    PRS Talk California Sharpshooter Showdown

    This last weekend, MDs Ryan Kerr and Charles Roberts hosted their first PRS match in Bakersfield. The location was fantastic. Close to the freeway, 10 min to Bakersfield, 4 hours from Bay Area, 4 hours from Sacramento, 3 from LA and 3 1/2 from Vegas. It was a good location for a lot of...

    Rifle Scopes How important is a zero stop?

    I used to run the Long Range Practices in our area, and cant tell you how many people get lost in the turrets and are miles off target as a result. Zero Stop is a feature I recommend to all shooters and every single one of mine has that feature.

    Rifle Scopes Razor 4-27 kahles 525i or NF 7-35 atacr?

    All three are great options. The Nightforce, is probably the single most used scope these days in PRS style competition, especially in the Mil-C config. The Kahles is a wonderful piece of glass that is almost the equal of the Nightforce in terms of reticle functions, while the Vortex is the...

    Swarovski STR 80 reticle off center?

    This happens - Mine had a similar issue and they resolved in short order. Swaro does a good job with warranty work.

    New spotting scope?

    Not really needed - However, if you want the option, and not look at it all the time, Swaro's is electronic and you can turn it on and off.

    Safran/ Vectronix Terrapin-X *** Update***

    So, Ive been using mine a few weeks now and am “generally” very pleased. It is also replacing my Sig 2400, and I too, did a side by side comparison of the two, akin to Frank with similar results. Couple of observations: 1. No case....that douche bag they provide is an odd accessory. 2. Range...

    Need help refining 22lr choice

    I've been down this path sooooo many times.....First, i built a very custom 10/22 and it was fantastic. Easily sub 1/2” at 50. But.....wanted to push it further. Then came the Annie 54:30. OMG.....talk about accurate. But honestly, not the most fun to shoot as its “work”. Then....the...

    Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

    50 Yards, the center red circle is 1/2” and it was Eley Tenex. This group, was actually shots 5 through 10 from this rifle after getting a zero (which took the first 5 rounds!).

    PRS Talk Binoculars or Spotting Scope?

    So - I attend several matches each year, and have been an RO/Spotter for a great many of them. At our matches every two months, I set out a pair of Swaro 15x56 binos, and a Swaro spotting scope which the club uses. The binos are ALWAYS taken first. Inside 600 yards, it is easier, faster and...

    Vudoo, Annie, or ?

    This is a great thread! I actually am lucky enough to own 2 Annies, a highly modified 10/22, and a Vudoo. The Vudoo rocks and I have zero negatives to provide. Most users will be very happy. The 54 action, is just plain a thing of beauty as well. With the right ammo, I can not outshoot the...

    High end scale question

    This is absolutely correct! Note, they do this only for the rounding up or down, not the entire load! (basically, 1/2 of one kernel)

    High end scale question

    Sort of....Yes, I know people that actually put the powder in a grinder so as to get small increments to get their weight to an exact level. However, it was NOT a recommendation, simply a comment about how far we want to take the reloading game. If one buys a high end set of calipers, they...

    High end scale question

    Its only money....OCD can be a part time hobby when you use a high end scale. Its the ultimate rabbit hole. What you will find, is that to get the best measurements, one starts putting powder into coffee grinders or hand grinding kernels so they dont weight so much......(my scale goes out to...

    Damn That's Sexy!

    Not a bad price, all things considered. I think that stock alone costs nearly a $1000.

    Price Check On LNIB Swarovski SLC HD 15x56 Binoculars

    So - Heads up - there are, I believe, two versions of these. About 18 months ago, Swaro updated the model and the new ones have nicer coatings than the old version. I have used both, and much preferred the newer ones. We use these a lot at the range to spot impacts on steel out to 600 yards with...

    V3 or Lab radar

    I owned both, used them both for a few months and ended up selling the V3 due to the POI shift issues described above. Both of them, showed similar numbers and results and once I learned how to use the Radar, Ive had no problems. (Okay, getting it to register the subsonic Eley ammo on a 22 was...

    Gunsmithing Separated case stuck in AX.

    Simple problem to solve. I made a "stuck case removal tool" using a 10mm "easy out" available at the hardware store. Put it on the end of a socket extension. Remove the bold, and from the rear, insert the easy out into the breach. Twist a could of times and pull out the round. A 10mm easy...
