I put a sterk knob on my tikka CTR. Which feels very close to my AI actions now. I couldn’t help but think of your AWM
So here’s my AW/Sako TRG 22 for your viewing pleasure

@hafejd30 Are we making this a Tikka's that wish they were an AI thread now?

I was thinking similar but then i shot 3 matches in a row; Saturday my 4th. My learning curve is on a sharp incline; i learn a lot, and very quick. Not to mention, i met a lot of great people. However, am i going to shoot prs a lot? Nah. My Son plans on competing though. He is young.

PRS is a good gate way drug, you learn a lot really fast.
Then branching out to field/team matches is very practical

Yep; we plan on doing a Team Safari.
I don't know of anyone ever replacing one of those rings. Jacob at RO maybe? I would still like to replace the firing springs on my AIs soon. I don't even know if they sell those are not.
It seems like it's probably not going to be possible to get a spare and I'm guessing you'll have to send in your rifles to have the springs changed as well (if they'll even do it). I'm still attempting to track some down though. I have tons of critical spare parts for my AR's and want to do the same for my AI's regardless of "the need".
AI is like Apple it appears in regards to selling replacement parts.
The daily glasses lenses I wear aren’t tall enough for scope use. As such, I have a pair with taller lenses that I wear when I shoot.
If you get into the prone without glasses, does your eye line up behind the scope?
To me, while this might be a scope height problem, it could also be a glasses design problem.

@CollarChoke I use a 1.5" mount with 20 moa and for my face this is the lowest I can go with an AXSR and not compromise my head position. From what you're describing a taller mount could help, but it's hard to say for certain without trying one.

I’m only a bit taller than average, but I still feel your pain. Before my cataract surgeries, with my roughly -11/-10 rx glasses, I needed absurdly tall rings on my AX so my neck didn’t scream at me.
Like, the tallest Spuhr makes, 1.89”. Not the greatest look lol
Now, sans glasses, 1.5” is fine.
If I was still shooting with rx glasses, I’d have a pair made that sit like those shotgunning shades.
As in jacked way the eff up high to counteract that “looking through the extreme upper left corner of the specs which are the shittiest place to look through” problem you I had/have. (I’m right-handed btw.)
Sorta like Hunter S. Thompson’s. Only maybe higher? Hard to tell.
That’s not me. Don’t like those shades, but they’re nice and high. You get the idea.
Might not negate the need for a super tall mount. But it’ll help with discomfort.

Do you have the cheek piece lowered as far as it will go?
With the adjustable butt pad you could maybe lower the cheekpiece and adjust the butt pad accordingly to gain some additional room for your head position.
I also adjust my cheek piece laterally to the side to allow my head to come further over and not feel like I need to "roll" my head.
You can also try raising your bipod height and rear bag. It’ll keep your head up a little more and neck less crunched up.
First post since 2020?A leupold??roast me nerds. I need px cred.
Who ate a hole in your suppressor cover?
Looks like a TBAC SR can so that’s a witness hole for the lock indicator.
Good id on the can, however it’s a liberty with a hole that has no where to go
Excuse my ignorance in the direct reply, I don’t know what to do with my hands

I thought it was a Liberty but he told me doesn’t make them with the hole?Good id on the can, however it’s a liberty with a hole that has no where to go
Thanks. I shoot 300PRC, 300NM, and 338NM, all out of 27" suppressed AI factory barrels. None of them will do 947 yds with only 5.4 mils E! But the highest DA we ever see is about 2500.
Dont listen to low t leupold haters here, well seems like you don’t anywaysA leupold??
I love liberty covers but on ars. Too much fucking to install one
To your point, the cover was intended for a latched can.
if the mk5 wasn’t indication enough, I’m a poor boy with a hot can that needed a wrap.

Hey dude, mk5’s are totally average size..Dont listen to low t leupold haters here, well seems like you don’t anyways

All good. Makes even more sense. I'm running 230 LRHTs right at 2900 in the PRC, but the DA is the big difference. I'm at 200ft MSL.
What powder and charge are you using?
Oops, this is a pic thread, so it’s the one in the middle:

78.5 gr of retumbo acclimated to 35ish % rh for 2 weeks+ prior to loading
79 puts me basically right at 2980-3k.. I start to crunch at 78.7 tho even with the drop tube in order to mag feed
I saw first signs of pressure at 80.0 (Lapua brass, Fed 215M primer, can't remember the MV). I tried 79.5 and was close to your MV, but ES/SD was worse. I have not tried controlling the humidity other than keeping it tightly sealed and stored inside the house. What kind of ES/SD are you getting, and how are you controlling humidity? I'd guess mine is probably around 45-50% RH inside (in AL).
I don't control it per say after trial and error. I just open it up a couple weeks before I'm ready to load for a match and let it sit out.
I found after 12 days being left open it stops speeding up until I assume it's fully in homeostasis with the Utah 30-35% all year long avg rh. If I was living in a more humid climate I would prolly run something to dehumidify it but it's so dry here I don't see the need with the type of competitive shooting I do.
Would have to look back at some chrono data but I have put 40 rounds of this lot over a Garmin it's like 9sd and less than 30 es

There’s a little weird green golf ball sun flare near the table’s base.
I was going to buy a Mk5 when I come out to the US next month...Mostly because after currency conversion it works out £1800 to buy one in the US vs £2900 here. Which makes it seem like crazy good value.
