    PRS Talk Any comps in New Zealand?

    PRS started in Australia in 2017 with one match and has been growing the number of events since then. Take a look at https://www.precisionrifleseries.com.au/ The 2020 calendar is there (assuming they dont all get canceled). Our matches tend to be limited to 500 meters, since thats all many of...

    PRS Talk Any comps in New Zealand?

    I am in Aus, and as far as I know, none of those formats are run in NZ (but I could be wrong). We do have PRS matches in Australia. The biggest match I know of in NZ was just run this past weekend. Its a field course format called the NZ Mountain Challenge. I dont think they have a web site...

    Recommend a range finder please

    Thanks again. Since posting this and getting the recommendations, I have been doing a lot of reading up on the Vortex 4000, Leupold 2800 and the Leica 2800.com. From what I have read, all would do the job I need them to, but I am going to go with the Leupold. It seems like a solid step up on...

    Recommend a range finder please

    Thanks guys. Interesting to see the Leupold RX-2800 getting so many recommendations. Its good to hear because it seemed to me that Leupold has been on a bit of a down hill slide for a while

    Recommend a range finder please

    I am looking for a rangefinder that will range animals to around 1000 yards. It will be used primarily to hunt with, but also for checking targets in PRS matches. Looking for a good value option, but reliability and warranty are factors I am considering. Technology in this area is changing so...

    Kydex rifle mag tensioners for AI mag holder

    I want to make some mag holders out of kydex. The style I am planning to do is a "taco" wrap around an AI mag, with 2 tensioning screws down the open side. Can anyone suggest a supplier for a good tensioning set up? Also, if there are any good tutorials online for this sort of thing, please...

    Mike has a wealth of experience building benchrest rifles and hunting rifles. I dont know how much experience he has with Precision Rifle builds, but he is an absolutely top notch rifle builder.

    Barrel pictures

    Bore scope help you assess the condition of a barrel, and tell you a lot about how your cleaning regime is working. But the most important factor as to whether you need a new barrel is really down to how it shoots. The only caveat to that is if you shoot a lot of matches and the barrel looks bad...

    Question for anyone running 6BR based case in a Tikka T3

    Thanks. Good to know. Are you able to share what sort of velocity and at what barrel length ?

    Question for anyone running 6BR based case in a Tikka T3

    Not in my experience with other rifles, as I generally find that custom actions will handle pressure better than factory actions. So I dont agree that its purely a caliber discussion. Hence what I am looking for first hand experience with that particular combination before I tool up for it.

    PS Game changer - which one?

    I want to get a game changer bag for PRS matches - mainly off barricades. I think the pint size is probably the best option from what I have read. I am thinking probably the waxed canvas with sand fill, but would be interested in any other opinions before I pull the trigger on one. Also with...

    Question for anyone running 6BR based case in a Tikka T3

    I am currently running a 6XC on a Tikka T3 action for PRS matches. It shoots great, but I would like to go to a milder case when I rebarrel. At this stage I am thinking 6BRX, but I wonder if I will get the velocity I want with this action and a ~26" barrel. I was thinking I may be better off...

    Gunsmithing Disassembling KRG stock

    Thanks. Yeah, thats along the lines I was thinking. I am wondering if I am better off making up steel or brass inserts for the forend and butt stock and bolting them on rather than trying to open it up. I am going to see what material I can come up with and do some experimenting

    Gunsmithing Disassembling KRG stock

    I have a KRG stock on my PRS rifle and want to play around with the weight and balance of the rifle for matches. I would like to remove the screws holding the butt stock together & see if I can add weight in there, but the manual warns that the screws wont go back together if I do this. Has...

    Best mags / adapters for BR cases?

    Can anyone tell me hat has proven to be the best way to run a 6BR or BR improved case out of a PRS style bolt rifle? Is there a preferred AICS mag? And what mods are proving to be the most reliable?

    Question - Tikka trigger sub 1 pound?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I would prefer to do it without replacing the trigger, so will give the Yo Dave. If that doesnt get me where I want, I guess I will be looking for a new trigger next year.

    Question - Tikka trigger sub 1 pound?

    I have an aftermarket spring in the trigger of a Tikka T3 which brings the pull down to ~ 1.5 pounds. I would really like to get down under a pound. Can anyone suggest a spring that will do this reliably and wont slam fire if adjusted under a pound?

    Best Base for Tikka T3X

    I just bought an MDT base to replace a 0 MOA EGW rail. I liked the look of the MDT, but only have around 20 rounds through the rifle since I swapped the base over.
