    Rifle Competition Events 2021 Steel Safari

    The 2021 Steel Safari is coming up in June and I would like to be a first time competitor and have a few basic questions. I've shot a few PRS style events at the regional level and have a pretty good understanding of my abilities but would like to move to a field type event. The description...

    Suppressors Airline travel with a suppressor?

    Who has travelled with a suppressor? I'm looking at a match which is far enough away that air travel is the only option. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to transport the suppressor? I don't like the idea of having it in the rifle case knowing of instances where TSA has cut the lock off...

    What's up with shipping charges on RRS website

    Ok, so I think I have talked myself into a TVC-33. Added one to my cart along with a TA-3-QC. I seriously planned to check out and was stopped dead in my tracks by a shipping charge of $103. What the f? Their products are expensive and I was prepared to pay the toll, but I am not going to be...

    ADM Harris bipod adapter - rail type?

    I can't tell from the ADM website whether the Harris bipod adapter AD-BP is pic rail only. Or do they have an adapter that fits an Arca/RRS dovetail rail? https://www.americandefensemanufacturing.com/view/product/15/ I'm looking for an adapter to attach my Harris bipod to an Arca rail. I...

    ARCA rail for Tikka TAC A1

    I'd like to add an ARCA rail to the TAC A1 as the rifle has done really well for me in some local matches this year. I would like the ability to position my bipod anywhere along the length of the handguard. I seem to recall a thread where one member said he used a Sawtooth rail for his TAC A1...

    Salt mixture for salt bath annealing

    So like many on the SH forum I started salt bath annealing using a kit from Ballistic Recreations. It has worked well so far except that I only ordered one container of his salt mixture and now I don't have enough to fill the pot to the desired level. So in search of replacement salts I read...

    PVA Comp-40 Tripod

    I'm starting to get impatient. I've had one on order now for nearly 2 1/2 months. Back when I ordered their website said next shipment expected May 1, 2019. Still says the same thing. No updates to my order status when I login. Has anyone heard from them or gotten their (recently ordered)...

    Salt Bath annealing - first impressions

    Ok, so I annealed my first batch of cases today using the salt bath and I deem it a success. Successful in that they look like the Lapua brass did when it came from the factory and successful that I didn't scald myself or even create a huge mess. So I guess that qualifies me as an expert.;) A...

    Salt bath annealing question: covering for work surface?

    Has anyone found a good non-flammable cover for their work surface? My bench top is wood and I'm trying to keep the inevitable salt mess from splattering all over it. A plastic sheet doesn't seem like a good idea given the temperature of the salts.

    RRS HC-PRO

    The HC-PRO looks like the way to go to convert my Harris BRM-S bipod to work on either a pic rail or ARCA. If you have used one please let me know. I'm looking to add a rail to my T3X TAC A1 handguard.

    Ball head vs Geared tripod head for spotter

    Looking for some user's experiences as I'm deciding which way to go. I appreciate hearing what has worked for you. Does the ball head or the geared head have any distinct advantages other than the precision of the geared head? Any drawbacks?

    Tripod height

    I'd like to hear others thoughts on the height of their tripod that is appropriate for observation uses. Primarily for use with a spotting scope from a standing position. I'm about 6' tall and I've noticed that some of the popular tripods, for example the Feisol 3372, list a max height of 58"...

    Tripod adapter for Leica CRF series rangefinders

    It's been a while since this was discussed so I'm wondering if anyone has found a tripod mount that they really like for the Leica? I'm on the fence with the $98 version from Leica. Just rubs me the wrong way that I should have to pay an extra $100 when they could/should have a 1/4" threaded...

    Ballistic solution in the LRF

    Hi all, I'm looking for use cases for when you find it advantageous to have the ballistic solution calculated in the LRF. Trying to decide if this is a feature I should have in my next purchase. In the past I have had 3 devices, the LRF for ranging only, a basic Kestrel for wind velocity and...

    Suppressors Suppressor use for 223 Rem bolt gun: 1/2-28 to 5/8-24 adapter?

    I recently joined the ranks of suppressor owners with a SiCo Omega 30 cal. It's primary use is on my 6.5 Creedmoor and the first trip to the range was a big success. For the time I'm going with a direct thread attachment method. I'd also like to suppress my 223 Rem varmint rifle. I know the...

    Powder charge weight - how consistent does it need to be?

    Has anyone done a careful comparison between methods for weighing powder? I know that the FX120i will give very accurate results, but how accurate is necessary? If my scale were only able to weigh to 0.1 grain will that have a real effect on ES and SD? Has anyone taken an identical load and...

    PRS Talk Should I just accept that I'll lose most of my brass at a match

    I've read an AAR for Mammoth Sniper challenge that you won't be picking up any of your brass. And I watched Shooting USA tonight and their coverage of the Bushnell Brawl where the floor of the copter was literally covered in brass. It's not just the expense of Lapua brass but it's also the...

    Mag pouch for T3X 10 round mags

    Anyone have experience with a suitable mag pouch for a 10-round Tikka mag? This is for my T3X TAC A1 which uses a staggered design. A pouch made of nylon with a shock cord to secure the mag is fine. And it needs a means to attach it to a belt. Thanks
