    PRS Talk 6.5CM in Tactical Division?

    Not only this ^ OP - I often spun on a 6.5 barrel running 123 Lapuas running 3025, the recoil is a hair more than my 6mm running 109s, but damn not much especially in a heavy rifle. The BCs are better than some 6mms and the speed is good. The performance between them is splitting hairs, and...

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    Hi Jeff, That’s the batch I was referring to when I said “looked to be an mfg issue that was quickly corrected”. Surely it’s a bummer if you got one. Either way my entire point is to know to watch the legs of ALL tripods. Often when something is going south with the wipers, shims locks etc. it...

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    They all will eventually have issues with leg locks if used in severe enough conditions. A lot obviously has to do with how you care for them, the materials used, but also the ability of each carbon leg to be a consistent diameter, smooth, and the wiper quality. If your strive to save a few $$...

    Hog saddle vs arca Mount.

    It really depends on the situation. On this case we are tracking animals up on the ridge. In general, I only lock down enough to make a stable shot. With a magnum, especially a light one, even locked hard you’ll have to relock to make a follow-up shot. It’s faster in the end not to lock it out...

    Hog saddle vs arca Mount.

    Well me laying down looking through a loop in a piñon tree, helping my buddies. No way could they accomplish this kinda shot without the rails - See more on my field tripod post/UKD

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

    This is the wrong application- The 10lbs/16lbs and open /pro (and only open pro as a season final), are not about the top shooters. The top shooters will always win, but it does take away the incentive for some of them to shoot the less competitive production or tac divisions as several do...

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

    Do formula 1 drivers race against guys driving a Maveric? Do pro golfers use a handicap against each other? Can I walk off the street and enter a pro match? The first thing that needs to happen is to segregate realistically the equipment. No way someone other than a guy with real means is...

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

    So how is high power doing today? Across the West at least, it is almost dead as to what it was like 20 years ago. Show up to many of these disciplines and you only see a few competitors, many are no longer even being offered or at least not nearly as often. Too many classes and not enough...

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

    Honestly, if we just had classes separated just by realistic weight classes like ultralight/hunter under 10lbs, heavy/16lbs and under, and pro/open unlimited weight and all with slightly lower round counts (also were mimicked in the 1-day matches) you'd probably see more people entering the...

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

    Email Jason [email protected] Or look up them on PractiScore. Tehama, NorNev, SLO snd Avenal all have the lowest key 1 days. NorCal is cool but a bit tighter wound. Camping is available at Avenal so that can be a value on a long drive. Edited to add - NorNev has BLM camping just a 1...

    Optics question

    Thanks for the update! yes, like I mention it's almost impossible to mistake 20 or 30 moa for 0, and miss alined barrels today are not very common. Point of last interest, as mentioned over-tightening even slightly, can limit erector travel as can rings slightly misaligned in windage...

    PRS pack, Dragon Egg or Mystery Ranch Assault or Front?

    * oops we don't rifle ammo - lol we refill ammo in our packs. Sorry, that was so butchered -- but then again at least I am constant... consitantly bad.

    PRS pack, Dragon Egg or Mystery Ranch Assault or Front?

    First I have to admit I am not against having multiple bags. I use the egg for PRS style and matches like ours where it's spread out up and down draws but the entire day <2 miles. It holds enough ammo and snacks. For two days, we just have to remember that we rifle ammo, etc for day two. Even...

    Optics question

    I'd love to see a picture of the base. A 0 vs 8.7mil is very hard to mistake by anyone. Ya, misaligned barrel interfaces are not as common as they once were, and as you pointed out generally semi -ok as long as the windage is not way out, or it is extreme and steals too much from the travel...

    Optics question

    I really am suspecting Sean69 might be misunderstanding, or misusing terms and getting himself crossed up. As a reference, he said the BTR had 29 mils of "UP" travel, but he probably meant total elevation travel of 29; but when talking about the Vortex seems to be taking what Vortex said and...

    Optics question

    I never really looked at the scope specs you bought. but you did say Vortex Venom correct? Then said something like it has only a total of 18mils (low travel) for a scope in this class. But I just saw the specs say 25 mils.. That's a big difference.. Hum, the plot kinda twists along as no way...

    Optics question

    In this case @flyright would be correct and Vortex wrong. But it is so easy to get backwards as we dialogue - ie turning up the turret actually turns down the reticle in the scope adjustment, this points the barrel higher in order to look at the same POA. Just as left is right when communicating...

    Optics question

    Think of the reticle inside a tube that threaded rods that attach to the knobs you turn, as you turn it moves it up and down and side to side. Now think of a slightly larger tube (it really is only a tiny bit larger) that goes around that inner tube housing your reticle with the threaded rods...

    Optics question

    Unfortunately, that is a relatively low travel scope. No matter what you do out to 400 with that scope you will have to use some holdover. Actually, even with a high travel 4K ZCO, we run out of elevation really fast on 22s. I would not go over 20; but if you have 30 and not shooting at...
