    Gear - First Road Match

    Gotcha. Well, the way I think of it is as camping trip + rifle match. If you cover both those bases then you're golden. As far as match stuff I only bring what I'm going to be packing on my back for the day of shooting, plus extra ammo if it's a 2 day. Weather gear as needed.

    6mm Dasher

    Have always run 0.002, never an issue with setback in the mag. It's a Dasher so not much recoil lol.

    Gear - First Road Match

    What exactly is a road match? All my matches are at least 3 hours away, and once it's 4-5 hours I'll usually camp the night before.

    Current Surgeon vs AI Action

    Lololol, I've never heard that one before but now I won't be able to get it out of my head. OP - Agree that Impact is the better choice compared to the Surgeon, it's essentially the modern evolution. I got a newer manufacturing Surgeon action 3-4 years ago, it was nice and well made, and it...

    Which bipod for PRS and NRL Hunter

    I don't have a ton of rounds through it, but thus far it hasn't fallen off. I shot a NRL Hunter match last weekend with a lightweight 6.5 creed and it held fine across 19 stages in one day. There's probably some movement under recoil but nothing that's caused an issue.

    Which bipod for PRS and NRL Hunter

    Double pull lightweight. I run one for NRL hunter and also carry the same bipod in my PRS pack. My default PRS bipod is the Atlas CAL but I could easily run the double pull without complaints. Side note - I did drill and pin the double pull to remove any panning rotation.

    Leofoto tripod for NRL

    I could take or leave the tac table for shooting off of. I usually will just throw a bag on the top of the leveling head if I'm going to shoot from the tripod. The tac table is nice for glassing though, I throw a bag on top of the table (with bag oriented vertically) and binos on top of the bag...

    Leofoto tripod for NRL

    Leofoto SO-362CX, two section inverted, sturdy, fast to deploy, nice and tall. I use a RRS TA-3 leveling head in mine, but there are lots of options for different heads. Tac table = DIY. Thick piece of 8x10 polycarbonate, drill two holes and mount an Arca rail section on the bottom. Cover the...

    Swarovski 15x56 as PRS Spotting Scope

    100% you can use the Swaro 15x56 as a spotting scope for the whole PRS match. They are the gold standard and you don't need a second set of binos to find targets, it's very easy with the Swaro's alone. I wouldn't worry about a rangefinder, you can totally get by without one. Put the Swaros on a...

    Rifle Competition Events What would you change or do differently with current competitions/organizations?

    @PRS-JohnB Keep shooting regional matches, try to meet as many guys as you can and make friends, and also make mental notes of where they finish. Pay attention to your % of winner score. That's your running benchmark that you're trying to improve. If you shoot in the 70%'s, you're getting...

    Pistol ar....lvpo vs red dot

    I've got a similar pair, shorty pistol and a full size with LVPO. I run a Holosun 510c green dot with a riser on the shorty. Nice big window and it's not really a "distance" gun so no need for a magnifier.

    Is this normal for a custom action?

    It probably was clean with a very light coat of grease that had been wiped off. Not really a super intentional process. Just sort of cycling the gun and noticing a sticky spot then getting angry there was a sticky spot and going all ham fisted on the action trying to abuse the life out of it...

    Is this normal for a custom action?

    Somewhat common on new actions that haven't worn in yet. I usually end up messing with it cycling the bolt a million times to smooth it out. Find the angle and pressure where it feels like the bolt wants to bind and run it back and forth through that section a bunch to wear down any sharp...
