    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Never heard of these before. Probably the best option as all the QD sockets are "special" and can't simply be replaced. Do you use a Magpul sling or just use the Magpul clips?

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I managed to get the missing QD sling mounts for my AT from Sporting Services UK. Just two swivels and a screw is needed, I wasn't able to find part numbers online but SS UK sorted it out for me. I also ended up buying the BT19 spigot and BT20B pic rail. My Harris with Area419 mount fit...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I keep forgetting that exists. Some BC numbers: 100 eldm .385 107 smk .430 107 tmk .445 108 scenar .465 123 smk .510 123 scenar .527 123 eldm .493 130 eldm .554 130 smk .584 The two scenars seem like the best options in this lower weight range.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Is anyone using 108gr Scenars? I know Frank and Chris like the 100gr ELD-M, but the BC on that is terrible. The 108 Scenar on the other had is fairly respectable and should be more than enough for middle distance comps (700-800yard max).

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I really wanted this to be true but, I developed a few different loads with 123s and 130s in my Tikka, even had 130elds doing 2950fps at one stage. But nothing was ever as good as my 147s ELD-M load doing 2680. The 147s were also stupid easy to find a load for and really accurate. I've picked...

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition – FML-WBR or FML-MT? Seeking feedback from those who've switched from tree reticles

    Yeah it used to be really common, then went out of fashion. The IPRF really took me (and many others) by surprise as it was very different to the style of shooting we had been doing the last 2 years. Just need to bring back unsupported shooting and we will have gone full circle.

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition – FML-WBR or FML-MT? Seeking feedback from those who've switched from tree reticles

    In the last 2 years of shooting have you ever used the tree in your reticle? If not, then you wont be missing anything and will have the advantages you listed. If so, then you will be giving up something. I’m still in the camp of better to have and not use (often), than not have but need. I...

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition – FML-WBR or FML-MT? Seeking feedback from those who've switched from tree reticles

    Shooting styles have changed, smaller targets and longer stage times means you can (and need to) take your time on shots. The IPRF 22 championship in August was much faster than most people were used, meaning a tree reticle came in handy. If things carry on in that direction then a tree reticle...

    Precision Rifle Gear Chad vs Botnia

    I shot one match with a brake and went back to a suppressor. Like you felt like shit after a day of shooting, the concussion and noise was just not worth it. Suppressor on a centrefire is the only way to go IMO.

    Rifle Scopes Talk me in (or out) of a new S&B 6-36

    I spoke briefly with a guy from SB Germany, said directly that FOV gate will be coming to an end soon but think it won't be until end of next year or 2027. A sponsored SB shooter won the IPRF 22 open class this last month. From Australia though so has the non-cucked FOV version.

    .223 - 5.56

    Yes. I've tested 73eld, 75eld and 75bthps in my 18" Tikka. The two 75s are doing 2750, the 73s are 2780. I did a speed test with BM, Varget, and 8208, and BM was the the fastest. I think H4895 could be a little faster but I don't think by much.

    PRS Talk PRS Bipods

    Do you find that the feet can spin on the bipod when you load it, same as a Harris? It's the one thing I really don't like about the Harris, spiked feet fix that problem but it'd nice to be able to use the rubber feet at times.

    Best way to carry a kestrel for prs type competition

    That's what I've needed up doing, if standing around waiting for a stage I'll just leave it hanging.

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    So there's meant to be two different 1.5-12 coming to market, 1 Chinese, 1 Japanese. Was really hoping something would've come out by now. I'm hoping to get back into some hunting and a properly executed FFP (1.5-3) - 12 scope would be nice to pick up sometime soon. I was following the...

    Compact 3-12x

    I like the 3-12 zoom range, but never really saw a need for an ultra compact scope. Managed to pick up a Bushnell LRTS recently which is a nice scope. Would prefer a LRHS as the donut of death would be perfect at 3x, but they are like trying to find hens teeth.
