    PRS Talk Minimum required gear for a match?

    Alright after going to the match here's what I can say was nice vs necessary. Necessary 1. Rifle. Make sure it's in good working order, several people lost time or received a DNF on a stage because of malfunction that could have been avoided. Have a dope for it if possible otherwise zero it...

    PRS Talk How far will the rifle take you?

    Great info, that's exactly what I was looking for. I think for now I'll DBM my Howa, buy some more ammo hit a class, a few matches and save another $1500 or so for something custom by late summer.

    PRS Talk How far will the rifle take you?

    My question is how far can you go with the Bergara LRP, RPR or PCR? I can get each of them in a 6mm Creedmoor which I'm pretty set on. Would those rifles still be competitive with the equipment in the open class? Those are currently in my budget. I liked the idea I can use them in the production...

    PRS Talk How far will the rifle take you?

    Yea my current rifle doesn't have a DBM. It's just a stock Howa 1500. No threaded barrel either. So rather than put a bunch into it I'm thinking I'll keep it as a backup. My thought now is mainly between the Bergara LRP and the MPA PCR as both would allow me to compete my first year in the...

    PRS Talk How far will the rifle take you?

    I shot 2 local club matches last year and I'm hoping to do 3-5 club matches as well as 3-5 PRS matches this year. I'm looking this year to purchase a more serious rifle. Something with a detachable magazine and a few other nice things to have in a competition rifle. I'd been looking at the...

    Springfield M1A

    So I've been reading a lot about this rife, it's one of my favorite semi auto DMRs. I'm seeing quite often that it is NOT an MOA rifle. Is this true? If so is it something you could make into an MOA rifle? I'd love to throw it is the Sage chassis and have some fun with it.

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope under $650 for me?

    I want to hunt deer. I want to be able to shoot 1000m as our range nearby is possibly putting one in. It could be a year though. So if it gets me comfortably to 500m for now and may be a push for 1000m? I can throw the scope on my AR and buy a Nightforce once I can afford that in a year or two...

    Rifle Scopes Base rail and scope ring selection

    Soooo good newsss and bad news... I received my scope... The cross hairs are crooked. So I will be sending this back. The scope rings I received were the vortex tactical rings medium. The thing is they say "MADE IN CHINA" are vortex products made in china or is this a re-branded Chinese thing...

    Rifle Scopes Finding the right scope

    SO that BSA Scope I picked up... Went to mount it and the cross hairs are outa wack. They are angled when the scope is 90 degrees. I read so many good review for that scope I'm going to do an exchange and see if the next one is right. If so I'll be happy as long as it works. If not well on to a...

    Rifle Scopes Base rail and scope ring selection

    Shoot. Already ordered the 20 moa. I don't know the elevation of the scope only that everywhere I looked it had good review so I figured at $130 it's worth a shot. It will hold me over until I can get a S&B.

    Rifle Scopes Base rail and scope ring selection

    I have a Rem 700 I just ordered a scope. I now need to order a base rail and rings. What height base rail will I need in order to hit 1000yds that will also allow me to shoot accurately in short range for hunting. Will the 20 or 40 moa rail make it so my zero is too far out for...
