We love to highlight our partners on the OTM Tactical blog. These featured manufacturers include (but are not limited to) Bartlein Barrels, Hornady Manufacturing, and Accuracy International. We especially describing them because they happen to be among the best and brightest manufacturers of rifle and rifle parts in the field.

With that said, we would like to take the opportunity to share something about ourselves. There is plenty of information about OTM Tactical that some may find quite interesting. Here are some facts about who exactly we are and what exactly we do.

Here at OTM Tactical, precision long-range shooting is our game and our passion. We go out of our way to carry only the best rifle upgrades and accessories for you to step up your shooting performance. We carefully select our products according to the motto "if we won't use it, we won't sell it," so you know you're looking at the cream of the crop when you browse our catalog.

One of the manufacturers we are most pleased to carry is Defiance Machine, whose bolt actions have brought a new level of quality into the shooting world. Let's take a closer look at what makes them special.

The serious precision shooter is always on the lookout for an advantage. And that's not to say that equipment can make up for skill, but rather that you need to find equipment of sufficient quality that it doesn't get in the way of your skill — meaning, ideally, that your rifle won’t present any issues that hurt the accuracy you're actually capable of. Problems in construction, assembly, and materials of your firearm can all lead to wild or inconsistent shots, especially with repeated use and the cumulative stresses of recoil, and it's very hard to improve your marksmanship when your own equipment is sabotaging you. How can you get the most out of target practice if you don't know whether it's you messing up, or the gun?

An inferior rifle won't just hurt your accuracy by being unreliable, but it can also teach you bad habits. If you're constantly correcting for your rifle's flaws, you'll find yourself overcorrecting later when you shoot with a better firearm. Naturally, the solution is to shoot with only the best, and supplying discerning marksmen with the best rifle parts and accessories is what the OTM Tactical online store is all about.

So, let's address the question we posed in the title of this article: MasterPiece Arms does, in fact, live up to its name, and here's why.

Let's say you've built your perfect rifle — chosen the best stock, barrel, and trigger for your prime shooting preferences. What's next? You'd be looking at rifle accessories to give you a new edge in precision, and maybe give yourself some additional options suited to hunting, competition, or whatever interests you in the shooting world. At OTM Tactical, we have the accessories you might be looking for to kit out your rifle, and we have the supplies you need to keep it going.

High-Performance Actions

It's only a matter of time before the serious precision shooter looks into upgrading their rifle's action. Smoother operation and increased accuracy are both appealing for every shooting situation — tactical, hunting, competition, and more.

The difference between long and short action is pretty subjective except for the size of the rifle cartridge — obviously, long actions use longer ammunition, but there's some debate as to how this affects accuracy especially when combined with other factors. One thing to remember is that short-action rifles tend to be shorter overall, which can make them easier to handle if that's your preference.

OTM Tactical carries some of the best actions on the market, from prestigious manufacturers listed here.
