    Questions on 25GT

    I went from 6.5 creed to 25 creed to 25 GT. In the same rifle I went from spotting barricade impacts/misses at 400 with the 6.5 to 350ish with the 25CM TO 200ish with the 25GT. I improved my recoil management but there is definitely a lot less recoil in 25 GT than the 6.5 creed. (I was running...

    PRS Talk What’s your favourite backpack

    I run the Fehu Outdoors Tilpasse. Designed by a PRS shooter for matches. Good guy with great products. Opens completely with individual cell on the inside. It will also support a tripod on the outside. https://www.fehuoutdoors.com/product-page/customizable-match-backpack

    What do you wish someone told you when you first started in precision shooting?

    A lot of good advice here. The biggest thing I tell new shooters is not to pick a .308. If your looking at PRS style competition in the future, it is all about spotting you shot. You can do it with a .308 but you will learn slowly, and you will be frustrated. Most shooters that quit after 1 or 2...

    Hellfire Match vs MPA DN5

    I shot on a squad last week with a guy with the MPA DN5 last week. He said on the gun wasn’t so bad and that we got a lot less muzzle jump/flip. However I have RO’d a lot. I have been around a lot of brakes. That thing is miserable. I literally missed his 2nd shot because I was still trying to...

    PRS Talk Optic magnification/reticle size

    The glass is much better on the gen 3. It’s is clearer, brighter and crisper. I see much more trace in the gen 3. I currently run the gen 2 on my club gun and the Gen 3 on match gun. I run the 3 at 18 power and the 2 at 15 power most stages. The field of view is about the same at those...

    PRS Talk Optic magnification/reticle size

    Consider the higher magnification scopes will have a thinner (finer) reticle. This keeps the reticle usable at the highest power. I have a gen2 and gen3 Razor. With both at 15 power the gen2 (27 power) is easier to see. I run the gen 3 at a higher power to keep the reticle clearer for my old...

    Questions on 25GT

    For speeds I would say the sweet spot is 2700-2800. If you want more than 2800 I’d go 25x47.

    @Potsy @MinnesotaMulisha I totally missed the threaded part. You are right that will be a real unicorn factory gun. It’s gonna be hard to find a barrel thick enough to thread without going over 7.5 pounds.

    New Ultra light weight chassis

    They sent me a picture of the assembled chassis. 2.5 just like @TheOE800 called it. They make their own butt stocks. Also a chance they are going to come out with a lighter tube for mounting the buttstock. Edited for spellcheck
