Hunters, first-time LTC holders, competitive shooters, and families — here's what neighbors say about buying at Outback.
"First handgun purchase and I was nervous about all the MA paperwork. They walked me through the LTC steps, no rushing, no judgment. Left with a Shield and actually understood what I bought."
"Traded in two older deer rifles toward a new bolt gun. Their offer beat the shop in Brockton by a good margin and they explained every number. Straight shooters — pun intended."
"I shoot USPSA most weekends and these guys keep the optics and ammo I actually need. FFL transfer on my competition pistol was quick and the fee was fair."
"Took the Saturday safety class as a family. Instructor was patient with my teenagers and made the range time genuinely fun. Certificate in hand for our FID applications."
"Ordered a rifle online and had it shipped here for transfer. They texted me the moment it landed and had me out the door same day. This is my shop now."
"Been collecting for 20 years and these folks know their older iron. Consigned a couple pieces and they moved fast at prices I was happy with. Real community shop."

This isn't just where we do business — it's the ground where American liberty was won. From the first musket carried ashore near our own hometown, to the embattled farmers of Lexington and Concord, to the great armories that armed a young republic, the Commonwealth taught the nation that a free people should be a capable one. Outback Arms carries that trust forward — lawful, careful, and proud of it.
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,their flag to April's breeze unfurled,here once the embattled farmers stood,and fired the shot heard round the world.
The Pilgrims step off the Mayflower carrying matchlock muskets — the first firearms of a new society — a short ride from the fields that would become Plympton, our hometown. Survival and self-reliance are one and the same.
The colony organizes its towns into the first standing militia regiments in America — the direct ancestor of today's National Guard. From the very start, freedom is understood as a shared duty, not a spectator sport.
Colonists send 342 chests of tea into the water rather than bow to a distant crown. The Commonwealth's stubborn spirit of self-reliance lights the fuse of a revolution.
On the morning of April 19, minutemen answer the alarm. At Concord's North Bridge, ordinary farmers stand against an empire — and the first shots of American independence ring out across the countryside.
George Washington's arsenal at Springfield becomes the nation's first national armory. For nearly two centuries it forges American arms and pioneers interchangeable parts — the spark of American manufacturing itself.
Smith & Wesson, Savage, and Harrington & Richardson rise across Massachusetts. Yankee ingenuity, industrialized — the Bay State becomes the beating heart of American firearms making.
We stand on the shoulders of embattled farmers, colonial gunsmiths, and armory hands who believed a free people should be a capable one. Every transfer we run and every class we teach carries that legacy forward — lawfully, carefully, and with respect for those who came before.

★ Precision & long-range know-how
Free tools and straight answers for F-Class, PRS, CMP, benchrest, and rimfire precision shooters. Run the numbers, then come talk load and glass with people who actually shoot it.
Will your bullet stabilize? Uses the Miller stability formula (Sg). Aim for 1.5+ for full stability and consistent BC.
How many clicks to move your point of impact — for both ¼-MOA and 0.1-mil turrets — plus a quick MOA↔MRAD converter.
Quick convert — 1 mil = 3.438 MOA
MOA (~1.047″ / 100 yd) reads in inches; MRAD (3.6″ / 100 yd) is base-10 and pairs cleanly with a mil reticle. Neither is "better" — what matters is your reticle and turrets match so you can hold and dial in the same language.
Heavier, longer, higher-BC bullets need faster twist. A 1:8 6.5mm happily spins 140–147gr; a slow 1:9 may under-stabilize the long stuff. Run the calculator above before you buy a barrel or a box of match bullets.
You'll want your MA license sorted first — we run Mass-approved safety classes every Saturday for your LTC/FID. From there, F-Class (Open & FTR) and CMP/Service Rifle are the friendliest on-ramps to formal long-range. Ask us where the local matches are.
Long range lives and dies on repeatable turrets and a reticle you trust. FFP for dialing and holding at any magnification; enough elevation travel to reach your distance. Browse our optics →
Trigger time is everything. A quality .22 (Vudoo, RimX, CZ 457, Vantage) plus match ammo builds wind-reading and position skills at a fraction of centerfire cost. Then translate it to the big gun.
Chasing a load, a chambering, or a first precision build? That's our favorite conversation. Call 781-585-6615 or stop by the shop and we'll get you pointed the right way.

★ Next generation · Youth .22LR precision
A safety-first, fully supervised .22LR rimfire precision program at our local club — the same fundamentals that build champions, taught with patience for first-timers. Marksmanship, discipline, focus, and a whole lot of confidence.
Every session is supervised and MA-compliant — our staff confirm all age and licensing requirements before anyone touches a firearm. New shooters and loaner rifles welcome.
