New PRS 22 production division build ideas

[Adam B]

I have been kicking around the idea of a 22 Production build. I am thinking a CZ 457 AT-ONE with a DNT TheOne scope. What seems to be the go to for rifle and scope for this division?

7-35 is more optic than you need. I'd opt for the 457 MTR over the at-one, and maybe an Arken sh4j 6x24x50 to make it under MSRP...check that the combined combo whatever you choose falls under the $1600 MSRP, not street price.

I’d definitely go with the DNT scope. Never heard anyone say “I have too much scope”. lol The glass is excellent for the price point and it has a good reticle. MSRP is $699.

As to the rifle, that would come down to what you like and what would be under $900 MSRP. Both the At One and MTR are under $900 MSRP so either will work depending on your needs and barrel length you want.

The Bushnell Match Pro ED is a good scope for the money. Might be close to the limit depending on the rifle however. Nice reticle. I don't love the turret clicks though, bit mushy.

I use a 7-35 MK4 on my RimX and have zero issues with the magnification

What is the $ limit for rifle and scope for the production class?

$1600 list price

Didn't realize the DNT would make it under the price cap, a better option for sure if it does...

Didn't mean to imply it's an issue, I run an xtr pro 5.5x30 on mine...but never crank it past 15x in a match. Didn't think the DNT would make msrp, and somebody new to the game can get in trouble quickly using too much available magnification...eye relief, eye box, fov and dof will all be better the lower the magnification.

No worries, I agree with the range use assessment, I am normally between 5-18

I will say the extra magnification on a stationary KYL stage comes in quite handy

I just want to be sure a Cz mtr and dnt scope will meet under the 1600? Are you allowed to add an arca rail?

 

[Adam B]

I think you can as how reading rule 2.2.5

Yes, msrp is for rifle and optic only. arca, cheek piece if needed, bipod, scope rings, mounts all allowed outside of the msrp limit.

I bought a 457 mtr and an Arken EP5 for Christmas as a base class rifle build. MSRP was $849 and $599 according to both manufacturers in December. Now CZ has the rifle at $899 and Arken has the EP5 at $630 so my base class rifle is now open in NRL22 but not in PRS. I'm not sure if the 12 month grace period thing works out for me or not but I'm looking for a $30 cheaper MSRP scope.
