitable—but necessary—for the future of custom rifle building.

If you’ve ever wondered whether the ACE is “a solution looking for a problem” or the solution to the problem, this is an episode you won’t want to miss this pisode?

In this special episode of Wolf Precision’s Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson sits down for an in-person roundtable with legendary barrel maker John Krieger, alongside Sharon Farmer and Jamie Wotasik of the Pennsylvania Gunsmith School.

This is more than just an interview—it’s a rare, behind-the-scenes conversation about the craft, challenges, and philosophy behind world-class barrels. John shares his journey from machining roots in the early 1980s to building one of the most respected barrel companies in the world. You’ll hear stories of trial-and-error, breakthroughs, and the tribal knowledge that separates a “good” barrel from a truly great one.

We also dive into:

• The difference between cut rifling and button rifling—and why uniform twist may be the most critical factor in accuracy.

• Lessons learned from decades in the shop and on the firing line.

• Sharon’s perspective as a custom stockmaker and guild member.

• The Pennsylvania Gunsmith School’s role in shaping the next generation of rifle builders.

• John’s thoughts on passing the torch and the future of Krieger Barrels.

Whether you’re a competitive shooter, a gunsmith, or simply fascinated by the craft, this episode is a deep dive into the legacy, precision, and passion that define the custom rifle world.
