    PRS Talk Divisions - Breaking down the Obvious

    So your reasoning for a weight limit boils down to, "Because I don't like heavy guns and I know better than you." Claiming weight is an issue of money is patently false when the cost of lead is less than $2 per pound and you can melt it using nothing more than an ordinary blowtorch. Anybody...

    PRS Talk Divisions - Breaking down the Obvious

    Just because other sports do it does not mean it's a good idea. These limits have a logical reason as to why they exist, because without them your targets end up beat to shit or full of holes. I'm not convinced yet that there's a logical reason to actually restrict rifle weight beyond, "I don't...

    MasterPiece Arms Unveiling A New Chassis

    They sell you the chassis with multiple grips included in the standard price, not sure why being able to customize the distance between the grip and trigger is being treated like a bad thing here.

    PRS Talk Tactical Class - Why?

    So you're fine with the shooting sports as they are, except for the parts you don't like? Any competition will always have people who bend the rules as far as possible. If you ban one method of gaming the rules, people will game the new rule as best they can. Any kind of subjective rule about...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns One Shotgun to rule them all

    The loads that most semi-autos have trouble with are the 24g or 7/8oz target loads that most people shooting trap and skeet will use (besides ATA trap and their fat 1 1/8oz loads). Some semi-autos will shoot them, others won't, even among the same model of semi-auto shotgun. My Beretta A300 can...

    Impact Precision Actions

    Impact Precision actions are timed pretty close to 50/50, compared to most actions that are closer to 100/0 or 105/-5. Instead of all the cocking being done when you open the bolt, it only does part of it when you open the bolt and the rest happens when you close the bolt. This is why an...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns One Shotgun to rule them all

    That was kind of my point. If you already have a shotgun for self defense and you want a shotgun to do "everything else", you should only really look at over/under shotguns. They have huge advantages for target shooting and the only disadvantage when hunting is a one less shell loaded at a time...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns One Shotgun to rule them all

    The person talking about bringing a Citori to a fight apparently didn't bother to read the OP that says a self-defense shotgun is already owned by the OP. They're not looking for a new shotgun for self defense, they're looking for one to do everything else.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns One Shotgun to rule them all

    Since you already have a defense shotgun, I'll go a little bit against the grain here and seriously suggest that you purchase an O/U rather than a semi-auto or a pump. Seems weird at first, but there's a fair few advantages to an O/U when hunting and shooting clays compared to a semi-auto with...

    Rifle Scopes Buy a TT or ZCO ??

    Having seen through both scopes in person, I think I know the difference you're talking about and I even believe I can place what it is specifically. The two scopes appeared identical to me in terms of clarity, like you mentioned, in that edges of objects and text you saw was equally crisp with...

    Thunderbeast Muzzle Brakes and Vortex/Leupold Scope Rings

    The rings are 27.94mm tall, so any scope with an objective bell 55.88mm or less in external diameter should fit on a flat top receiver. Before doing any math I had previously tried it with my Athlon Ares ETR and my S&B 5-25 PMII to see if I could use these to mount them on my AR - no dice but it...

    Looking for Chassis Advice

    I have used both the mercury buffer system and their solid buffer. It was a noticeable difference between the two, because the mercury tube prolongs the duration of the recoil making it move less but push for a bit longer essentially. The mercury is also heavier than just a solid steel buffer...

    Looking for Chassis Advice

    I ended up buying the used MPA folder today, admittedly in part because of the wait times associated with ordering a Matrix or ordering an MDT with a folding stock configured how I wanted. The MDT's longer forend was a nice touch, but it was the only thing I personally felt the MDT really had...

    A+ customer service @ XLR industries

    XLR is definitely a great company to work with. My point of contact for two purchases there was Matt Means, and he was able to hook me up with an XLR Envy heavy fill chassis just barely after it had been first teased last May or so in addition to a carbon chassis. There was some confusion when I...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares turret grease options

    Having dealt with the mush of the old style of turrets on an Argos BTR, you're going to just want to remove the o-ring and keep it in a baggy in your rifle case for if it rains. I used the Team Associated green slime on my turrets and it helped, but as mentioned by others the difference was...

    Rifle Scopes 2k to spend for glass

    If your budget was $1,500 sure. It's not in the same league as the Nightforce or Schmidt you can buy if you don't mind spending the full $2,000 and waiting a little bit to find a deal.
