PRS Talk MK12 for PRS Competition Question

[Nostradumbass]

I’m currently building a clone correct MK12 Mod1 with the current 2.5-8 leupold MK4 optic.

I’m contemplating in my mind to use it in my area PRS matches. I do have other rifles much better suited for PRS, but I’m wondering if an 18” 5.56 would be competitive at all in a competition.

Thanks in advance for your time!

Why not a DMR style match?

Why not a DMR style match?

While definitely more appropriate, it looks like PRS matches in SE Texas may be my only option.

Well go for it anyway then and have fun!

It would work fine for most gas gun only matches. A few people shoot them at one I attend. Distances typically 200-650 yards, occasionally further out to ~750. Is rare for target sizes to be 1 MOA or under.

I think it would be fun! I'd probably opt for something like a Leupold MK5 3-18, as the clone correct scope would likely be the weak link in the system (although then it wouldn't be clone correct).
