Since we're playing around with developing, I'd go with something like that. Your photo is under-exposed by a couple stops. I like the DOF you got on the shot though. What camera/lens did you use? You also should consider getting a grey card if you're going to do this a recurrent thing, they're very helpful for exposure and white balance. You can get cheap ones on amazon that have white/18% grey/black. You can get different sizes, and they're very useful.
I need to get myself a lightbox.

This is what I got. It’s small and fits in my camera case. Mostly comes out in oddly lit dinner scenes where I don’t want my sweetie to look like a lemon from the yellow house lights. :)
Well if you are in scenarios with lots of different color temperatures, your white balance is really just a choice for which source you'd like to be nuetral, wouldn't it? I think sometimes if scenes have multiple light sources, perhaps the lights are mixing, which could be giving some weird results.
How about just a normal shot in pure daylight, with daylight white balance, does that look right? You could do a test with shooting the daylight balanced jpeg and then shooting a raw version. Then in lightroom, use the dropper tool on a pure grey area to set a white balance and see if it looks the same. If it doesn't, you might have a defective unit. Maybe use one of these if you'd like to be extra precise! https://www.amazon.com/Calibration-Exposure-Photography-Included-Instruction/dp/B012TI52FS
I have one of these and love it. Easy to carry around and use.
Try a white or grey card. Hold it up, in the light you're using and set a manual WB. As far as I understand it's a sure thing if you use it right, but I'm an AC on the holding side not the DoP's side.
Yup, that's why you need to have the camera spot meter the white balance off the focus point, and set the focus point on the center of the rifle. If your camera has the option, have the spot size be as small as possible.
Ideally, you would take an out of focus photo of an 18% grey card with manual white balance, then correct it in post. I'm sure /u/bcphotog can chime in.

I only use the grey card and for white balance.
