    Precision Rifle Gear Let’s Talk Bipods

    This needs more attention. So many recommendations are for 6-9" bipods online, and I've only ever seen it cause problems for people not on a bench shooting level targets. Unless you live in Western KS, you're going to be shooting at different levels of targets at some point, and it's easier to...

    Precision Rifle Gear MDT ACC Elite Full Length Bridge EOI

    Honest question - OG post says What's the call for a top cover based on? I know a lot of this kind of stuff is marketed for running clip ons, but Imma venture a guess that a very small percentage get used for that. Is it just for aesthetics, or something functional? Am I missing out on...

    2025 Nightforce elr steel challenge & Krg extreme

    One of my friends was pretty ticked off this last year over the prize table. He's used to PRS and NRL22 X-match prize tables. I think he just had an overall bad experience last year though. Targets going down on day one put him on the range and shooting stages for 14+ hours. Top it with an...

    2025 Nightforce elr steel challenge & Krg extreme

    Guy shooting the SAUM does not recommend it for ELR competition, says he'd never build an ELR gun in a short action again.

    2025 Nightforce elr steel challenge & Krg extreme

    I have two friends who've shot the NF ELR, one shoots a 7 SAUM with 180s around 2800ish, the other was doing a 300 Norma with 245s at ~2900. Guy with the SAUM felt a disadvantage of over an MRAD difference at a mile: Data source: Hornady 4DoF I might not go 7mm if you're trying to win or get...

    2025 Nightforce elr steel challenge & Krg extreme

    What divisions will there be? I've never been, but it seems like some guys are know are speccing out great for some of the lighter divisions.

    One Piece Scope Mounts ..What do you use?

    I got an Eratac and was shocked at how heavy it was when I picked up the box. I guess making it from steel explains a bit of the price.

    Burris XTR PRO 5.5-30x56 SCR2 vs Leupold MK5 7-35x56 MIL PR2 for ELR & PRS

    "What the pros are paid to use" A MK5 isn't holding anyone back, but most all of those guys are bought and paid for by Leupold. I mean, if they paid me enough to justify shooting 2 day matches all year, I'd do it too. PRS isn't a cheap sport, and the MK5 isn't a bad scope.

    Burris XTR PRO 5.5-30x56 SCR2 vs Leupold MK5 7-35x56 MIL PR2 for ELR & PRS

    I know a number of guys in PRS who switched from the MK5 to the XTR PRO and never looked back. PR2 is a great reticle, but the XTR PRO has everyone beat when it comes to features, especially PRS centric features. FOV between the two is going to be night and day. I personally dislike the MK5 on...

    Decisions, decisions

    I think the ones I've looked through were manufactured in late 2022 or early 2023. Personally, I don't care much about CA in my scopes since I wear glasses and it always shows up when not looking straight though my glasses lenses. I'm used to it. Most of the CA is there when you're on the...

    weighting/balancing a KRG W3

    I tried to make a raw KRG W3 work in PRS for over a year, and it never quite balanced out. Vision released their M-Lok Forend, and now my gun is perfectly balanced on a game changer. I highly recommend getting a good forend from Vision, or Next Shot Precision. I've run both, and tend to prefer...

    No love for the 300 WSM?

    Berger's BC numbers for the 220 LRHT: Berger 230 Hybrid: WSM was pretty popular loaded long for 1000yds BR from 2016 to 2020, numerous loads have been posted for 215s and 220s, especially with RL23. Running 230s with h1000...

    No love for the 300 WSM?

    The PRC can run the 230s at 2950 - how close are you to hitting pressure there? For a 220 Hybrid, would anyone really want to be running the PRC at 3050?

    No love for the 300 WSM?

    Looking at building my first long action cartridge for ELR specifically, and have it pretty much narrowed down to 300 WSM and 300 Norma. I'm leaning toward the WSM based on the facts that: There's Lapua Brass for $1 cheaper than Norma 65 gr of powder vs Norma's 80ish Abundance of excellent...

    Decisions, decisions

    Burris has a lot of CA for my eyes, but the controls on the XTR PRO are exceptionally well thought out. Toolless zero and zero stop, removable turret for writing on, reticle design... Gosh I wish they hadn't launched with the red... For anything under $2k and over $800, the XTR PRO gets my vote.

    Preferred barrel blanks - REVIEWS?

    Regarding PBB's barrels, I can say that I know several people running their barrel blanks chambered by a local guy and they are stellar. A lot of PRS regional matches have been won by them, and no one's sponsored by them. My .223 barrel cut from a PBB was incredibly accurate and consistent. I'm...

    Curious why not Bushnell? I'm not a big fan of theirs. They're SUPER hyped on Reddit.

    ARC Coup de Grace Builds

    I mostly like the idea of swept handles. I really missed my Sterk knob when I went from Tikka to Lone Peak and a TL3.
