    Suppressed bolt guns... and accuracy

    I’m a bum, north of 1,400 rounds, 3/4 of that with a can on. Still no loss in accuracy.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    From playing with the tripod yesterday with @Alaskashooter ‘s gun before the SHC. My AT is somewhere near by.

    What gear will help me the most in prs

    So you have identified a few weak spots. Rear bag, support bag, and bipod. Now how do you pick from all the choices? Go RO a two day match. Watch how people use their equipment, what works and what doesn’t. Ask shooters about after they finish the stage, people LOVE talking about their stuff...

    PRS Talk Accuracy International AT vs Custom rifle for PRS

    I can’t comment on the SOCOM failure. But I have seen an AI trigger fail out here in the Mojave because of the dust issues. Not impossible to fix, but it stopped his shooting for the day until he could fix it. Interesting to hear about the possibility of the trigger being the competition...

    PRS Talk Accuracy International AT vs Custom rifle for PRS

    I love my AI, and I’m a fanboy by far. But I think there is an issue of proportionality too. How many custom guns are at a match versus AI’s? I would say on a good day, 20:1. Add in the variety of issues like different manufactures, builders, and people running BR and Dasher’s, it would be...

    PRS Talk Accuracy International AT vs Custom rifle for PRS

    No zero shift on my AI AT either. If you want a chassis that has every doo-dad and latest greatest game trick to hold on one specific barricade, something like the MPA chassis might work better for you. Then again, MPA makes that chassis for the AI AT, so thats an option. I have a RRS plate...

    Night Vision MAWL EC2 mounting and thoughts I didn't see elsewhere

    Back in March I got to borrow some gear for a Nightfighter class, including a MAWL. I ended up experiencing the same issue with having to move the MAWL back an additional slot due to the KAC front sight cross bolt would interfere with Off/VIS/IR bezel. This in turn moved my pressure pad back...

    Suppressors ASR mounts

    I think there is a multitude of problems. With the ASR, it comes down to user error. If you put the can on wrong, and try to force the collar, something isn’t right. Then everyone remember the MAAD mount from Silencerco, which actually did have problems. I think some folks attribute all...

    PRS Talk 223 vs 308 tac class

    In many ways it only really matters if you: 1) are competing for points or go to the finale 2) have a legitimate chance at being high 308 for recognition/trophy. Either way, you walk the prize table in the overall finish. So if you are out to have fun and compare to everyone, it doesn’t really...

    LMT vs LWRC vs KAC for AR10

    Something to be aware of, if you ask Army folks about the M110, you may get varying levels of opinion. This is partially because the M110 isn’t actually specified to be a 1 moa gun, but the procurement was based of average mean radius, which still manages to confuse me most days. So in the...

    Sniper’s Hide Cup 2019 SnipersHide 6/22 & 6/23 Update

    New friends? That means I have to talk to people that also like shooting and being outside? Looking forward to it, and I am sure it’ll all “buff out” in the end.

    Night Vision Let's Discuss Lasers

    Your failure to be specific about their benefits, along with the “Just look them up” feel doesn’t exactly inspire confidence or belief that you actually have any real experience with them. Cool, you read a data sheet. I looked at a spec sheet for a Dodge Viper, doesn’t mean I actually know if...

    PRS Talk Brake vs Suppressor

    I have found it is location dependent as well. ROing matches in the south east, it’s all Dashers and brakes. You go to a NRL match in Wyoming, and I would say 20% or more was running a suppressor from a quick glance around. I will take the extra recoil to have a bit more comfort and when...

    Ear protection

    I’ve run MSA Sordins over Surefire plus. With the electronics it helps me still hear all commands clearly. But even then, running a brake inside tubes or buildings wears on you. I now run a suppressor full time. The weight and moving it around is well worth the exchange to feel a little less...

    Fury 5000 vs Sig BDX 3000 vs Terrapin-X

    Thanks for the solid comparison. As someone who does not own binos for hunting, nor a LRF, this has been on my mind with trying to combine functions to save what I have to carry and purchase. My main concern is now really glass quality. After being loaned Swaro 15x’s to RO a match...I’ve been...

    Rifle Scopes Which Scope?

    For the money, Vortex has some great options, like the PST Gen II you mentioned. Finding a used Razor would be a great choice, and possibly even snagging a Razor gen II could fall within your budget as well. Welcome to the addiction, and in no time clay pigeons will be simple at 300 and you...

    Night Vision Let's Discuss Lasers

    The MAWL far out performs the other civilian/US made lasers if you want integrated illumination along with a laser. Features you have to consider would include: Illumination and a laser integrated? If not, what are you illuminating with? That adds cost to have an IR light, additional pressure...

    What are best mags to use in Accuracy International AT?

    The only downside is you can’t take off the bottom plates, or use the 12+ round magazines if stages require such shenanigans. But like you said, the advantages are there and worth it.

    What are best mags to use in Accuracy International AT?

    You will need to run AW mags as M1match stated above. I tried AI AICS and Magpul AICS pattern mags in my AT. Both are a no-go. The double stack AW’s really hold eleven though, so look on the bright side.
