David Tubb Builds ELR Adaptive Target Rifle for Chase Stroud
Shown above is David Tubb, the legendary 11-time National High Power Champion, posing with a very serious rifle used in the Extreme Long Range (ELR) game. David has jumped into the Extreme Long Range discipline in a very big way, producing a .375-caliber, long-barreled ELR version of his famous Tubb rifle, called the Adaptive Target Rifle (ATR). A version of this rifle, piloted by David’s son-in-law Nate Stallter, set the current ELR World Record in January 2018. See video below for a full report.
This video shows Team TUBB setting a new ELR World Record of 2011 Yards using the Tubb Adaptive Target Rifle in .375 CheyTac. Nate Stallter nailed three shots at over one mile — 1768 yards. Then Nate broke his own record, going 3 for 3 at 2011 yards. ELR Central hosted this match, held at the Front Sight gun range, Pahrump, NV on January 21, 2018.
David Tubb will Be Working with Chase Stroud
David has been working with Chase Stroud, a talented young Texan who has competed in tactical rifle competitions and worked with Team Applied Ballistics on ELR projects. Chase has long respected Tubb’s shooting ability as well as his design/engineering talent in developing successful rifle platforms, such as the ground-breaking Tubb 2000.
Recently, Chase had the opportunity to shoot long range with David Tubb. David crafted a left-hand ATR rifle for Chase who will be working with David in the future. Posting on Facebook, Stroud wrote:
“Growing up as a kid I taught myself to shoot long distance from David’s videos. David Tubb was my idol then and still is now. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would share the line with him much less get to represent his product in the long range community. A literal dream come true for me….
Yesterday we shot some video for the new Tubb ATR system. After pressing him for years he made me a [left-hand ATR] and it shot unreal using his absolute ammo. I thank you … David. It’s time to get some practice under my belt and start shooting again…”

FYI: All Tubb Adaptive Target Rifles are identical in their design and manufacture. The user picks his or her barrel length, barrel contour, caliber, and barrel maker to fit their preference. These are not chassis systems.
This long range shooting is catching on. Many countries will not (legally) let you shoot beyond a certain distance due to safety.
The rifle set-ups are becoming more available for this brand of shooting – I am becoming interested.
Curiosity getting the better of me…
What’s the added ring on the front of Davids scope and the device attached to the eyepiece (that sits above scope) also?
David – I’m confused. The bottom of your product pages for the “Adaptive Target Rifle Receiver Assembly”, at a $5800 price, states, “*Barrel, scope and other accessories shown not included”. Is a barrel and chambering included in the $5800?
No..
Q: Article states that Tubb is working with Stroud, but neglects to mention what they are actually working on? Obviously shooting stuff, but to what ends?
Horse photo bomb!
