    Bolt Action for $2500 Max?

    Thanks! That’s a long way out. I noticed Ruger was offering standard RPR models and then a bit more expensive version coming from their custom shop. May I ask which version you have?

    Bolt Action for $2500 Max?

    Thanks! MPA seems like a good option out of the many good options that have been offered in this thread. They have been consistently recommended.

    Bolt Action for $2500 Max?

    Thanks very much…….I did not know that about DD rifles. I would have hated finding out the parts were proprietary after I bought the rifle. I exchanged some emails with Woody at MPA. I mentioned I was from IL and suppressors are not legal to own. I asked him about using their 6.5 brake on a...

    Bolt Action for $2500 Max?

    ….but thanks for the thought anyway….. I am a bit older now and a .300 Win Mag is a bit more drama per shot than I prefer nowadays! 😂 When I was 20 something if you could have done this with a .458 that’s what I would be looking for! My gas gun is a Grendel and I love the easy push per shot...

    Bolt Action for $2500 Max?

    Thanks! Taken in the spirit it is offered and I really appreciate both comments! I have a .270 Winchester XTR (not even the good one) that I used to hunt with that I got in the early ‘70’s that grouped sub-MOA with the first load I tried. Straight out of the box like that. It was the first...

    New to PRS - which rangefinder to use with Kestrel Elite

    Thanks everyone. I am learning quickly that some of my questions are because I really don’t know what I am talking about. I was thinking an LRF and Kestrel would help me develop better DOPE that I could then use in PRS matches. Yes? No? I have never competed in a single match yet. I also...

    New to PRS - which rangefinder to use with Kestrel Elite

    I am a newbie and am interested in getting a rangefinder that connects with a Kestrel Elite. SIG 2400 BDX or Bushnell 1 Mile? Interested in any and all advice. Thanks,

    New to PRS ...need advice

    Thank you all for the advice! I have a lot of options for mounting the optic to look at now and you have already helped me understand the ring height question - which was bothering me. The DOPE/ballistics aspect of this sport is one of the things that really grabs me about PRS. The thinking...

    New to PRS ...need advice

    Thanks Tony! I looked at their website and their stuff looks awesome and would like to go in that direction. While playing around with the rifle and scope I figured the optic would mount with low rings but I would not be able to get low enough on the rifle to get a good sight picture at higher...
