Everybody wants an “accurate AR,” but most people are chasing internet fixes instead of fixing the real problems. In this episode, we break down SPR vs DMR vs Recce, then get brutally honest about what actually matters when you’re trying to tighten groups.
We cover:
Why barrel choice matters more than anything else

Trigger, receiver fit, stock choice, and tolerance stacking

Why suppressors don’t magically make rifles more accurate — but can make shooters better

Ammo testing vs guessing

Why “do-it-all” rifles usually suck at everything

And the hard truth: if you’re not a 1-MOA shooter, no parts list will save you

No magic tricks. Just reality.
👉 Listen, learn, then stop blaming the rifle.

This episode of the Texas Predator Hunting Podcast is a tribute to Casey Smith, a true West Texas legend, accomplished hunter, loyal friend, and one of the last real cowboys.
With time to reflect, we remember Casey not just for the numbers, the contests, or the stories, but for how he lived. Casey lived life fully. He showed up when it mattered. He helped without hesitation. He hunted hard, smiled often, and reminded everyone around him that tomorrow is never promised.
From contest hunts with Nate, to unforgettable moments in the field, to the stories that define true sportsmen, this episode reflects on legacy, friendship, and the reminder we all need to live life to its fullest.
If you take anything away from this episode, let it be this:
It’s a great day to be alive.
Rest easy, Casey. You’ll never be forgotten.
