    Hey all. I'm just getting started in PRS Rimfire. I'm new to this game, but have been shooting competitively in various games for 40+ years. One thing I've learned is that in the beginning you don't know what you dont' know. You also don't know what works for you. I'm trying to figure...

    Hi all. I'm going into my first PRS 22 match unprepared. I've got some match experience doing other things, but know enough to know that I don't know. I normally try to begin shooting a given gun game with basic equipment so I can focus on fundamentals. In this case that means a...

    Hi all, I've been looking for a $600 ish scope to get me started on PRS Rimfire. I'm a pretty experienced shooter, but long range and PRS in particular are pretty new to me. In short, I know enough to know that I don't know much. I was considering the Arken EP-5 5-25X56 FFP as well as the...

    Do Savage bolt sleeves help with slop, or are they just eye candy?

    HI all. I searched and didn't find this specific question answered. I have a Savage 10 that was built for me as a blue printed custom shop job, as a favor. It shoots great, especially for what I spent, but I'm looking to see if there is any reasonable way to clean up the extreme slop in the...
